G3
History
- G3: Original model based on the CETME Model 58. It had a wooden stock and handguard.
- G3A1: G3 with a single-position, collapsible stock. This design was chosen after earlier experimentation with an MP-40 style ventrally-folding metal stock; excessive recoil caused it to be dropped from consideration.
- G3A2: G3 with new rotating drum rear sight.
- G3A3: The most well known version. Drum sights, a fixed plastic buttstock, and a plastic handguard that does not contact the barrel. The handguard came in a slim, ventilated version and a wide version. The latter allows for the attachment of a bipod.
- G3A3A1: This is a version of the G3A3 with an ambidextrous trigger group and brass deflector. This is an official German Army designation, not an HK factory one.
- G3A4: The G3A4 uses drum sights and a single position, collapsible stock. Entered service in 1974 for frontline infantry units.
- G3A4A1: This is a variant of the G3A4 with an ambidextrous trigger group and brass deflector. This is an official German Army designation, not an HK factory one.
- G3KA4: Smallest of the line, it is a Karabiner, or carbine version of the G3. It uses an HK33 handguard, features drum sights, a retractable stock, and a 315 mm (12.4 in) barrel (reduced in length to the base of the front sight post), that is too short for use with a bayonet or rifle grenades.[6]
- G3KA4A1: Variant of the G3KA4 with an ambidextrous trigger group and brass deflector. This is an official German Army designation, not an HK factory one.
Users
- Denmark
- Gv M/75 - Variant leased from the German Bundeswehr / German government by the Danish government to replace the aging M1 Garands. Originally manufactured by either Rheinmetall or HK for the German Bundeswehr. The Gv M/75 rifles are basically G3's with the old style straight cocking tube as opposed to the later FS (Freischwinger, "Cantilevered") variant. The Rheinmetall versions lack an external selector lever and can be converted from semi-automatic to full automatic (or vice versa) by the use of a special tool.
- Myanmar
- BA63 - (Burma Army) Licensed produced G3 by Myanmar stated owned KaPaSa factories in partnership with Fritz Werner Industry Ausrustungen-Gmbh (FRG) and the German Technical Cooperation Agency with licensing rights sold by 1960 with the first 10,000 G3s bought from West Germany (through Rheinmetall) before Burmese factories went operational due to fears that it could align with East Germany. It was the main battle rifle for Myanmar armed forces until they were replaced by MA series 5.56mm assault rifles in 1995. The BA63 is still in service with Myanmar Police Force, People's Militia and ethnic Border Guard Forces.
- BA64 - Typically known as the G4 in Myanmar armed forces, this is the heavy barreled light machine gun (LMG) version of standard G3A3 with bipod, carrying handle and full metal handguard with ventilation ports. Produced by KaPaSa factories in partnership with Fritz Werner Industry Ausrustungen-Gmbh (FRG). As standard, a pair of G4s were issued to every infantry squad in the Myanmar Army. It has now been phased out from in favour of the MA series light machine guns. The BA64 remained in service with Myanmar Police Force, People's Militia and ethnic Border Guard Forces.
- BA72 - Assault carbine version of G3A4/G3K with shorter barrel and wooden stock.
- BA100 - A copy of the G3A3ZF sniper rifle.
- Norway
- AG-3 - Norwegian G3A5 variant produced by Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk, with the given name Automatgevær 3. A total of 253,497 units were produced for the Norwegian Armed Forces from 1967 to 1974. The Norwegian AG-3 differs from the original G3; it has a buttstock that is approx. 2 cm longer, the bolt carrier has a serrated thumb groove to aid in silent bolt closure, it features an all-metal cocking handle and a different bayonet mount. On April 11, 2007, it was announced that the AG-3 would be replaced by the Heckler & Koch HK416, in all military branches except for certain groups of the Home Guard.
- AG-3F1 - An AG-3 with a retractable stock as on G3A4. Produced by Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk. A retractable stock was required by certain groups of soldiers within the Norwegian Armed Forces, primarily vehicle crews with limited space inside, particularly where a quick disembarkment from such a vehicle is required. All versions of the AG-3 have the ability to attach a 40 mm HK79 grenade launcher.
- AG-3F2 - An improvement of the AG-3F1, featuring B&T Picatinny rails on the receiver, as well as a RIS handguard. On the AG-3F2, Aimpoint red dot sights were mounted onto the receiver top rail for faster quick acquisition, and easier aiming in low-light conditions.
- Sweden
- Ak 4 - Swedish-made version of the G3A3, with a buttstock that is 2 cm longer, the bolt carrier has a serrated thumb groove to aid in silent bolt closure and fitted with a heavy buffer for higher number of rounds fired before failure. Extended 200–500 metres (219–547 yd) sight adjustments. The rifles were manufactured from 1965 to 1970 by both Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfabrik and Husqvarna Vapenfabrik and from 1970 until the end of production in 1985 – exclusively by Gevärsfabrik in Eskilstuna. All Ak 4's are adapted to mount the M203 grenade launcher. Sweden has supplied unmodified Ak 4's to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
- Ak 4OR - Optiskt Riktmedel, optical sight. This model is fitted with a Hensoldt 4×24 telescopic sight mounted via a HK claw mount. During a few years it was not issued but it is now again in use by the Hemvärnet - Nationella skyddsstyrkorna ("Swedish Home Guard").
- Ak 4B - In this updated version the iron sights have been removed and replaced with an Aimpoint CS red-dot reflex sight mounted on a Picatinny rail. The rail is welded onto the rifle. Used by Hemvärnet - Nationella skyddsstyrkorna ("Swedish Home Guard").
- Ak 4C - An updated version of the Ak 4B with an adjustable-length stock designed and manufactured by the Swedish company Spuhr i Dalby AB. Fielded in 2017 and used by Hemvärnet - Nationella skyddsstyrkorna ("Swedish Home Guard").
- Ak 4D - An updated version of the Ak 4B with the adjustable-length stock of the Ak 4C but with the addition of a modular handguard (also designed and manufactured by the Swedish company Spuhr i Dalby AB) and the Hensoldt 4×24 telescopic sight of the Ak 4OR in a Picatinny mount. The Ak 4D will be used by the Swedish Army as a stop-gap DMR.

Specialized G3 types
- G3TGS - This is simply a G3 with a 40 mm HK79 under-barrel grenade launcher. TGS stands for Tragbares Granat System (portable grenade system).
- G3A3ZF - This is a rifle issued with a STANAG claw-and rail scope bracket and a Hensoldt Fero Z24 4×24 telescopic sight to be mounted and zeroed by the user. The ZF stands for Zielfernrohr ("Telescopic Sight"). The Hensoldt Fero Z24 4×24 telescope sight for G3 rifle and claw mount assembly were developed for designated marksman use. The Fero Z24 elevation knob features Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC) settings for 100–600 metres (109–656 yd) in 100 metres (109 yd) increments. The G3A3ZF is otherwise a standard G3A3 that during factory test shooting printed a 5-shot group of 80 millimetres (3.1 in) (0.8 mil/2.75 MOA) diameter or less.
- G3SG/1 - A modified/accurized rifle for sharpshooter/sniper use. The "SG" stands for Scharfschützengewehr ("Sharpshooting Rifle"). The rifles were individually selected from the G3 production line for outstanding accuracy during test-firing and then modified. G3SG/1 rifles got a heavy, dual-stage buffer, fixed mounted, Zeiss Diavari-DA 1.5-6×36 power telescopic sight and STANAG claw mount assembly mounted. The standard trigger was exchanged for an adjustable set-trigger pack assembly with a 25 N (5.6 lbf) trigger pull and 12.5 N (2.8 lbf) in the set operation mode, the buttstock has a slightly adjustable auxiliary cheek riser, and the lengthened handguard has an integrated bipod. The Zeiss Diavari-DA 1.5-6×36 was windage adjustable and had an elevation knob featuring Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC) settings for 10–600 metres (11–656 yd). For the sub 100 metres (109 yd) ranges the BDC numbers are yellow. The BDC numbers for the longer ranges are white and in 100 metres (109 yd) increments. The automatic fire mode was retained but the set-trigger mode could only be used for semi-automatic firing.
- MSG3 - A variant featuring a 600 millimetres (23.6 in) long barrel, a newer telescopic sight mount that is found on only a few of the Heckler & Koch rifles, as compared to the more conventional claw mounts, though the claw mounting points remain on the receiver. This newer telescopic sight mount does not allow the use of the open sights with the mount in place, as is the case with the more conventional claw mount. The receiver is not strengthened. In addition to the G3SG/1 the buttstock has an auxiliary cheek riser and its length is adjustable and features the PSG1 semi-automatic only trigger pack. MSG stands for Militärisches Scharfschützen Gewehr ("Military Sniper Rifle").
- PSG1 - A free-floating 650 millimetres (25.6 in) long barrel semi-automatic only version of the G3 with a strengthened receiver with rails welded over the channels where a retractable buttstock would slide and numerous other upgrades and such to meet the necessities of police sniper units. This rifle is famous for its accuracy and comfort, but infamous for its price and inability to be deployed by military units because some upgrades made the rifle too fragile. PSG stands for Präzisionsscharfschützengewehr (Precision Sniper Rifle).
- MSG90 - A somewhat cheaper and lighter 600 millimetres (23.6 in) long barrel version of the PSG1 modified for military sniping applications. The MSG90 and PSG1 have different trigger packs.
- HK32 - An experimental variant of the rifle chambered for the Soviet 7.62×39mm M43 cartridge. It was never adopted by any country.
Law enforcement and civilian models
- HK41 - The HK41 is a semi-automatic version of the G3 that was marketed to law-enforcement and German reservist, where it was produced from 1966-1977. The first batch of rifles were just a semi auto G3 with the only differences being a semi auto trigger pack. In 1968 the Gun Control Act passed in the USA which required there to be a bigger difference between semi and full auto firearms. The late rifles imported after 1968 onwards had the shelf on the receiver and the sear trip milled out of the bolt, like you would see on later HK91 rifles imported. In 1973 German laws changed which made it nearly impossible for a reservist to own a semi auto rifle of this type, so HK ceased production of the HK41 in 1977. The rifle would later became the HK91. The HK41 changes included removal of the bayonet lug from the front sight tree, and a muzzle device that would not accept rifle grenades, and a different finish. Rifles pre-1975 were imported by SACO, as HK USA had not be founded yet, while all rifles from 75 onwards were imported by HK USA. It is estimated that 1350 HK41 were manufactured across its life time and 400 imported into the US.
- Fleming Arms HK51 - The HK51 has no real standards but is usually a cut down and modified G3 or its semi-automatic clones and is modified to take MP5 furniture and accessories. It is usually fitted with a collapsible stock. The first commercial version was by Bill Fleming of Fleming Arms and existed before HK made the HK53.
- HK91 - The HK91 is a semi-automatic version of the G3 similar to the HK41, also marketed to civilians. However, in order to comply with US firearm regulations a number of modifications to the HK91 were made that do not appear on the first pattern HK41. Internal parts that could allow fully automatic fire were removed. A shelf was welded onto the receiver where the push-pin of the trigger pack would normally go, to prevent installation of a fully automatic trigger pack. This did not allow the use of the paddle style magazine release and so the magazine release button on the right side of the magazine well must be used instead. It is otherwise identical to the G3 family of rifles. Importation into the United States began in 1974 and ceased in 1989, with some 48,000 rifles being imported.
- HK911 - The HK911 was an HK91A2 with the flash hider removed and the receiver re-stamped with an extra 1 to comply with the US importation ban of 1989. The new designation theoretically made it legally immune to the Import Ban, as no "HK911" rifles were mentioned on the list of banned guns. However, the later banning of several "paramilitary" features on the HK911 made it illegal.
- SR9 - These variants of the HK91ZF were created to comply with the Semi-Auto Import Ban of 1989, which included all variants of the HK91. They differed from the HK91 in that they had their flash hiders removed and featured a smooth forend that lacked the bipod attachment point. The SR9 series were banned from importation to the United States because they could accept standard-capacity magazines. The SR9 was an HK91A2ZF with the pistol grip and buttstock replaced with a one piece thumbhole stock.
- SR9 T - The Target, model was an HK91A2ZF with the trigger replaced with the PSG-1 model, the pistol grip replaced with an ergonomic PSG-1 grip and the buttstock replaced with an MSG90 model.
- SR9 TC - Target Competition, model was an HK91A2ZF with the trigger group, pistol grip and buttstock derived from the PSG-1.
Other manufacturers
- PTR 91 - Additionally, JLD, now PTR Industries, started manufacturing semi-automatic copies of the HK G3 called the PTR 91 in the United States. They used tooling from the FMP arms factory in Portugal to build the rifles.
- Century International Arms - Century Arms builds a clone of the G3 under the model designation of C308. These rifles are manufactured by PTR for CIA.
- NK33 G3 - Semi-automatic civilian clone of the G3. The rifle is made by the company Niedermeier in Germany specifically for the European civilian sports shooting market.
- SAR-3 - Semi-automatic copy of HK-91 made by EBO in Greece and imported into the United States by Springfield Armory.
- SAR-8 - Post-ban version of SAR-3, modified to comply with import restrictions.
- Federal Arms - Federal Arms made a G3 using parts kits and a cast aluminum receiver. These rifles are generally considered to be trash and should only be treated as a collectors item of what not to do or to strip the rifle and use it as a parts kit for building it on a proper receiver.

Maschinenpistole 5
- HK54 - 9x19 - The original model that was produced in 1964. The 54 designation is from the Heckler & Koch company's old system that indicates that it is a submachine gun/assault carbine (5) chambered for the 9×19mm cartridge (4). It had a charcoal-gray phosphated finish rather than the matte-black lacquered finish used on later models and had narrow slotted metal handguards. Its major differences were that it had a longer and heavier bolt carrier than the MP5 and a flip up ladder style rear sight, similar to early G3 rifles rather than the MP5's aperture sight. Its original 15- or 30-round steel magazines were straight rather than curved, had a plastic follower, and were reinforced with ribs.
- MP5 - 9x19 - A slightly modified version of the HK54 first created in 1966. A matte-black lacquered finish instead of the grayish phosphated finish was introduced for export models in 1977. It originally had the narrow checkered metal slim handguards in the place of the HK54's narrow slotted metal ones. These were later replaced by the thicker Tropical handguards in 1978. The proprietary Heckler & Koch "claw mount" rails for mounting optical and electronic scopes were added around 1973. The improved 15 and 30 round magazines were adopted in 1977. They were curved, were not ribbed, and had chromed-steel followers.
- MP5F - Model developed for the French military in 1999. Features a rubber padded retractable stock, ambi sling loops, has 16 flutes in the chamber vs 12 on the standard models, and a slightly changed bolt to allow the firearm to handle higher pressures.
- MP5K - Short (kurz) version created in 1976. It has a shortened 4.5 in (114 mm) barrel, shorter trigger group frame, and a vertical foregrip rather than a handguard. There are no A2 or A3 models because of the redesign of the receiver made it so MP5 and MP5 stocks do not fit. Choate designed a folding stock for the rifle. Later a model called the MP5K-PDW was created in 1991 which is a MP5K-N. It featured a Qual-A-Tec suppressor, and an ambi 4 position trigger pack. A shoulder cross draw or thigh quick draw holster was available.
- MP5SD - An MP5 model with an integrated suppressor (Schalldämpfer) created in 1974.
- MP5SD-N1 - A2, Navy configuration with a KAC stainless steel suppressor.

MP7
Maschinenpistole 7
- PDW - 4.6x39 - The first prototype was shown in 1999 and was designated as the 'PDW' (Personal Defense Weapon). It had a short Picatinny rail on the top and a smooth pistol grip surface.
- MP7 - 4.6x39 - In 2001 it was designated as the 'MP7' and went into production. Changes include a full length Picatinny rail, a thick curved stock and an anti-slide surface on the pistol grip much like the HK USP. It also features a folding iron sights mounted on the Picatinny rail and the button to fold the foregrip was made larger for easier operation.
- MP7A1 - 4.6x39 - In 2003 its designation was changed to 'MP7A1' and featured a redesigned pistol grip with a different surface and curved shape, a smaller stock with a straight buttpad, side mounted picatinny rails as standard and the folding iron sights were made more compact. The weapon was made slightly longer, but because the stock was shortened, the overall length did not change. The stock is also able to be locked into 3 positions. Recent MP7A1 models have a trigger safety similar to a Glock pistol; the middle section of the trigger must be pulled first before the outer part will move. This helps to stop accidental discharges if the trigger is bumped.
- MP7A2 - 4.6x39 - A variant without the folding front grip but features a Picatinny rail to mount various grips in line with the user's preference.
- MP7-SF - 4.6x39 - A semi-automatic only variant of the MP7 which is currently used by the Ministry of Defence Police in the United Kingdom.

UMP
Universale Maschinenpistole
- UMP - various - Designed in the mid 90s and going into production in 1999, the UMP was an attempt by H&K to replace the aging MP5 family of firearms. Its made largely of polymers and as a result is a lightweight system. It was originally designed in .45 ACP and .40 S&W, later being adopted in 9x19. The UMP can feature a Safe-Semi, Safe-Semi-Full Auto, or Safe-Semi-2rd burst-Full Auto trigger pack. It features a right hand folding stock and has a last round bolt hold open. Something the MP5 does not traditionally have. 1913 rails can be added on the top of the receiver for mounting optics and on the front and bottom of the handguards for mounting accessories like foregrips and lights. All the UMP models use the same receiver which makes going from one caliber to another just a barrel, bolt, and magazine swap. The .40 and 10mm mags are straight, while 9x19 mags have a curve to them. Several companies have made modifications to the rifles to chamber them in .357 Sig with a new manufactured barrel and modified .40 S&W magazines.
- UMP45 - .45 ACP - Chambered in .45 ACP.
- UMP40 - .40 S&W - Chambered in .40 S&W.
- UMP9 - 9x19 - Chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum.
- USC - .45 ACP - The USC or Universal Self-loading Carbine is a semi-automatic variant of the UMP for private citizens. It was designed following the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 in the United States and was introduced in 2000. Changes from the original UMP include a thumbhole type stock/grip instead of the pistol grip of the UMP, a longer barrel without the flash suppressor, a magazine limited to 10 rounds, and a semi-automatic-only trigger group and action. The magwell on the USC was also modified to only accept special single stack 10 round mags. Originally available in gray, in 2008 H&K started to manufacture then in black. Production of the USC was halted in 2013. In 2018 H&K announced a limited production run of new USC rifles, but these rifles have yet to hit the market as of 2020. Manufacturers such as Tom Bostic would cover the USC into a UMP if a UMP parts kit was provided.
