I was a soldier in the German Army and the HK G3A3 and HK G3A4 were incredibly good weapons in 7.62mm caliber. Even though the magazine could only hold 20 rounds, the penetration power compared to the G36 was overwhelming. In my opinion, one of the best rifles that Heckler & Koch have produced.

​@@karlgreenkgv all started with the Stg 44. Then the Gerat 0H6, some french prototypes, and the CETME

I like the G3 for its comical development history. STG-44s couldn't be produced fast enough, and were still a bit expensive, so there was a trial for a new rifle. One group made a few prototypes based on the locking mechanism of the MG-42, but had to flee the oncoming soviets, and eventually the team set up a shop in Spain, and would produce the CETME Model 58 rifle based on their old development. Come the rearming of the Bundeswehr in the 50s, they want a new weapon, and ask FN for a license to produce the FAL. After invading Belgium twice, the answer was No. So instead Germany turned to Spain, and made a version of the Spanish battle rifle. So the G3 is a German rifle, based on a Spanish rifle, based on a German prototype, based on a German machinegun, because Belgium held a grudge.

We were just Gringos on a tour bus, and lo and behold, here was a large formation of armed Mexican soldiers on foot (The tour guide explained "they are looking for drugs" which had to be close to the truth, I guess). The Mexican soldiers, numbering at least a company (100-150 men), were an impressive sight as they walked with their G3 rifles, clearly not liking this duty much but doing it anyway like good soldiers do. And collectively these men gave off the unmistakable but formless vibe of casual power that all large groups of armed men inevitably do, which I could easily perceive from the windows of the tourist van.

In his book The G3 Battle Rifle by Leroy Thompson he describes how the US trials determined that the G3 had less malfunctions than the FAL and the M14. It could also be rebuilt on the original receiver more times than the FAL and M14 thus greatly expanding the service life of the rifle. On his website’s Battle Rifle page Larry Vickers states that the FAL is his favorite Cold War battle rifle, the M14 is the more accurate, but the G3 is the most robust of the lot.

The custom scope mount would be my biggest gripe with this rifle. Modern mountings using rails are just superior and simpler to use. It's a rifle that was designed for cheap mass production and it's conscripted operators using mainly the iron sights in a defensive cold war scenario, nukes flying and all... Still, it would probably hold up fine in a zombie apocalypse, if only because of the raw power of the 7,62×51mm NATO round. Yeah, there's better for both longer range and shorter today, but if I only had one rifle to choose for an all-rounder, I'd probably choose this one, or my Bren2 in 7,62x39mm WP.

The slap alone, makes this thing awesome. Add in the paddle mag release, the fact it is built like a tank and just runs runs runs, and is very accurate (see 9hole reviews).

When I joined the CAF back in the 80's we were using the FNC1/C2 (FAL) Loved that weapon! 7.62 x 51 NATO = hot knife through butter 😄

As a German who was a conscript in the Bundeswehr in 2004 we still had those. I honestly don't remember lots of the technical aspects. But it was great to shoot. It had a incredible kick so it was something you had to get use to. 100 or 200 meters target shooting with no optic was no problem. Ok my eyesight today is not that good anymore. However it was a nightmare to clean. I also shoot the G36 so I could comps those 2. If I could have a gun it would be the G3. It it and was a great gun. The only problems I remember with this gun was if you had a old magazine ( hope this is the right word) and it was bend it didn't feed the cartridge into the gun and it would jam the gun.

Literally after I trained with it for a bit i could reload very fast, m4 was still faster but not by that much. Its hardly a disadvantage.

@@sirdimitrios5454 Sir, I should have been clearer, when I referred to reloading, I meant the damage the G3 inflicts upon the spent brass. That said, the G3 IMO is a fantastic rifle, it's just the ergonomics. But it's like a Timex, it just keeps going and going.

I would love to see your take on the SIG SG 542, an often forgotten Cold War battle rifle that's effectively a Swiss made .308 AK with western controls (much like the 540/550 line in general)

@@BananaRama1312 SIG is Swiss and J.P. Sauer & Sohn is German. The German SIG is a partnership between both companies. The company producing the 540 rifles was the original SIG of Switzerland.

My father was a German soldier in Afghanistan (where he met my mother and moved to the US for her) and he was using the g36 in a firefight, they had wiped out most of the taliban in this building, and this one guy ran out the back crossing a field. He hit him 5 times with his rifle and the guy just kept running, he saw the pink mist and everything so he knew he hit. So his friend (Designated marksman) took a shot with his g3 and the guy just pancaked. No followups needed.

I served with the AG3 ( A for automatic ). Will always be my favorite! ❤

Be cool to mount a scope on that and run it as a DMR.

You can do it but it's awkward to do, and you are almost certain to scratch the parkerizing to do it. I bought such a mount since it is the same type that fits my GSG Sturmgewehr .22 rifle. And the mount hangs on for dear life to the stamped receiver, by clamping on to the rounded portion of the upper receiver with a kind of claw grip. It worked well enough for .22 LR but I can't imagine that precarious claw arrangement is going to hold up to the recoil of 7.62 for long before it just falls off the gun.

​@@robertmaybeth3434There are specially made scopes and sights for rifles that tend to dmg them. With the g3 its not awkward at all it was used as a dmr for many units even by the SAS you can find some pictures for that. You can also just attach a rail or change it to a modern railed one but thats more complicated

@@robertmaybeth3434 Yeah thats what i mean by dmr. G3 and other such battle rifles tend to really dmg other scopes so they usually have specialised scopes (and scope mounts) for them which are sturdier and made specifically for the weapon. The thing is if you get a specialized scope mount for the g3 and run you own preferred scope that you use for a similar weapon there is a chance ita going to kill it almost immediately. So i would suggest in case you get a g3 or other types of battle rifle get their specific scope mounts as for scopes there are sturdy scopes that will survive so its not necessary to get a specialized one for each weapon. But thats all i know to be honest i am not aware of a general scope mount that will hold on i only know what i learned from the military and a bit of my own research we are not allowed to own such weapons unfortunately in my country so i cant really tell you about a specific one I'd use since i haven't tested it. All we used in the military was usually specific scopes and we didn't really use scope mount apart from some old training rifles that were not updated again all with rifle specific mounts.

The M14, using it in Black Ops 1 got me into firearms

FAL for life

definitely the g3 for me. but i guess I'm a fanboy, i owned two factory psg1's and both were repeatably sub half minute guns so i developed a love affair for the hk system. but it's been my experience when comparing my 91 to my Belgian 50:00 the sights are better on the hk, it's more accurate, it's more modular and easier to update. spuhr and b&t make for more accessories for the g3 than fal

Shoulder: ouch ouch ouch ouch........

One word, German. Same goes for cars. Those crafty germans make some of the best machine parts on the planet.

I know the fal wasn’t lite, but the G3 felt like it was an elephant in comparison.

Looking good in that m65! Nice jacket sir...

Fal is called “the right arm of the free world” for a reason

Love my G3. I love the FAL, but mags being $4-$8 for the G3 (and all standard) as opposed to the $30-$40 mags for the FAL (and having two different types that aren’t interchangeable) puts the G3 over the top for me. It’s also easier to mount an optic or accessories on a G3 than an FAL since there’s a lot more of an aftermarket for them.

G3 -Just universal use of ease and reliability.

I like the g3 and the prototype g11 that thing was crazy

I'll be honest, when I was a kid, I loved the G3 because of the green Furniture. It just had this beautiful aesthetic. And I'm not ashamed to say that I used it when playing Rainbow Six Rogue Spear.

The M16 and its family are OBVIOUSLY the favorite rifle of the Cold War.

@@jantschierschky3461 The M16 was good enough to last from the 60's to the 80's. It was the chosen weapon of The MAIN Country Fighting the Cold War. I'm sure it was actually used in combat in the Cold war more than the others. And it is the ONLY one who survived the Cold war and continues on today in variants that see Frontline use. That is just on our side of the Cold war. The Ak on the other side was even more prolific. Before the Cold war ended most countries had seen the light and were moving away from the G3 and FAL anyways. The FAL was much better than the G3 which mainly benefited from the myth of superior German engineering and HK lobbying prowess. What rifle is HK known for now? An overpriced piston M16 variant, not a G3 variant.

@@sjhoff well when I served mid 80s, we had excercises with US marines. Those M16 were worn out and were crap till the A2 come along. In any shooting exercises we won hands down with our G3s even the gun I used was same vintage as me 1963 so older than any of the M16s. I never had a failure with life ammo even at -40 C. Well till Powell revamped the US military in 85 it was in a sorry state. The major issue with a G3 it's weight. Hk could not make a gun lighter than 3.8 kg with the roller delay. So it used a short stroke gas system. So the M16 after nearly 60 years of modifications has become an amazing system. But personal experiences as an 2 gun and Ipsc shooter. You give me a cold war weapon, I would take the G3 any time.
