G36K

The ^🌐G36 (German: Gewehr 36) is a 5.56×45mm assault rifle, designed in the early 1990s by Heckler & Koch in Germany as a replacement for the heavier 7.62mm G3 battle rifle. It was accepted into service with the Bundeswehr in 1997, replacing the G3.

The G36K (K—kurz "short") is a carbine variant with a shorter barrel and a shorter fore-end, which includes a bottom rail that can be used to attach tactical accessories. The weapon retained the ability to be used with the AG36 grenade launcher.

The G36K is a carbine featured in Insurgency: Sandstorm.

The G36K is a carbine featured in Insurgency: Sandstorm. It is only available to the Riflemen sub-class, meaning that Advisors, Breachers, and Gunners cannot use this weapon. In faction limited game modes, this weapon is also only available to Security. It performs very closely to its cousin, the M4A1, with near identical stats. The G36K is a great and versatile implement that suits a variety of playstyles and tactics on the battlefield.

The versatility of the G36K is one of its main selling points. A jack-of-all-trades, there is little this carbine cannot handle. Fed from the streamlined 5.56x45mm cartridge, the G36K is able to kill opponents quite easily, only requiring 1-2 bullets to kill, even through light vests. While heavy vests may protect its wearer for one more bullet, they will still die extremely quickly, as the 741 RPM of the G36K is on par with the M4A1 family of carbines, meaning that opponents will go down quite quickly. The G36K also features a 2-round burst feature, making longer ranged encounters a lot more manageable. Pairing this with the extremely high muzzle velocity of 850 m/s means that landing precise long range shots is extremely easy. Recoil is minimal, with the gun mainly kicking vertically.

Because the G36K is so average, attachments only bolster what the gun already excels at. This piece also comes quite cheaply, at 3 credits. This allows a lot of attachments and extra gear, such as grenades or carriers to be used in a loadout.

1x-1.5x Optics are cheap, and can be run on the weapon, but its iron sights are really clean. The G36K can equip its own custom 1.5-1x CH scope, which comes with a custom iron sight built onto a custom 1.5x scope. 2x Optics offer a bit more versatility with the ability to fine-tune aim at medium-range. Longer range scopes, like the 4x M150 or the 4x SU-230 are great for long-range visibility, as well as the custom 3x-1x CH sight BUS, using a very solid 3x scope with a 1x red dot sight mounted on top.

Grips are a matter of preference, whether you want to decrease the already minimal recoil with a Recoil Grip or improve its close quarters performance with an Aiming or Quick Draw grip. A Loading Grip may also be handy when using the Extended Magazines. These magazines are the only upgrade to the capacity, and they only increase it by 5 rounds.

Altogether, the G36K is a carbine that can handle a lot of different situations of the battlefield.
