Configuration typically called "MG36;" actually just a standard G36 with a bipod handguard and C-Mag - 5.56x45mm NATO

The original G36 was adopted by the Bundeswehr in 1996 and remains their standard service rifle. The G36V, formerly known as the G36E, is the export version of the G36, and differs in that its carry handle lacks the dual optics found on the original G36 (although the dual-sight carry handle is available as an aftermarket accessory and can be fitted to a G36V).

The G36C also has a rail-top carry handle that lacks the optical sight(s) of the earlier G36 models, though G36/G36K carry handles will fit on the C model (and likewise, G36C carry handles can be fitted to the larger variants).

Heckler & Koch MG36

Heckler & Koch MG36 with Beta-C drum magazine, proprietary bipod, and ZF 3x4° dual sight system - 5.56x45mm

The MG36 was a variant produced in small numbers for trials with the Bundeswehr, fitted with a bipod handguard, 100-round C-Mag double-drum, and a heavyweight barrel for sustained fire. The trials led the Bundeswehr to conclude that the heavy barrel did not offer a substantial enough increase in performance to justify adoption and in 1995 rejected the MG36 in favour of using a regular G36 with bipod handguard and C-Mag as a squad-level support weapon. Only a few hundred MG36s were ever made.

It should be noted that the weapon's rejection occurred in the same year as MIL-STD-1913 was standardised, therefore it would be impossible for an MG36 to have ever been fitted with a C-type rail carrying handle; even in videogames, any such weapon should be identified as a regular G36.

Heckler & Koch SL8

Factory Heckler & Koch SL8-1 Target Match Rifle - 5.56x45mm /.223 Remington

Heckler & Koch SL8-1 Tactical Match Rifle - 5.56x45mm. This was the first aftermarket conversion of the SL8 rifle in the late 1990s with a custom "re-black" of the synthetic stock, custom cut for the ventilation holes in the forearm.

Heckler & Koch SL8 Tactical Sniper Rifle, Aftermarket "re-black" of the grey synthetic body of the SL8 and upgraded with G36 high capacity magazine well and G36 bipod - 5.56x45mm. However, most snipers use the 10 round magazines when they fire from the prone position.

Heckler & Koch SL8-6 Commercial rifle - 5.56x45mm. This is the newest version of the standard SL8. Now the rifles come in black, straight from the H&K Factory and have a semi-raised rail handle (a 'compromise rail' that takes elements of the SL8 and the G36C/G36K Scope mounting systems). Early models are marked "SL8-1" due to using the same moulds, later models are simply marked "SL8".

The Heckler & Koch SL8 rifle was the company's attempt at selling a commercial 'sportsman' rifle based on the military G36 design. They removed the 'offending' assault rifle type features to enable them to sell within Europe and the United States. What many see as an 'emasculated' G36 rifle, was the form of the weapon that was approved for import by the BATFE in the United States. Heckler & Koch has another variant of the SL8 rifle that has a shorter threaded barrel, designed for a Suppressor, called the SL9. Airsoft companies and Video Games routinely mis-identify or misname these rifles. The correct nomenclature designated for the real firearm is the one which should be used.

Specifications

(1998 - Present)
