G3
Welcome to IOP Wiki. This website is maintained by the Girls' Frontline community and is free to edit by anyone.
The G3 is a 7.62×51mm NATO battle rifle developed in the 1956 by the German armament manufacturer Heckler & Koch GmbH (H&K) in collaboration with the Spanish state-owned design and development agency CETME (Centro de Estudios Técnicos de Materiales Especiales)[1].
G3 auto rifle, one of the early prototype weapon systems during the war. After the war, the designer went to many countries and eventually I have the chance to show myself. After exporting to many countries with many positive feed backs, I've also gained many different variants, something I can be proud of myself about...
Commander, you would accept me regardless of how I look? Very well...please let me stay at your side. I'll listen to your lessons and continue improving.
During Operation Trikora(Tri Komando Rakyat) at Western New Guinea Conflict, the Rheinmetall version of G3 was exported to Indonesia for Indonesian Air Force Paratroopers with retractable stock. However, the delivery was considered as violation of Grundgesetz(Basic Law in German) Constitution where German weapon manufacturer was restricted to export their weapons into conflict zones.
The G3 is the direct descendant of the STG-44 and its design(AK-47 is a bastard son), the first iteration of H&K's Roller-delayed blowback small arms(like the MP-5) and the first to harbor the H&K slap.
G3 was the FN FAL's competitor for the Battle Rifle trone during its time and considered by many the better rifle, but FAL remained supreme in the Commonwealth while the G3 was adopted by Germany, Norway, Sweden and by many minor countries.
The Portuguese highly regard the G3 ever since its adoption during the Portuguese Colonial War of the 60/70s known as the soldier's "girlfriend" during the war and as Colonel Carlos Matos Gomes recorded "the one with whom we slept or, in the barracks, was hung by the bandolier at the foot of the bed or at the head,"
In the EN Release of Girls' Frontline this gun's name was changed to Gr G3.
