The Heckler & Koch G36 is a 5.56×45mm assault rifle, designed in the early 1990s by Heckler & Koch (H&K) in Germany as a replacement for the heavier 7.62mm G3 battle rifle. It was accepted into service with the Bundeswehr in 1995, replacing the G3. The G36 is gas-operated and feeds from a 30-round translucent detachable box magazine or a 100-round C-Mag drum magazine.
Variants of the G36 include the G36E (Export), a full length export variant largely identical to the base G36, a shortened G36K (Kurz, "Short"), a further compacted G36C (Compact), and the light machine gun MG36. Further modernization of the G36 led to the designation of the G36A4 variant, equipped with a flat-top Picatinny rail, the removal of the fixed optic, a quad-rail handguard, and detachable iron sights.
The G36 and its variants appear in six games in the Battlefield series. The G36C appears in Battlefield 2, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline and Battlefield 2042. The G36E and G36K only appear in Battlefield 2. The G36A4 appears in Battlefield 6 as the B36A4.
