Battlefield 3[]
— Battlelog description
The G53 is a weapon introduced in the Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand expansion pack and is unlocked upon the completion of the Fixing It assignment.
It features full-automatic, three-round-burst, and semi-automatic firemodes, as well as a moderate rate of fire. Its damage is in-line with most of the other carbines, at 25 - 14.3, as is its magazine capacity, at 30+1 rounds per magazine. It has moderate reload times, but low overall recoil. This means it can reach out to medium distances, making it a versatile weapon. However, the player will struggle at long ranges, so it is advised not to use it at said ranges.
The G53 had previously been capable of being equipped with the 12x Ballistic Scope, but this functionality was removed in a patch after Back to Karkand was released.

Trivia[]
- The G53 in Battlefield 3 was called HK53 on the PlayStation 3 version until a patch changed the designation to G53, like the PC and Xbox 360 versions.
- In Scavenger, the G53 can be found with both a suppressor and a laser sight; this combination is not normally obtainable, as both share the same attachment slot.
- With Battlefield Premium, the Navy Blue Digital Camouflage and the Woodland Stripe Camouflage can be unlocked for the G53 by completing the G53 Specialist assignment.
