H&K G39

==Description ==
The Heckler & Koch G39 (Gewehr 39) is a 5.56×45mm assault rifle, designed in the late 2030s by German company Heckler & Koch as a replacement for the slower 5.56mm G37 assault rifle. It was accepted into service with the Bundeswehr in 2039, replacing the G37. Since then, it has also been a popular export, and the G39 has seen active service in military and police units in several countries, including Germany, Italy, and Spain. The G39 is gas-operated and feeds from a 30-round detachable box magazine or 100-round C-Mag drum magazine.
==History==
===Development===
Calls for a new weapon had arrived almost as quickly as the G37 was finished and was being distributed, as the firearm was seen as fallible and behind expectation, essentially being an insignificant failed upgrade of the G36. Drafting of the new weapon finally began early in 2037, retrieving old G36 blueprints mixed with statistics on both it and the G37. By the end of 2038, two prototypes were already developed and tried, refining the edges of the more functional firearm after being tested side-by-side the two predecessors. Production began in 2039.
===Production===
Production began as soon as possible by the Bundeswehr, with 50,000 rifles ordered to be completed by the first year in preparation for the possible upcoming war, a rapid delivery of these new firearms coming midway through 2039 to German Special Forces before the rest of the army began having them issued by 2040.
In 2041, it was announced that the G39 had been selected as the standard rifle for the Spanish Armed Forces, replacing the G36 rifles. These weapons were delivered and manufactured in Spain under license by General Dynamics Santa Bárbara Sistemas.
==Reliability==
The G39 is noted to be something of a great success, although complications like the G36 surface later into its lifetime. Although issues regarding the overheating had long been addressed by this point, a lot of the compacting developed an oversight on the ejection mechanism which, during full automatic fire, still has a slim chance of jamming, especially in dry or dusty areas.
==Design==
Basically just the G36 until I can actually draft this up more. The sketch that was made out can be seen having an extremely fat body, with a lot of compartmenting for cooling in the front, giving it something of an XM8 appearance. I am also debating if the gun should be stripped of that memorable handle or not lol.
===Parts of the Weapon===
You got da barrel and da trigger and everything else
==Variants==
=== G39C ===
Introduced in 2039, the G39C (C="Compact") is a compact variant and a further development of the G39. It has a shorter barrel than the G39 and birdcage type flash hider. The extremely short barrel forced designers to move the gas block closer to the muzzle end and reduce the length of the gas piston operating rod. The handguard and stock were also shortened.
=== MG39 ===
The MG39 (MG—Maschinengewehr "machine gun") is an automatic rifle variant of the G39 equipped with a heavier and longer barrel for increased thermal performance and cook-off resistance.
==Derivatives==
No guns have been built off of the G39 as of yet.

==Notes==
*Not really sure why I made the G39 but I thought I'd be cool and then realized the nightmare in making fake weapons
**Seriously it's been since 2019 and I haven't taken any time to actually draw this up
*(3/25/24) Hey uh, to the real world people, I just saw that the G39 became REAL on March 1st, so, don't confuse it for this lol this was made in 2019. While you're here though hi, nice to meet you; enjoy if you go anywhere else, otherwise, take care lol :P
==Appearances==
===Torn Earth===
The G39 vaguely appears a few times in the comics. It's not really big or anything, nor are guns in general.
===TE: 2042 (RP)===
The G39 flourishes for the first time truly in the 2042 roleplay, where soldiers actually had to make use of them, which gave them a good small understanding of their capabilities. Good times.
