G3

<tabber>G3A3=
A design with a complicated development history that would eventually become a competitor for the role of the common battle rifle of the newly formed NATO, alongside the FN FAL and M14.
It proved to be a highly successful weapon that would come to be used in over 40 different countries, with 18 of them taking up domestic production. In the post-invasion world, the G3 and its copies and variants remain in use throughout Europe. The weapon is common in the Scandinavian and eastern regions, though Germany in particular deployed hundreds of thousands of G3s alongside the G36 during the Human-Vannai War that had been kept in storage and maintained by Germany army personnel since the 90s.
Despite the weapon's admirable service history and the large numbers of G3s in active use by what would become the core of the EuF military, production of the weapon was discontinued by the Federation upon its formation. This controversial decision has inadvertently seen the G3 become a weapon commonly associated with anti-Federal groups instead.

|-|G3SG/1=
Modified, accurized G3s individually selected from the production line for exhibiting outstanding accuracy during factory test firing. The G3SG/1 features a longer, heavier dual-stage recoil buffer, a 1.5-6×36 power telescopic sight on a STANAG claw mount and new trigger with half the pull weight of the original. These weapons are intended for sniper/sharpshooter use.

|-|G3KA4=
The United Kingdom's interest in a compact battle rifle arose from experiences in Northern Ireland in the 1980s. The SAS, having to deal with armed IRA men in vehicles, wanted a compact automatic weapon chambered in 7.62mm NATO, and for a time following the Falklands War took to using captured Argentinian Paratrooper FALs when operating out of vehicles themselves. G3 rifles were eventually procured from Germany in similar carbine configuration, replacing the fixed stock with a collapsible sliding stock similar to the MP5A3/MP5A5, and a shorter 12.4 inch barrel, which made it incompatible with bayonets or rifle grenades. It was used by the SAS and UKSF under the designation L100A1. The UK would experiment with an even further compacted G3 design, the MC51, but the weapon would prove to be unreliable and nearly uncontrollable. The United Kingdom would continue to use the G3KA4 until eventually replacing it with the L129A1 in 2009. 
In 2020, small numbers of G3s stored in Germany that were destined for destruction were withdrawn and modified to G3KA4 configuration for SOE use as an acceptable alternative 7.62mm weapon to the EM-3.
