## Trivia

* The Automatgevär 4 is based off of the Ak 4, also known as the G3. It was manufactured and adopted by the Swedish Army in 1968–present. It was replaced in 1986 as a standard rifle by the Ak 5.
	+ Attaching any scopes turns it into a psg-1 a heavily modified dmr variant of the g3.
* The AG4's Rear sight looks more like a rear sight for Russian AK style rifles or CEMLT prototypes, rather than something from Heckler and Koch.
* The player cocks the weapon by pulling the charging handle after inserting a new magazine. This weapon's charging handle is designed to work similarly to the HP5
* The AG4 has no visible Picatinny rail - Any attached scopes appear to sit on top of the gun.

## real life counterpart//history

The origin of the G3 can be traced back to the final years of World War II when Mauser engineers at the Light Weapon Development Group Oberndorf am Neckar designed the Maschinenkarabiner Gerät (Gerät 06, "machine carbine device 06") prototype assault rifle</a>chambered for the intermediate 7.92×33mm Kurz cartridge, first with the *Gerät* 06 model using a roller-locked short recoil mechanism originally adapted from the MG 42 machine gun but with a fixed barrel and conventional gas-actuated piston rod.

With careful attention to the mechanical ratios, the gas system could be omitted. The resultant weapon, Gerät 06H (the "H" suffix is an abbreviation for halbverriegelt. ("half-locked") was assigned the designation StG 45(M) Sturmgewehr 45(M) assault rifle 45) but was not produced in significant numbers and the war ended before the first production rifles were completed. The German technicians involved in developing the StG 45(M) were taken to work in France at Centre d'Etudes et d'Armement de Mulhouse</a> (CEAM). The StG 45(M) mechanism was modified by Ludwig Vorgrimler</a> and Theodor Löffler at the Mulhous facility between 1946 and 1949. Three versions were made, chambered in 30 Carbine</a>, 7.92×33 mm *Kurz*, and the experimental 7.65×35 mm French short cartridge developed by Cartoucherie de Valence in 1948. A 7.5×38 mm cartridge using a partial aluminum bullet was abandoned in 1947.

```
Löffler's design, designated *Carabine Mitrailleuse Modèle 1950</a>*, was retained for trials among 12 different prototypes designed by CEAM, MAC and <a MAS. Engaged in the!Indochina War</a>and being the second NATO contributor, France canceled the adoption of these new weapons for financial reasons. CETME A2b 7.92×40mm CETME M53 developmental prototype In 1950, Vorgrimler moved to Spain where he created the LV-50 rifle chambered for the Kurz cartridge and later, the proprietary 7.92×40mm CETME M53 round. At this point, the rifle was renamed the Modelo.

The Modelo 2 drew the attention of the West German Bundesgrenzschutz" Bundesgrenzschut (Border Guards), who sought to re-equip the newly formed national defense forces. Not willing to accept a cartridge outside of the NATO specification, the Germans asked CETME to develop a 7.62×51mm version of the rifle. The resulting CETME Mode was chambered for the 7.62×51mm CETME cartridge which was identical in chamber dimensions but had a reduced-power load compared to the 7.62×51mm NATO round. Further development of the rifle with input from H&K produced the CETME Model B which received several modifications, including the ability to fire from a closed bolt in both semi-automatic and automatic firing modes, a new perforated sheet metal handguard (the folding bipod had been the foregrip in previous models), improved ergonomics and a slightly longer barrel with a rifle grenade launcher guide.

In 1958, this rifle was accepted into service with the Spanish Army as the *Modelo 58*, using the 7.62×51mm CETME round.

In 1956, the Bundesgrenzschutz canceled their planned procurement of the CETME rifles, adopting the Belgian-made FN FAL as the *Gewehr* 1 (G1) instead. However, the newly formed West German Army (

*Bundeswehr*) now showed interest and soon purchased a number of CETME rifles (7.62×51mm NATO chambering) for further testing.

The CETME, known as the *Automatisches Gewehr* G3 according to German nomenclature, competed successfully against the Swiss SIG SG 51 (G2) and the American AR-10(G4) to replace the previously favored G1 rifle. In 1956 the *Bundeswehr* started extended troop trials with 400 CETME rifles. Heckler & Koch made a number of changes to the CETME rifles. In January 1959, the Bundeswehr officially adopted the technically improved CETME proposal. The West German government wanted the G3 rifle to be produced under license in Germany; purchase of the G1 had previously fallen through over FN's refusal to grant such a license. In the case of the G3, the Dutch firm Nederlandse Wapen en Munitiefabriek (NWM) held production and sales rights to the CETME design outside of Spain. To acquire production rights, the West German government offered NWM contracts to supply the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) with 20mm ammunition. Production of the G3 was then assigned to Rheinmetall and Heckler & Koch.

The latter company already had ties to CETME, and had worked to further optimize the CETME rifle for use with the full-power 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge (as opposed to the downgraded CETME variant). In 1969, Rheinmetall gave up production rights to the G3 in exchange for Heckler & Koch's promise not to bid onMG 3 machine gun production. Later in 1977, the West German government ceded ownership of G3 production and sales rights exclusively to Heckler & Koch. After obtaining these rights, Heckler & Koch initially had to pay the government 4 Deutsche Marks per rifle, despite having been awarded the contract by the German government.

Initial production G3 rifles differed substantially from more recent models; early rifles featured closed-type mechanical flip-up sights (with two apertures), a lightweight folding bipod, a stamped sheet steel handguard, a wooden buttstock (in fixed stock models) or a telescopic metal stock. Before delivery to the Bundeswehr, each G3 went through functional checks, zeroing the sight line (*Anschießen*) and a shooting test at the factory.

In the process, five shots were fired at a target at 100 metres (109 yd) with particularly accurate sighting-in ammunition. The 5-shot group could not exceed 120 mm (4.7 in) (1.2 <a mil</a>/4.13 MOA</a>) diameter. The weapon was modernized during its service life (among other minor modifications it received new sights, a different flash suppressor, and a synthetic handguard and shoulder stock), resulting in the most recent production models, the G3A3 (with a fixed polymer stock) and the G3A4 (telescoping metal stock). The rifle proved successful in the export market, being adopted by the armed forces of over 40 countries. Of that figure, 18 countries undertook domestic production of the G3 under license. Heckler & Koch G36</a>. Currently (2018) hundreds of thousands of G3A3A1, G3A4A1 and G3KA4A1 modernized variants rifles are maintained by Bundeswehr personnel and kept in reserve or are available in military base small arms storages.
