The Heckler & Koch G3 is a German battle rifle developed in the late 1950s by Heckler & Koch in collaboration with the Spanish CETME and chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. It uses a roller-delayed blowback operating system and is renowned for its robustness, reliability, accuracy and ease of maintenance under harsh conditions. The G3A3 version with grenade rifle adapter and polymer furniture is the most modern variant of this weapon, and the standard to which most rifles in German service have already been upgraded to. Widely adopted by numerous armed forces around the world, the G3's modular design allows for easy customization and adaptation to various combat scenarios. It is currently replacing older battle rifles such as the Gewehr 43, and even assault rifles such as the Sturmgewehr 45.

Automatic weapons are considered STABLE when they're mounted on a vehicle, tripod or turret. This is different from the Stabilised SA.
- Point Blank Range - No penalty.
- Close Range (≤10m / 2sq) -> -1
- Short Range (≤50m / 5sq) -> -2 (STABLE: -1)
- Average Range (≤200m / 10sq) -> -3 (STABLE: -1)
- Medium Range (≤500m / 20sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -1)
- Long Range (≤1000m / 50sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -3)
~ Beyond this point, automatic fire is unfeasible without a STABLE firing platform. ~ - Very Long Range (≤2000m) -> (STABLE: -3)
- Extreme Range (>2000m) -> (STABLE: -5)

Teutonic Discipline - German Small Arms (CW)
The Deutsches Heer of the mid-1960s is one of the most well-trained and experienced terrestrial fighting forces in the world. Some of this can be traced back to its Prussian traditions, some to Germany's near-permanent state of war since 1914, some to Berlin's imaginative staff officers, always trying to predict the next war and be ready for it. The German soldier serves in the same army as his father did, and the same as his grandfather did, but it is war that changes, and he is ready for it.
EFFECT:
This weapon's wielder gains a +2 DET bonus specifically when rolling against Dread-causing effects.
