Heckler & Koch

Episode 2 - Rifles

This is meant to be a fairly exhaustive list of Rifles and Squad Automatic-style weapons manufactured by Heckler & Koch. Some variants may be missing, and some stats may seem somewhat out of whack... but that's how it goes. If you have material to add to this list, please e-mail me. The stats for the HK33 and G41 were based on weapons from the first edition CyberPunk's Friday Night FireFight rulebook, and the rest of the non-fiction weapons were extrapolated from there. The fictional guns are verbatim from the 2nd Edition CyberPunk books and supplements they are drawn from, and the G12 is converted here from Shadowrun.

Real Guns (pre 2000)
 
HK33
HK33ERIF+2NC5.56N302/20ST400m

The HK33 is the 5.56mm caliber rifle that has anchored the NATO caliber line. The military edition (used in many NATO countries in the 20th Century) is named the G3 and chambered in 7.62N. Weighing in at 8.4 pounds, and over 3 feet in length, this style of weapon is rapidly becoming a thing of the past as the world looks for ways to lighten an infantryman's load. The HK33E is the export model, most often seen in North America, the European version being the HK33.

Shortening the HK33E to the "K" variant basically involves a shorter barrel and replacing the fixed stock with the collapsing stock style seen on the MP5 line. The "K" signifies "Short" from the German "Kurz". While the barrel is shorter, the forearm length is still the same, allowing for identical sight placement on the 33K as the 33E.

HK53

G41A3RIF+1/+2L/NP5.56N302/25ST400m

The G41 was designed to compete directly with the M16A2. This model used standard M-16 magazines (not interchangeable with the model 33 magazines) and had a fold-down carrying handle. The A2 variant uses a fixed stock, while the A3 variant has the standard HK telescoping stock.

The G36K is an export model with 1.5x optical sight, while the German military variant (the G36) has a 3x optical sight and electronic red dot sight. The MG36E has a heavy barrel (heat resistant barrel per the CP2020 rules), folding stock, folding bipod and can be equipped with the 100 round C-Mag.

The HK23E was designed as a squad automatic weapon, firing 5.56N ammo from the same disintegrating metallic link belts used by the M249 system. Weighing in at 19.18 pounds with the bipod, the weapon is over 40 inches long with a fixed stock.

HK13EHVY+1NP5.56N3020ST400m

HKG11RIF+2NR4.7CL4535ST400m

The first HK firing caseless ammunition was called the G11 and was chambered in the proprietary 4.73 x 33mm round. A version was made for US military tests as the HK ACR. The weapon was a unique first step towards caseless assault weapons.

G3KRIF+0/+1NC7.62N3020ST400m

The NATO battle rifle since World War 2, the G3 is an HK33 chambered in the 7.62 NATO round. A true "Battle Rifle", weighing in at just under 10 pounds and over 30 inches in length, the G3 has moved on as the world's militaries started looking for lighter weapons for the infantry. The K variant has a shorter barrel and forend as well as being equipped with the HK collapsable stock.

G3SG1RIF+2NP7.62N1020ST600m

One of the premier "sniper/marksman" tactical rifles of it's day, the SG1 featured a factory tested accurate barrel, set trigger, tennifer hardened receiver to add rigidity, light bipod, cheekrest and a claw mount with scope. Usually packaged in a green wooden case
