Germany's G95 Replaces G36 After Three Decades Of Service

The G95 is manufactured by Heckler & Koch and it is a Bundeswehr-specific variant of the HK416, meaning it is built on the AR-15 pattern that is widely used across NATO, a design lineage shared with the G27 and G28, which are based on the AR-10 pattern. It’s pretty obvious that this sha...
