The G36A is a selective-fire assault rifle with a short-stroke piston chambered to fire the 5.56×45 mm NATO round. This is an asset which partially requires the Operation Arrowhead expansion pack. Thanks to its integrated sight, the G36 can be used to engage enemy targets out to an effective range of up to 600 metres. Though it lacks the modularity of the M4A1 carbine and M16A4, the G36 compensates by having the least amount of dispersion out of the four BLUFOR/Independent primary weapons. As a selective-fire weapon, it can toggle either semi-auto, 3-round burst or fully automatic fire modes.
The G36 continues to retain a muzzle velocity of 920 m/s and can attain a fire rate of up to 600 RPM.Ĭompared to the outdated M16A2 rifle, the G36 is far superior not just in terms of accuracy but due to the fact that it has an integrated optical sight. It still loads exclusively from 30-round plastic magazines and does not accept being fed from 5.56 mm STANAG magazines. Returning from Cold War Assault, the G36 once again serves as a (relatively) high-tech counterpart to the other standard-issue assault rifles in Armed Assault. Army and RACS military forces, as well as in limited numbers with Black Element PMCs in ArmA: Armed Assault.
It was only added with Patch 1.30, and even then was only available for use in the editor as no faction actually uses the weapon in either the main or Resistance campaigns.
It takes up to one inventory slot per magazine to carry: The G36 only supports being fed from one "magazine". The G36 does however, lack the ability to launch rifle grenades or have a dedicated variant with an underbarrel grenade launcher which slightly limits its flexibility. With low recoil as well as decent range it has very little drawbacks as a result, which makes it the superior weapon of choice over its American and Soviet-made counterparts. It has an effective range of between 300 and up to 500 metres.Įssentially the German counterpart to the Austrian-made AUG A1, the G36 combines the firepower of a rifle with the ability to partially zoom in on distant targets thanks to its integrated optical sight (the sight itself has magnification strength of 1.5x). It loads from 30-round plastic magazines, and can attain a fire rate of between 600 and up to ~ 857 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 920 m/s. The G36 is a selective fire assault rifle that is chambered to fire the 5.56×45 mm NATO round. The G36 is a 5.56 mm assault rifle that remains unused by any faction in ArmA: Cold War Assault.
