Battle Rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO - Germany - 750 RPM - Part and parcel of the original "Project 50" specifications was the creation of a 7.62x51mm GPMG to replace the HK 21.  The 7.62x51mm G36 is an offshoot of this requirement, creating an affordable successor to the venerable G3.  The issue G36 has not one, but TWO, optical devices in the carrying handle.  One is a reflex sight for high speed, close range engagements, while the second is a 3.5x magnification scope for aimed, long-range fire. (c)D.E. Watters
