G3

"An older but highly reliable firearm still widely used by soldiers around the world."

- The Arsenal

The Heckler & Koch G3 is an Assault Rifle (battle rifle in real life) introduced in the 05-26-10 patch.

Overview
This gun is light for an assault rifle, with decent accuracy.

That makes this AR the most potent mid-range gun in the game! (It should also do a good job in close quarters, with its high fire rate). In addition, this gun has low recoil, giving it even more potential. Tap firing is also very good on this gun, as the Accuracy is above average. Be warned however, that the gun becomes very ineffective without an Extended Magazine, seeing as it only has a base 20 magazine capacity. The G3's shortcomings can make it an Expensive gun to use, as you will need a scope and an Extended Magazine to make full use of it. Overall, the G3 is a very nice gun that is hindered by a Small Magazine capacity.
