The G3 is a West German 7.62×51mm NATO [b][[battle rifle]][/b] developed by [[Heckler & Koch]] in the 1950s, based on the earlier Spanish [[CETME Model 58]]. It became the standard [[Bundeswehr]] service [[rifle]] from 1959 until early 1990s. Utilizing roller-delayed blowback mechanism, and having major variants available with fixed buttstock or retractable metal one, its design also became the basis of other H&K [[weapon]]s such as the [[h&k MP5|MP5]] [[submachine gun]].
