Heckler und Koch HK G28 sniper rifle in standard version

Heckler und Koch HK G28 sniper rifle in Patrol light version

The Heckler und Koch HK G28 sniper rifle was designed and manufactured by order of the Bundeswehr by the German company Heckler-Koch. This weapon appeared as a result of the requirements of the German troops fighting in Afghanistan. This rifle performs the function of supporting small infantry units. The HK G28 sniper rifle was developed on the basis of the HK MR308 sports and hunting self-loading rifle, which in turn is a civilian version of the HK417 automatic rifle. The Heckler und Koch HK G28 sniper rifle in its concept is an analogue of the Soviet Dragunov SVD sniper rifle.

The automation of the Heckler und Koch HK G28 sniper rifle works using gas-operated automatics with a short stroke of the gas piston and a rotary bolt. Reliable operation of the weapon, both in conventional and with the use of a muffler, is ensured by a two-position gas regulator. The trigger mechanism allows you to shoot only single shots. The barrel is cantilevered inside the forearm. The receiver of the rifle consists of two halves. The top is made of steel, and the bottom is made of aluminum alloy. Cartridges are fed from detachable box magazines with a capacity of 10 or 20 rounds.

The Heckler-Koch HK G28 rifle enables infantry to conduct effective fire at distances of the order of 400 meters and beyond that are inaccessible to standard 5.56-mm assault rifles. Especially if the use of more powerful support weapons such as machine guns, mortars, artillery is not possible for any reason or is not available. For the Heckler-Koch HK G28 sniper rifle, the accuracy of groups of 10 firing shots is guaranteed by the manufacturer to be at least 1.5 MOA (minute of arc). When conducting aimed shooting at a chest target, the effective range is up to 600 meters, and when shooting at a growth target - up to 800 meters.

The Heckler und Koch HK G28 sniper rifle can be used in two versions, which can be changed at the army base. This is the standard variant and the lighter Patrol. The standard version of the HK G28 rifle has an extended handguard, a folding bipod, a telescopic adjustable stock with a cheek, as well as a Schmidt & Bender RMP 3-20x50 optical sight, plus a laser rangefinder mounted on it. The Patrol variant is used in foot raids. In it, the rifle is equipped with a shortened and lightweight forend, a lightweight adjustable buttstock without a cheek and a Schmidt & Bender RMP 1-8x24 sight. In addition, various night sights and laser designators can be installed on the Heckler und Koch HK G28 sniper rifle.

The US Department of Defense was dissatisfied with the American M110 sniper rifles and is purchasing a new batch of "long-range" weapons - this time German-made. The guns.com portal announced the signing of a contract between the US military department and Heckler & Koch for the supply of compact semi-automatic sniper systems (Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System, CSASS). The contract does not specify which rifles will be supplied to the American armed forces, however, it is known that only one model of weapons manufactured by Heckler & Koch, the G28 rifle, meets the requirements of the US Department of Defense.

According to the contract, the first "trial" delivery will consist of 30 rifles and a set of accessories for them. During testing, representatives of the US Department of Defense will determine the optimal configuration and a set of additional options for the new weapon. In the future, 3,643 rifles worth $44.5 million (about $12,000 per unit) will be purchased for the American army. The amount of the contract includes the supply of additional accessories (to be selected during testing) and replacement parts, warranty service, as well as basic training for soldiers to work with the new weapon system.

M110 rifles manufactured by Knight's Armament Company entered mass production in 2005, and the US Army in 2008. The US Department of Defense purchased 4492 rifles that were actively used by US Army units in Afghanistan and Iraq. Soldiers who used the M110 in combat conditions, complained about the low accuracy, unreliability and fragility of the M110 (after 500 shots, the accuracy of fire decreased sharply).Therefore, in 2014, the US Department of Defense announced a new tender for the purchase of compact semi-automatic sniper rifles of caliber .308 Win (7.62 × 51 NATO), which can be effectively used for shooting from distances up to 1000 m, and will also be lighter and more compact than the M110.

Sniper rifles

The official version says that Heckler Koch owes its birth to ... the French army, which defeated the Mauser arms factory in the town of Oberndorf am Neckar in 1945. Three talented weapons engineers Edmund Heckler, Theodor Koch and Alex Sidel, upset by this fact, “rescued what they could from the wreckage and laid the foundation for a new weapons company ...” Probably, the French wrote the official history, so that at least in some side, but get closer to the success of the most prolific enterprise of our time, producing small arms.

However, despite the fact that the Heckler und Koch company (hmm ... probably, “und” was the nickname of Mr. A. Seidel) was registered already in 1949, it initially produced peaceful products. Messrs. Heckler und Koch returned to the development and production of small arms only in 1956, when the newly created army of the FRG needed to arm itself. Using the past, still Mauser times, developments, the company very quickly issues an automatic rifle Heckler Koch G3 with a semi-free shutter. The weapon turned out to be extremely successful - it stood in service with the Bundeswehr for almost 40 years.

An even more successful example was the Heckler Koch MP5 submachine gun developed on the basis of the G3. The semi-free shutter used in it, in combination with the 9x19 cartridge and firing from the front sear (closed shutter), provided the new PP with very good accuracy at a high rate of fire. Compact, lightweight, convenient MP5 is adopted by the police, border guards and counter-terrorism units of Germany. PP is produced in a large number of modifications, incl. in the version with the clumsy stock of the Heckler Koch MP5 K PDW, and is still in service not only with the police and special forces of more than forty countries of the world, but also with a large army of airsoft players. Pneumatic MP5s are manufactured by UMAREX under the Umarex Heckler Koch brand. Buy Heckler Koch weapons in the online store "Hunter">

In the 60s, the company begins a truly revolutionary project - the development of a promising caseless rifle complex Heckler Koch G11. It is both a new rifle and a completely new cartridge in which the bullet is placed directly into a solid, completely combustible propellant charge. What for? And in order to win in the weight of the sleeve and increase the ammunition carried by the fighter five times compared to the 7.62x51 cartridge, and twice as compared to 5.56x45. A huge number of radical innovative developments were used in the rifle itself - the bullpup scheme, the location of the cartridges in the magazine perpendicular to the axis of the bore, the breech chamber rotating by 90 degrees, where the next cartridge was fed before the shot ... The rifle could fire in series of 3 shots in the mode recoil accumulation - the movable barrel-box-store-usm system came to the rear position only after the third bullet left the bore, which ensured the accuracy of fire unattainable for other machine guns and submachine guns. But ... caseless ammunition itself gave rise to a considerable number of qualitatively new problems. As a result, after military tests of a batch of 1000 rifles, the G11 program was curtailed, the company itself changed owners, and Heckler Koch G36 automatic rifles began to replace the G3 in the Bundeswehr.

In its new automatic rifle chambered for a low-impulse cartridge, the company has moved away from the proprietary scheme with a semi-free shutter, the G36 has a gas-operated automation system with the shutter locking by turning on 7 lugs. Today, this rifle is in service with more than forty countries around the world, and is available in various modifications, including the Heckler Koch SL8 sports and hunting version. It must be said here that all the main products of H&K are for military purposes, but some samples, nevertheless, are quite successfully used in sports shooting and as hunting semi-automatic carbines. The latter include Heckler Koch MR308 and Heckler Koch MR223 - "civilian" versions of the Heckler Koch 416 assault rifle, also sold in Russia. The semi-automatic MR carbines differ from their "big sister" only in the absence of an automatic fire mode, and regular army sights.

The “purely hunting” model is the Heckler Koch SLB 2000 semi-automatic carbine. It is designed from scratch and is not a clone of any military model. The gas vent mechanism in it is located under the barrel, and the Heckler Koch SLB 2000 carbine itself is made according to a modular scheme and is available in various calibers. This weapon appeared in Russia relatively recently, there is little information on it. One of the clear advantages of the SLB over other semi-automatic carbines is the ability to equip with a 10-place double-row magazine, which in itself is a rarity for hunting carbines.

Weapons Heckler Koch is not limited to machine guns only - the company also successfully produces machine guns and, more interestingly, pistols. One of the most famous models was the Heckler Koch P30, put into production in 2006. Today, this pistol is considered by many to be one of the best combat pistols in the world. It is available in two calibers - 9x19 and .40 S&W, and its main "highlight" in addition to a large number of light polymer parts are interchangeable grip pads that allow you to fit the P30 to the arm of any shooter. Due to its low muzzle rise, low recoil and safety to carry, the P30 pistol is very popular not only with law enforcement units, but also among IPSC athletes, incl. Russian. The pneumatic version of the Umarex Heckler Koch P30 is also in high demand due to its "omnivorous" nature - it works reliably with both balls and lead bullets.

But this is not all. The prolific company Heckler Koch produces not only firearms, but also edged weapons. And not just any, but including one of the best "tactical" knives of our time Heckler Koch 14205: very comfortable both in hand and when worn, with excellent balance and blade shape, this knife was developed with the direct participation of the famous knifemaker Alex Sidel . In general, no matter what direction Heckler Koch works in, it always tries to attract the best specialists and use the best practices from existing ones.

Heckler&Koch

Fighters! The "Great Gunsmiths" section continues to tell you about the famous designers of firearms. Today our guest is the legendary German company "Heckler&Koch", the fame of which has spread all over the world.

Marauders

"H&K" is a relatively young company founded on December 28, 1949 by German engineers Edmund Heckler, Theodor Koch and Alex Sidel in Oberndorf am Neckar. Prior to this, all three designers worked at the Mauser plant, where they gained extensive experience in weapons business. The very enterprise of Peter Paul and Wilhelm Mauser was destroyed by the end of World War II by French troops, so the engineers based their production on equipment that was saved from destruction.

First legend

The first years of activity of Heckler & Koch are notable for the fact that the company was engaged in the production of small household appliances, sewing machines, measuring and engineering equipment. But everything changed in 1956, when the Bundeswehr army (German armed forces) needed a new weapon, and a government tender was announced by the leadership to replace the Belgian FN FAL. As you might guess, the H&K company won it, offering everyone the well-known G3 assault rifle, which, in turn, was created on the basis of the Spanish CETME rifle. The weapon had a low cost due to the fact that stamping was used during production, and when designing, H&K engineers took the developments of the Mauser company as the basis.

Having entered service with 47 countries, the G3 became a real hit of its time. And this is not surprising - Heckler and Sidel studied gunsmithing with the Mauser brothers, and Theodor Koch studied precision mechanics at one time, so the success of the rifle was guaranteed. The design turned out to be so successful that the weapon was produced until 2001, despite the fact that back in 1995 the Bundeswehr switched to the new HK G36 assault rifle.

Derivatives

Based on the HK G3, ​​the G3SG1, PSG-1 and MSG90 sniper rifles were created, which were used by both civilians and the military. Also worth mentioning is the HK21 machine gun and the legendary MP5 submachine gun, released by the company in 1966, as a reduced copy of the HK G3 chambered for 9x19 mm Parabellum. The German special forces unit GSG 9 liked the new machine gun, thanks to which the MP5 gradually gained popularity among other special services around the world. Currently, there are more than 10 varieties of submachine guns that can be quickly adjusted and modified, depending on the combat mission. Interesting is the fact that the MP5 is not in service with the Bundeswehr, which uses Israeli ultrasound.

Hi-tech

In the late 60s, Heckler & Koch began to create a fundamentally new G11 rifle. The weapon was designed according to the "bull-pup" scheme and used a caseless cartridge as a charge. However, the tense situation within the country, NATO international standards for the unification of ammunition and the lack of government orders for the finished G11 caused the closure of the project and large financial losses for the company. You can read more about this in our dedicated article on the HK G11 rifle:

Ups and downs

The Royal Ordnance concern was able to save H&K from bankruptcy, which in 1991 acquired the company, and by 2000 entrusted it with the modernization of new L85A1 assault rifles. From 1994 to 1995, Heckler & Koch has been working on a government order for the creation and production of an assault rifle for the Bundeswehr, according to updated requirements. As a result, German engineers developed Project HK50, later designated HK G36. The rifle turned out to be extremely successful due to the use of durable polymers in its body, as well as the design features of the automation inherent in most of the company's creations. By 2002, largely due to the adoption of the G36 and, as a result, orders for the supply of rifles, the company was bought out by the HK Beteiligungs-GmbH holding.

The commercial success of "Heckler & Koch" was also facilitated by the creation of a line of pistols and submachine guns, which later became the "calling card" of the company:

heavy weaponry

In addition to firearms, Heckler & Koch developed several grenade launchers, which were appreciated by the military of many countries. So, the well-known M320, created as an alternative to the M203 underbarrel grenade launcher, can also be used as a separate weapon. At the same time, the H&K launcher has a built-in night vision device, a laser rangefinder, and a number of other design features that distinguish the M320 from its competitors.

The most interesting in the line of heavy weapons of the company is the KhM-25 self-loading hand grenade launcher. So far, the weapon is undergoing military tests, including in real combat conditions - several samples were used by American soldiers in Afghanistan, who noted the good combat effectiveness of the grenade launcher. However, the XM-25 weapon is not cheap - the first hand-assembled copies cost about 35 thousand dollars, and reducing the price to 25 thousand, if mass production is organized, will not solve the problem of high cost, so there is no need to talk about the widespread use of a grenade launcher in the army.

new era

The latest most famous and successful developments of Heckler & Koch are: the XM8 small arms complex, as well as the HK416 and HK417 assault rifles, which were developed at the same time.

Interestingly, the XM8 gained wide popularity only as an assault rifle, while the series includes a submachine gun, a sniper rifle, and even a machine gun. It is known that the shooting complex, designed on the basis of the HK G36, is the fruit of cooperation between the German H&K and the American ATK (Alliant Techsystems). In 2004, the rifle was successfully tested and by 2005 was supposed to enter service with the US Army, but the commercial war of competitors who wanted to get a state tender for the supply of weapons forced the command of the Armed Forces to announce an additional competition, which was soon stopped for several reasons. As a result of this process, a promising and generally good project was closed, thereby becoming a victim of military intrigues and unfair competition. At the moment, the fate of the rifle complex is unknown.

In parallel with XM8, Heckler & Koch developed the NK416, an assault rifle more familiar to US law enforcement officers, chambered for 5.56x45 NATO caliber. Some design features, design and ergonomics of the American models M4 and M16 were taken as the basis, which was reflected in the name of the new weapon. Largely due to this decision, the company managed to conclude a contract for the supply of its product to the US Army - during the destruction of Osama bin Laden, the Navy SEALs used NK416.

However, the new rifle is a clone of the eminent American guns only outwardly - German engineers have worked hard on the internal mechanisms of the weapon, using their best technical solutions and developments. The result justified itself - the NK416 barrel alone can withstand more than 20 thousand shots. The rifle entered service by 2005, and in 2007 the NK417 saw the light, using a more powerful cartridge - 7.62x51 NATO. Thus, H&K was able to recover from the failure associated with the XM8. Moreover, the company pressed its competitors - the Belgian Fabrique Nationale, which launched a wide supply of its latest FN SCAR assault rifle to the US Army.

Modern realities

During its short history, Heckler & Koch has made a name for itself by releasing many types of weapons, each of which has become a legend. However, the reputation of the company from time to time spoil all sorts of scandals. For example, in 2011, information was made public that HK G36 KV assault rifles were found in possession of Libyan rebels who captured Tripoli and the residence of Muammar Gaddafi, who took them from the palace guards. It was alleged that H&K sold its assault rifles to the leader's fighters, thereby violating German law that prohibits the export of weapons to countries where hostilities are taking place.

« Heckler& Koch" andCombatArms

Combat Arms has a lot of Heckler & Koch weapons:

In this review, we will look at one of the best assault rifles in the world, a favorite of mercenaries and special forces around the world - Heckler-Koch G36. Perhaps this is one of the most unusual rifles that I had to shoot. The first impression that this weapon makes is its external fragility and lightness, that most of the elements are made of plastic, you can immediately see it, and the plastic is very similar to the one from which toys are made, but only externally.

Clear edges, an interesting, one might even say unusual design, soft and pleasant to the touch polymer of the receiver and stock, everything looks very harmonious and a little futuristic. However, when you take the Heckler-Koch G36 in your hands, you understand that the polymer from which it is made is very heavy, since the weight is quite large (3.6 kg without cartridges) for a rifle mostly made of plastic. For example, AK-74 with more metal in the design weighs only 3.2 kg.

As they explained to me, it's all about the stiffeners that are along the entire length of the receiver and butt. This makes the design even more resistant to damage and deformation than the AK-74. The gaps throughout the rifle are minimal, there is no pitching of the butt and forearm, and this despite the age of ten and almost daily use. The Germans, as always, are on top.

The pistol grip is very comfortable., slightly narrows towards the top, which allows you to hold it tighter even in wet hands, and a small protrusion at the base prevents the little finger from jumping off. The fuse is double-sided, three-position with a very soft stroke and a clear information content of switching on. At the same time, it practically does not make any sounds, which the arrow does not unmask in silence. It is located under the thumb of the shooter, this allows you to bring the machine into a combat state without removing your hand from the handle. The cocking handle is located in the upper front of the bolt carrier, which protrudes above the receiver.

The handle itself can be rotated 90 degrees to the right or left, or is straight (in the stowed position, which avoids self-cocking). It is most convenient to turn the handle to the left. This is what professional fighters do, because it is easier to remove the left hand from the forearm, while the right hand is on the pistol grip, and you are always ready to open fire. The magazine latch is plastic, small in size and tight, if the hand is in a thick glove, then skill is required to disconnect the magazine. The only plus is that the edges are rounded and do not cut fingers when pressed.

Myself the store is made of transparent plastic, according to experts, it is more convenient to control the amount of ammunition. Stores are also equipped with latches that allow them to be connected in pairs of two or more pieces. The disadvantage of such stores is thin plastic and, as a result, their fragility in severe frost. Cracks are formed from impacts or whole pieces are broken out, and the magazines themselves are deformed, which leads to the skew of the cartridge during feeding into the chamber.

During development, the task was to unify the rifle under the NATO standard, as a result of which you can use any standard magazine chambered for 5.56 × 45 mm. It is quite common to find fighters with aluminum magazines, as they are more durable and not prone to deformation. A Beta-C disc twin for a machine gun is also suitable. It is quite reliable, but heavy. It is with her that it is most convenient to shoot while standing from the G36 in bursts.

The forearm is massive, but very comfortable in size and shape, made of rough polymer. Of the minuses, one can note the strong heating of the forearm during intense shooting (there is no reflector screen like in the AK-74) and the absence of Picatinnyrail guides. Although there are standard factory bipod rails, an AG36 underbarrel grenade launcher and a tactical handle.

A little later, the G36KV3 model, so beloved by American fighters, will appear. It is equipped with an optional handguard, shorter barrel, telescopic buttstock and folding open sights. It is this version of the rifle that I consider the best of all.

Frame stock with soft butt pad, folds to the right side. The release button is located on the left, and is a little inconvenient due to its “recessed” placement, and the dressing pack completely refuses to fit into the butt slot.

A separate point is to consider sights. All standard G-36 rifles are equipped with two iron sights and include both optical and red dot sights.

The Hensoldt HKV optical sight has a 3.5x magnification. Correction scale and rangefinder grid, marked up to 800 m.

Quite a tolerable parody of a normal sight, besides, it is protected by a handle for carrying a rifle and there is little chance of damaging it. However, with frequent blows to the rifle, it gets knocked down and it has to be constantly brought to an accurate battle, besides, in the rain it slightly, but fogs up, which worsens aiming at distances further than 200 meters.

The Zeiss red dot red dot sight is equipped with a light accumulating system.. This allows him to work in daylight without the use of power sources, however, when it enters the premises, the dot goes out and you need to be distracted by turning on the sight. Battery-powered forced illumination is used for night-time operation. The collimator sight is mounted on the top of the optical sight and is used for shooting at a distance of up to 200 meters.

It is very inconvenient to use the collimator, the viewing angle of this sight is quite small, and this does not allow you to properly control the surrounding space in battle. For export models, even such a sight was not available, and the standard Hensoldt HKV was replaced with a 1.5x sight.

Open sights in the form of a rear sight and a front sight in some models have been replaced with a longitudinal slot in the aiming bar, for me personally this is an unacceptable mistake, especially for an assault rifle. Two years later, this reflex sight will be abandoned, replacing it with a NATO-standard Picatinny rail located on top of the carrying handle. And a year later, the handle with integrated optics will be replaced by a “high” Picatinny rail located above the receiver.

Flash suppressor on a medium efficiency rifle and is only worth it to protect the cut of the trunk. Instead, PBS can be installed. The bayonet-knife is almost a 100% copy of ours for the AK-74, however, the quality of plastic and metal is many times better and it has a sharpening.

The Heckler-Koch G-36 rifle has automation similar to the American AR-18 rifles based on a gas engine with a short stroke gas piston. The barrel is locked by turning the bolt by 7 lugs. The rotary bolt is located in the bolt frame, which moves along one guide rod, on which a return spring is put on. The frame itself is made of light alloy, which reduces muzzle flip when firing.

The gas piston fits rather tightly against the wall of the gas chamber, and in the absence of a gas regulator, this has a bad effect on the unpretentiousness of the rifle. Therefore, after 3-4 thousand shots without cleaning, the G-36 rifle sometimes wedges (especially if the ammunition is damp).

Accuracy and accuracy of the battle is excellent, at a distance of 200 meters, a burst of five rounds all falls into a growth target. But at a distance of more than 450 meters, the accuracy drops sharply, and even single fire is not very effective, only 60% (with a Hensoldt HKV sight). The recoil is soft with a slight upward pull, but easily controlled. The sound of the shot is muffled and pleasant.

Rate of fire approximately 750 rds / min, which is optimal for rifles of this class. Shooting can be carried out both with single shots and with fully automatic fire. The standard G-36 rifle also has a cutoff of two rounds (scattering at a distance of 100 m is only 3 cm), but the export ones only have three (here the dispersion increases to 4 cm).

The rifle is built on a pseudo-modular type, all parts are connected with pins. For disassembly, no tools other than a cartridge are required. For routine maintenance and cleaning, incomplete disassembly is sufficient, but cleaning itself is rather difficult. The inconvenient location of the barrel and gas chamber make it necessary to spend a lot of time cleaning them well. But the banal absence of a ramrod (it is absent in the machine and is in the maintenance kit) will not allow cleaning this weapon at all.

The German cleaning kit itself is stingy: folding ramrod, brush, oil. And that's all, no screwdrivers, no wiping and oil, by the way, only one kind. If dirt gets into the trigger, it remains only to replace it (fortunately, they are exactly the same and do not require adjustment, unlike AK parts) or rinse with gasoline (kerosene, diesel fuel), it is simply impossible to disassemble the block for normal cleaning in field conditions.

The bottom line is this: a truly German rifle with high accuracy and accuracy of combat, designed for the conditions of modern combat, where you can always service the weapon in a timely manner or hand it in for repair to the artefacturer. Weapons more for special forces than for the regular army. An excellent example of a combination of rigor and practicality.

And everything would be fine, only this miracle of the weapons structure is not worth the money that they ask for it. Modern ones, if they are inferior to this rifle, are a little, but they cost two, or even three times cheaper. Of course, for me personally, this weapon will remain the ideal of weapon craftsmanship, but ideals have no place on the battlefield.
