Heckler Koch G3 CETMECetme Rifle 7.62 mm
After World War II, German weapon designers that escaped to Spain produced a new class of assault rifle called the CETME rifle. The first model CETME was created in 1949. The CETME rifle was adopted by the post-war West German military in 1957 and called the Gewehr 3 (G3). The G3 has since been replaced in Germany with the HK G36 rifle. The Heckler and Koch took over production of the CETME rifle with the G3 model. The G3 model has been adopted by at least 48 countries. The G3 is licensed for production in at least 13 other countries. The G3 model using the West German 7.62 mm round has been found to cause greater incapacitation than the standard NATO 7.62 round due to higher ballistic fractures. The G3 design system has been since used in 5.56 rifles. CETME Manufacturer: G3
