GURPS Assault Rifles (TL 7)

Version 2.16

The assault rifle is often the workhorse of combat troops. Many more assault rifles are in GURPS High-Tech.

Some weapon descriptions have codes (e.g. [h, l, n, s, f]) indicating possible modifications/accessories. A code in round brackets (e.g. (s)) indicates that the weapon is already fitted with that extra. Click on the codes to go to the modifications/accessories page. Clicking on the weapon names brings you additional immages.

Use the Guns [Rifle] (for single shots) or Guns [Light Automatic] (for bursts) skills with assault rifles.

HK G36 The trigger can be set for 2-round burst and full-auto. G36 Accessories include a 100-round Dual Drum magazine ($256) and the NSA 80 II Passive Night Vision Sight Module (eliminates darkness modifiers up to -8; $7,000). Folding the stock reduces Holdout to -4, Acc to 7 and SS to 10. 
The shorter carbine version, HK G36K, does 4d damage and weighs 6.6 lbs.

4.73×33mm caseless [h, l, n, s, f]
HK ACRHK-ACR is the American name for the HK G11 K2. The U.S. Army holds the patents for this weapon and may opt to use or sell it sometimes. Optional 3-round burst (+3 to skill for number of hits; no recoil for first burst in combat round; Rcl -3 for each subsequent burst in the same round). Two additional magazines are carried side by side on the weapon and are included in the weight, for a total of 135 shots. Mounting a grenade launcher on the HK-ACR would spoil its balance (SS +3). A "universal implement attachment point" in the front of the handguard allows for a bayonet, bipod, or laser aimer to be attached.
The European designation for the caliber is 4.73×33mm caseless. This is the same (!) as the American 4.92×34mm caseless. GURPS normally uses the European designation. 87 rounds weigh one pound (compare to other cartridges on p. HT13, p. CII38).
