Successor to the G36: It will be later.

The specialists are happy, they have already got what they wanted: the HK416 has been introduced as the new assault rifle for the German special forces. HERE you can find the G96K in the SPARTANAT Photo File.

The decision for the new Bundeswehr assault rifle was supposed to have been made already, but it is being further postponed, reports BamS. The parliamentary discussion is now planned for October 2020, according to information from the Ministry of Defense as reported by the newspaper. A weapons manufacturer also feels disadvantaged and has filed a complaint. The last two manufacturers in the running were Heckler & Koch and Haenel Defence. SIG Sauer and Rheinmetall had withdrawn.
