“	The G3A3 is a roller-delayed blowback battle rifle designed in West Germany in the late 1950s that served as the main service rifle for West Germany well into the 1990s. The rifle has seen significant export overseas and is produced under license in a number of countries. It fires the full-sized 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge, which packs a significant punch and still retains much of its power out to further ranges. Automatic fire is not recommended due to the significant recoil produced by the cartridge.	„

Gameplay

• G3A3 magazine holds 20 or 50 rounds, depending on the variant.
  • The Middle Eastern Alliance Automatic Rifleman kits feature a G3A3 with 50-round drum magazines.
• Can be fired on automatic and semi-automatic.
• The sights for the AKM include iron sights, Z-Point reflex sight, and ZF1 (4×) optics.
  • The iron sight allows the user to zero the rifle for different ranges (from 100m to 400m).
  • The Z-Point reflex sight allows a relatively clear sight picture for close-range combat, but it doesn't allow zeroing, limiting long-range effectiveness.
  • The ZF1 (4×) optical sight allows the user to see enemies from long distances easily and engage enemies at longer ranges without the need to zero the weapon. The zeroing of the ZF1 can be adjusted from 100 meters to 600 meters, further enhancing its long-range precision.
• G3A3 shares its damage model and ballistic performance with FN FAL, G3A4, and G3KA4.
  • They have one of the highest damage for light weapons in-game, at 165. This damage offers devastating firepower, enabling one-shot kill capability at close to medium range.
  • The 599 rounds per minute rate of fire is on the lowest end for an automatic weapon.
• G3A3 is classified in-game as the Battle Rifle. Battle Rifles have handling characteristics in between Full-Length Rifles and Medium Machine Guns. They have dreadful sway, relatively low point fire responsiveness, and excessive recoil, especially when standing up.
  • They output suppression effects akin to Medium Machine Guns and are effective at all ranges when aimed carefully.

History

The G3A3 is a selective fire, roller-delayed, blowback action battle rifle and a well-known variant of the G3 battle rifle. The G3 was designed by the German company Heckler & Koch in 1956 and adopted by the German Army as the standard service rifle from 1959 to the mid-1990s. Many variants have been created out of the G3, most famously the G3A3 and the G3 is used by many countries worldwide. The G3A3 has drum sights, a fixed plastic buttstock, a plastic slim, ventilated version, and a wide handguard that does not contact the barrel. The G3A3 is mainly made out of metal, steel, and plastic. The G3A3 uses 7.62x51mm NATO cartridges.

Trivia

• The G in G3A3 stands for Gewehr which is German for "rifle". The A in G3A3 stands for Ausführung, which is German for "version". The literal meaning of G3A3 in English is "Rifle 3 Version 3".
• G3A3 has identical damage model, ballistic performance, and handling characteristics as FN FAL. The only differences between the two weapons are the reload speed and available ranging options for the iron sight.
