Heckler & Koch G41

Perhaps the most famous of Heckler & Koch’s designs from the 1980s is the G11 caseless ammunition-firing individual weapon, but another infantry rifle developed by HK in the late 70s and early 80s is almost as rare. 

Heckler & Koch developed the G41, as an answer to the M16A2, FN FNC and the Steyr AUG. With NATO adding 5.56x45mm to their list of standard calibres HK needed a new rifle which could use M16 magazines. The result was the G41 which included a number of new features including a forward assist and a new recoil spring. The G41 would be the last infantry service rifle, developed by HK, to use the roller-delayed blowback action that is synonymous with the company.

Check out my new video looking at the G41 below, I discuss the rifle’s design, development and history as well as comparing it side-by-side to its predecessor the HK33. Check out the full video here:

The G11 and G41 couldn’t have been more different in design and operation but both both proved to be equally ill-fated. The G11 programme was shelved following the reunification of Germany in 1990 and the G41 struggled to attract sales.
