  More mini-documentaries please! Henry has such a great radio voice and the way the videos are researched, paced, and structured keeps things intriguing as well as informative. Can't get enough of this style of content.

  I took the modernized Norwegian version of the G3, the AG3F1 with an Aimpoint on it, to Afghanistan twice. It never failed me. Turned it in after about 10 years with me in the serivce to get my HK416. The 416 is a good rifle. But that AG3 will live on in my heart forever.

  Thanks for this,<br>As a young man, I served in the Iranian army during the war between Iran and Iraq. &nbsp;G-3 was the standard issue riffle for the Iranian army while the Iraqi forces used AK-47. &nbsp;We were told that the Iraqis were scared of our G3 as no one lives after being shot by a G3 but the AK just doesn&apos;t have the same stopping power. &nbsp;My friend sustained two 7.62x39 shots to his torso and lived.

  I served with the portuguese army and carried a 1972 made G3. In 1999 it could still deliver consistent center mass hits on a human size silhouette target at 200 meters. This was a rifle used for boot camp. Droped, dragged, drowned and otherwize abused for decades by clumsy recruits ( myself included). And it could still shoot accurately. During my time carring old &quot;clementine&quot; (clementina in portuguese) it performed flawlessly.

  You are the first person to explain the roller delayed blowback system to me, and it was perfect. Such a genius feat of engineering on H&amp;K&apos;s part and a genius feat of explaining on yours

  Dear Sir. When I served in the Danish military as a Young man, we were issued Garand rifles. Later on we received the H&amp;K G3. Fantastic weapon, the G3. I have been down range Four times, and when I was in Iraq, the H&amp;K MP5 never left my side-even in bed😊. Thank you for your excellent channel, your content is soothing to an Old grunt’s/veteran’s heart. Take care of your loved ones and yourself. Tino, 🇩🇰

  i served in an engineer unit in the bundeswehr. we had those collapsing stock g3 rifles in our armory, and we got to train with them a couple of times, despite the g36 already being the standard back in 07/08. i hear horrorstories how it smashed up peoples shoulders and so forth, but i didn&apos;t find it particularly bad. the cheek/chinweld was a tad more awkward than the g36 with it&apos;s dual optic, and it has a bit more recoil, but still very managable. the design makes total sense for POGs like us engineers, but i also heard that fallschirmjäger units had these.
