Estonia's AK4 TP is a modernized Swedish AK4 (G3 variant) serving as a Designated Marksman Rifle. These rifles feature a Hensoldt 4x optic, Magpul stock, and Versa-Pod bipod for enhanced accuracy. They retain the original full-auto fire control unit, indicating a focus on precision rather than a complete overhaul of the G3 platform.

The Danish m/66 Sniper rifle, a specialized G3 variant, was developed to replace the M1D for the Danish Home Guard. It features a fixed stock, silent bolt closure, and a Hensoldt 4x24 scope with a unique buttstock extension for proper eye relief. Issued to marksmen and kept at home, it served until the early 2000s.

The Heckler & Koch Aiming Point Projector (APP/ZPP), developed in the late 1970s, was an advanced low-light aiming solution. It projected a calibrated light circle with a central aiming dot, offering a sophisticated alternative to improvised methods. Despite its innovative design and compatibility with HK rifles via a claw mount, its significant weight, high cost, and complex calibration limited widespread adoption.

The G36 rifle platform is praised, but the original Hensoldt dual optic is deemed impractical due to significant zero shift caused by polymer flex in the carry handle mount. This flex, exacerbated by the bolt slamming home, likely contributed to historical accuracy issues. Modern alternatives like aluminum rails with EOTech sights offer better stability.

This video provides a comprehensive overview of the Heckler & Koch G36 rifle, detailing its features and modifications. It covers the transition from the traditional Hensoldt dual optic to a modern aluminum optics rail and Knights Armament iron sights. Additionally, the video demonstrates the installation of an AR magazine-compatible lower receiver. The presenter emphasizes that this semi-automatic configuration is legal to own in Canada with a PAL. A shorter version of the video is also available.

The H&K PSG1 is a legendary semi-automatic sniper rifle developed for counter-terrorism units, boasting exceptional accuracy with a 1 MOA guarantee. Its design emphasizes stability and precision, featuring a heavy barrel, adjustable ergonomics, and a specialized Hensoldt optic. Despite its age and significant weight, the PSG1's precision remains highly regarded, even outperforming some modern H&K models.

The H&K MSG90 is presented as an accurate, lighter, and more mobile Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) descendant of the PSG1, built on an accurized G3 platform. Key features enhancing its precision include T-rails on the receiver, a heavy adjustable stock, a free-floated barrel with a harmonic balancer, and a specialized trigger group with a 3-pound pull. The rifle demonstrated impressive accuracy, achieving a 0.424 MOA group at 100 yards with 168-grain ammunition.

The FG-42 exhibits surprisingly low recoil, even in full-auto, with minimal muzzle climb allowing for easy target reacquisition. Shooters found it "amazing" and "feels really good to shoot" with minimal kickback. Its recoil is even noted to be less than that of an M1 Garand.

This video showcases the Hensoldt 3.5-26x56 scope, displayed at SHOT Show 2012. The reviewer highlights its precision, linking it to the quality expected from Carl Zeiss Optics. A key segment of the video involves shooting the scope mounted on an Accuracy International AX338 rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum.
