A sporting version of the Heckler & Koch G36 select-fire infantry rifle, the semi-auto SL8 is once again showing up in HK's catalog. 

The original Gewehr (German = rifle) 36 was a modular 5.56 NATO weapon designed in the 1990s by HK to replace the German military's aging G3 battle rifle. Produced in over a half-dozen variants for military sales and capable of firing 750-rounds per minute for as long as the magazine could keep up, the G36 was exported to over 40 countries besides its adoption by the German Bundeswehr in 1997.
