CETME L vs HK G41

In this week’s Armourer’s Bench video I compare two of the last roller-delayed production rifles: the Spanish CETME Modelo L and the Heckler & Koch G41. These rifles represent the last evolutions of two strands of the roller-delayed development tree - the Spanish and the German.

The rifles while both being chambered in 5.56x45mm and both using roller-delayed blowback actions differ a great deal in both their designs and their features. Not only are their external appearances very different but their internals also differ a great deal. In one of those fascinating quirks of fate, however, both of these rifles were eventually replaced by the HK G36.

I just thought up a version of the M3 grease gun that’s roller-delayed blowback instead of straight blowback, and I started thinking of more changes to it; only to realize I have essentially dreamed up a rip-off of the Sterling gun.

Rheinmetall G3

When we think G3, we immediately think Heckler & Koch but that wasn't always the case. When the fledgling West German Army adopted the, now famous, roller-delayed rifle it was produced by not just H&K but another German arms manufacturer - Rheinmetall.

In this episode I examine the design, development and history of the G3 and Rheinmetall's involvement in the iconic Cold War rifle's story. You can find a full blog with more photos of the rifle over on the TAB website, here.

Thanks for watching guys, this is the 50th main episode of TAB, can’t believe we’ve reached 50 (not including lots of TAB Shorts and specials).

Heckler & Koch HK33

In this week’s Armourer’s Bench video I take a look at Heckler & Koch’s first 5.56x45mm rifle, the HK33.  Introduced in the late 1960s, the HK33 was Heckler & Koch’s response to the emergence of the new 5.56x45mm round and FN’s introduction of the FN CAL. While the HK33 wasn’t adopted by West Germany it proved a popular export rifle and remained into production into the 1980s.

This week’s Armourer’s Bench video marks TAB’s 40th episode. So it’s only fitting that its a live fire video featuring a replica Gerat 06(H), the rifle that began the roller-delayed blowback dynasty which has included Spanish CETMEs and German HK's like the G3 and MP5.

Replicas: The Gerat 06(H) and the gas operated Gerat 06
