Another WIN for the AR-Design Pattern
Panzergrenadier Battalion 122 in Oberviechtach has officially received the first G95 rifles, marking an important step in the Bundeswehr’s transition to a new standard service weapon.
The G95 is a Bundeswehr-specific variant of the HK416 (piston system) and retains the familiar AR-15 layout while using a primarily metal construction said to improve durability, stability, and overall precision.

The rifle will be fielded in two configurations: the G95A1 with a 16.5-inch (419 mm) barrel and the shorter G95KA1 with a 14-inch (355 mm) barrel.
Both versions differ visually from the longstanding G36 by adopting a greenish-brown finish instead of black. According to the Bundeswehr, the shift away from black reduces the infrared signature and makes the rifle less detectable.
