HK G11 K2

Image File Size: 20 kilobytes

Early in 1990, an order by the Ministry of Defense decreed its introduction, but then reunification came and suddenly the Bundeswehr owned an additional 1.2 million small arms. Unifiying 2 armies that have hardly more than a language in common is so difficult that the DM 2.7 mio. intended for the acquisition of 1 million G11 rifles (numbing figures from a post-Cold War perspective!) had to be spent on reorganizing the East German forces. Its soldiers got HK G3s from West German arsenals; the various Kalashnikov models of the NVA (Nationale Volksarmee, National People's Army) were scrapped or sent to other armies as a gift (believe it or not!). Introduction of the G11 was delayed indefinitely.
