- The Heckler & Koch G36 (short for Gewehr 36) is a German-made assault rifle manufactured by Heckler and Koch in the 1990s. It is the primary rifle of the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces) and replaced the aging 1950s-era G3. Heckler and Koch originally began developing the G36 when the Bundeswehr made a request for a rifle in the light of the cancellation of the G11 and G41. It was originally called the HK-50 project. It was adopted by the Bundeswehr in 1997 and phased out in 2015 due to issues with accuracy after sustained fire. Unless upgraded, the rifle would be replaced by the HK417 or the RS556 due to accuracy issues in certain conditions not present on the HK417.

- The G36 was developed from the venerable 7.62mm G3 battle rifle (also developed and manufactured by Heckler & Koch). There are several different models in production, all with a common modular design that allows different barrel lengths and accessories to be interchanged quickly and easily. As with many Heckler & Koch weapons it has proved very popular and can be found in use with numerous militaries and law enforcement agencies around the globe.
- Division Delta Codenamed:Anti-Virus uses this weapon just as much as the Colt M-16.
- The Heckler & Koch G36 ("Gewehr 36" or "Rifle 36") is a select-fire assault rifle designed and developed by Heckler & Koch. By the 1990s, Germany had sought a service rifle chambered in the 5.56mm ammunition to fit the NATO standards. After the failure of the G11, Heckler & Koch had constructed a working prototype named the HK50, however it was the Bundeswehr who officially designated it the Gewehr 36 or G36.
- The Heckler & Koch G36 was a short carbine rifle used by government agents as well as terrorist groups. It took 5.56mm armor piercing rounds. Jack Bauer used an HK G36 Commando during the raid on Utopia Studios during Trojan Horse. During Collateral Damage, Jack found a G36 Commando among other weapons stashed in Erno Tobias's wardrobe. The G36 was seen numerous times on 24. For the full list of appearances, see Rifles on 24.
