This video focuses on the PTR GI model, which is a replica of the Heckler & Koch G3 rifle. The description details the G3's history, its development by Heckler & Koch and CETME, its chambering in 7.62x51mm NATO, and its service as the German Bundeswehr's main battle rifle until replaced by the H&K G36. It also highlights the G3's international adoption and its modular design influencing other HK firearm models like the MP5 and PSG1.

This video delves into the Heckler & Koch HK21, a light machine gun variant of the iconic G3 rifle, and its Portuguese designation as the m/968. It highlights the HK21's development as part of a complete small arms package and its initial lack of adoption by the West German Bundeswehr, instead finding a significant early market in Portugal, who also licensed its production. The description details the mechanical modifications that differentiate the HK21 from the G3, such as a reinforced receiver, heavier recoil buffer, enhanced sights, quick-change barrel, and belt-feed action. It also mentions the HK21's competition in US LMG trials where it was ultimately outperformed by the FN Minimi, and notes its challenging recoil characteristics.

This video delves into the Heckler & Koch HK21 light machine gun, also known as the Portuguese m/968. It explores its development as a companion to the iconic G3 rifle and its adoption by Portugal.

This video features a range test of the HK21, a belt-fed variant of H&K's roller-delayed blowback system. The narrator details its origins, its commonality with other H&K firearms like the MP5 and HK33, and its modular design allowing for different calibers and feed mechanisms. The 7.62mm model demonstrated is noted for its reliability in harsh conditions, though it's also described as having harsher recoil than comparable firearms. The video thanks H&K USA for access and Trijicon for range use and optic provision.

This TFBTV episode explores Heckler & Koch's rare but effective light and general-purpose machine guns, focusing on the HK21, HK23, and HK11. James delves into their roller-delayed blowback operation, .308 caliber, and shared parts with the HK91/G3 platform. Despite their lightweight, accurate, and reliable design, these weapons didn't achieve widespread adoption in larger NATO countries. The video also touches on their modern-day presence in video games and promotes TFBTV's Patreon giveaways.

This video showcases a reproduction of the StG-45(M) prototype in slow motion. Developed by Mauser engineers at the end of WWII, this rifle served as the foundation for Heckler & Koch's iconic roller-delayed blowback series, including the HK91, MP5, and others. Although twenty sets of parts were produced, the war prevented complete assembly at Mauser. A few were later finished by Allied intelligence for testing. The rifle is chambered in 8x33 Kurz and is noted for its excellent handling. The description also references another video, "Last Ditch Innovation," for more details on its development into the H&K lineage.
