The rifle's history is traced from its German adoption of the Spanish CETME, through Rheinmetall's initial production, and its subsequent sale to Indonesia. The rifle's combat use by Indonesian paratroopers in Papua New Guinea and its capture by the Papua Volunteer Corps are detailed, leading to its eventual transfer to the Dutch military and current residency in the Dutch National Military Museum.
