At present,
rveapons are being designed to meet
the tactical reqirements of the art of war,
Programing and systems now replace
hasty battlefield improvization.
‘Mercenary troops were transformed
into modern armies.
Leadership is no longer restricted to
purely military policies.
Considerations of economy, too,
play an important par.
Experts in logistics and tactics now create
bighly specialized programing.Tho Hocklor & Koch Company war established

The H&K woopone system combines the
Wvantages of minimum training, impliied

timum degree, using military ammunition of
the various calibers currently adopted by
NATO member countries. Moreover, each

The bolt locking system of the G5 rifle Is
especielly suitable for expansion of the
weapons sysiem to accommodate future ty
os of ammunition, expecially those of small
caliber. Furthermore, the use of ammunition
ciency (@.g. NATO light or NATO heavy) is
possible by o simple change of bolt locking
