User:Shy Guy Gunzel/HK53A1

The Heckler and Koch HK53A1 is the standard issue rifle of the Bottersnike Marine Corps. It was placed in service in 1998 and is heavily distributed among the BMC.

It is chambered in .223 Remington and the camouflage will depend on the situation, eg if a 'snike is stationed in the desert the gun will have a yellow and brown desert paintjob. The gun was selected because of its considerably light recoil, its accuracy as well as the extreme reliability.

Although the majority of the B.M.C carry this weapon, some other units, such as Snikeforce, carry the different types of weapons. Some guns are fitted with ACOG scopes and silencers if necessary.
