MG4, MG4 E and MG4 KE

The MG4 is Heckler & Koch’s solution to the current asymmetric threat scenarios and the change in the military range of tasks.

The development of the “Infantryman of the Future” (IDZ) equipment concept for the German Army is aimed at increasing the capability of the German Army by means of a new armament concept. This is the reason why a lightweight, compact machine gun of high fire power was required. The idea was that it could be carried by one soldier and would guarantee full mobility in difficult  terrain and in the urban environment. The MG4  meets all these requirements and offers latest technological advances. Moreover, it is compatible with all NATO standard ammunitions and works with commercially available ammunition boxes and ammunition pouches, which are available as accessories.

The MG4 provides unmatched reliability and performance characteristics even under the most adverse combat conditions. Owing to its low recoil, the shot is readily controllable and gives high target precision.

Its outstanding battle field characteristics make this a weapon which is unparalleled.

Its standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail allows an almost unlimited number of mounting options for mechanical and optical sights, thus guaranteeing full night fighting capability. Its favourable dimensions and low weight allow the user to carry the MG4 even over long distances without getting too tired. Its extensive special accessories make the MG4 an unbeatable companion for all types of missions.
