Probably the MG36 light machine gun variant. Heavier barrel, bipod,
otherwise indistinguishable from the G36. Can use a an American Beta Co.
CMAG double 100 round drum in the light machine gun role.

Not officially adopted by the Bundeswehr. Not enough advantages over the
plain G36. No quick-change barrel, so not really an MG, more of a squad
support weapon.

The MG36 can take both the drum magazine and the standard transparent
plastic G36 mags. These are described as STANAG.compatible. Does this
mean
they are M-16 compatible ? I remember reading the G36 could take those
mags,
but I can't find the reference right now.
