===HK33=== [[File:HK33A2 Flickr (yet another finn).jpg|thumb|Heckler & Koch HK33A2 with Trijicon Compact ACOG]] During the 1960s, other countries would follow the Americans lead and begin to develop 5.56Γ45mm assault rifles, most notably Germany with the [[Heckler & Koch HK33]]. The HK33 was essentially a smaller 5.56mm version of the 7.62Γ51mm [[Heckler & Koch G3]] rifle. As one of the first 5.56mm assault rifles on the market, it would go on to become one of the most widely distributed assault rifles. The HK33 featured a modular design with a wide range of accessories (telescoping butt-stocks, optics, [[bipod]]s, etc.) that could be easily removed and arranged in a various configurations.
