1970s Bundeswehr G3 Rifle Manufacturing Video

Here is a video my friend Jim shared with me. It is a film made in the 70s and shows some of the manufacturing process for the HK G3. The video is interesting to watch but the music is a bit dated. I am expecting Adam West as Batman to show up at any moment. It is black and white and entirely in German. Enjoy.

Very cool.
Nice to see how one of my rifles was made, possibly even one of the ones in the promo film might be mine! As someone else commented, gotta love the 'safety' procedures of the time regardless of whether it was in the FRG or the US or...! Really appreciate the film being converted to video and then posted....a glimpse of how we got where we are today which many tend to forget/ignore.
