Assault Rifle · 5.56mm
A 5.56 carbine added with the High Life update — high accuracy, large default magazine, and a balanced firing curve that makes it a popular GTA Online endgame loadout.
The Vom Feuer Special Carbine is an assault rifle appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Business Update.
The Carbine is visually based on the . The handguard is a similar size and shape to that of the G36C, but the vent holes are lower down that of the H&K, meaning space for six instead of two per side. The carry handle is more linear than those of the G36 family, but is derived from the G36C variant. The assault rifle features a pistol grip with three thumb grooves, unlike any German assault rifle in production in 2013. The magazine's shape is rectangular, inspired by 7.62 Galil variant's magazines, which is odd considering the use of 5.56mm ammunition. The front sight is very different than that of the actual G36C's, in that it lacks the circular, round front sights seen in other Heckler & Koch weapons such as the and . Instead of the G36's ambidextrous charging handle that lies flush with the body, the Special Carbine has a charging handle that juts out on both sides of the weapon in the same location.
Although the weapon can only fire in full-automatic, there is a double-sided fire selector with small icons on it, which "X" is the safe position, ">" is semi-automatic and ">>" is full-automatic.
