NOTE: Specifications shown below cover the HK33E with fixed butt.

The HK33E series was a direct replacement of the earlier HK33 automatic rifles and is basiclaly the 5.56mm equivalent of the HK G3 rifle (detailed elsewhere on this site). The system differed only slightly from the original, keeping the reliable roller-locked delayed blowback system in place. Firing the smaller 5.56x45mm ammunition makes the HK33E series a more accurate full automatic weapon, though selective fire is also made available. The HK33E can also be fielded with a bipod, specialized telescopic sights and rifle grenades launched from the barrel (the latter action limited to the longer barrel versions).

The HK33E can be found in a five total classifications that cover an automatic rifle version and a shortened carbine version (the latter designated as the HK33KE). Rates of fire are somewhat lessened for the carbine variant and the variants in the HK33E series are as follows:

HK33E Fixed Butt Rifle
HK33E Rifle with Retractable butt
HK33E Rifle with Bipod Attachment
HK33E Sniper Rifle with Telescopic Sight
HK33KE Carbine

The "E" in the HK 33E designation stands for "export".
