Operation of parts
By means of a nut the barrel is tightly screwed to the barrel extension.
The bolt head carrier houses the bolt head which can move along its
longitudinal axis inside the bolt head carrier. Additionally to its
longitudinal movement the bolt head can also pivot around its
longitudinal axis.
In the locked condition the bolt head is in the foremost position. The bolt
head in the bolt head carrier is turned in such a way that the locking lugs
of the bolt head engage in the corresponding locking lugs of the barrel
extension.
The weapon is now loaded and the safety/fire selector lever on fire.
Pulling the trigger releases the hammer which hits the firing pin. The
cartridge is ignited.
The propellant gases accelerate the bullet. As soon as the bullet has
passed the gas vent hole, a portion of the gases enters the gas block.
These gases push the bolt head carrier via the gas piston and the push
rod to the rear. The control bolt and the control cam in the bolt head
carrier rotate and unlock the bolt head.

Blank firing attachment with adjustable gas nozzle
The blank firing attachment is designed for firing blank cartridges. It is
screwed onto the muzzle instead of the flash hider.
Attention: A separate special blank firing attachment has to be used for
the G36K E Rifle. This attachment is additionally marked with a red
colored ring.

Safety blank firing attachment
The safety blank firing attachment does not have an adjustable nozzle.
A diffuser spiral prevents propellant particles leaving the blank firing
attachment in forward direction. Blanks may thus be fired at extremely
short ranges. The integrated bullet trap can intercept the bullet of a
single ball cartridge fired by mistake. The blank firing attachment is to be
screwed onto the muzzle tightly. The blank firing attachments for G36 E
and G36K E are different and are marked correspondingly.
