Heckler & Koch G36C
The G36C is the most compact member of the G36 family; it was introduced in 2001, and differs in that it comes with a shorter 9" barrel (compared to 18.9" on the original G36 and 12.5" on the G36K). The G36C also has a rail-top carry handle that lacks the optical sight(s) of the earlier G36 models, though G36/G36K carry handles will fit on the C model (and likewise, G36C carry handles can be fitted to the larger variants).

Heckler & Koch SL8
The Heckler & Koch SL8 rifle was the company's attempt at selling a commercial 'sportsman' rifle based on the military G36 design. They removed the 'offending' assault rifle type features to enable them to sell within Europe and the United States. What many see as an 'emasculated' G36 rifle, was the form of the weapon that was approved for import by the BATFE in the United States. Heckler & Koch has another variant of the SL8 rifle that has a shorter threaded barrel, designed for a Suppressor, called the SL9. Airsoft companies and Video Games routinely mis-identify or misname these rifles. The correct nomenclature designated for the real firearm is the one which should be used.
