Umarex has shown a licensed airsoft replica of the HK G95K, the short version of the rifle the Bundeswehr chose to replace the G36. It is an AEG with a programmable electronic trigger.

Umarex has shown a licensed airsoft replica of the Heckler and Koch G95K, the short version of the rifle now entering German military service. Airsoft Milsim News reported the replica on 27 February 2026, ahead of the IWA OutdoorClassics trade fair in Nuremberg.

The real rifle

The Bundeswehr switched from the G36 to the HK G95 in 2025. The G95K is the compact version, developed for special forces such as the KSK. Both are members of Heckler and Koch's HK416 family.

The replica

The Umarex G95K is an electric rifle, or AEG. It uses a split gearbox, which lets the upper and lower receivers come apart more easily for maintenance, and a programmable electronic trigger. The hop up is Umarex's adjustable Shoot-up system.

The muzzle has an M14x1 counter clockwise thread, the standard for airsoft muzzle devices. The replica comes with a 120 round mid capacity magazine that can be switched to hold 30 rounds, which suits games with magazine limits.

Other features include a foldable backup sight set at 45 degrees, a telescopic stock and ambidextrous controls. There are Picatinny rails at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions, and detachable HKey side rails for lights and lasers.

Umarex holds the airsoft licence for Heckler and Koch, so the replica carries the correct trademarks and markings. No price or release date has been given.

What it means for players

The G95 is new in real service, so this is one of the first chances for players to build a current German loadout. Players who copy real units will want the correct markings, and the licence covers that.

A programmable trigger lets players set burst modes and other functions, but site rules come first. Many sites limit full auto indoors and set different power limits for different classes of gun. Players should check how burst settings are treated at their own site.

The switchable magazine is a practical touch. Some milsim events allow only 30 round magazines, and being able to use one magazine type in both kinds of game saves money. In the UK, any realistic replica must be bought with a valid defence, such as being a regular skirmisher at an insured site. We will report the price and release date when Umarex confirms them.
