Trivia
In-game
- Among all newly released weapons, this gun has the most broken HUD model and it contains only the very basic polygon to show the gun in quarter-back view - most of the front is broken with holes and missing polygon.
- In CF Vietnam, this is the most expensive GP weapon up-to-date, which is cost 68k GP (on pair with TRG-21). The second is Type 89, which is cost 63k GP.
- Once again, just like VSK-94 and Knight SR-25's variants, this gun become a "banned weapon" in this server, due to its fast firing rate and the 100% accuracy. If a player is spotted using this gun, the whole room (most of them) will often try to kick him/her out ASAP.
- While the HK G28 has 100% Accuracy while walking, it is offset by the rather high recoil after the 3rd to 4th Shot, rendering said 100% Accuracy just about meaningless.
- In CF Philippines, this gun is the second sniper to place in GP Lotto after APR 338.
- This is also first semi-auto sniper in GP crates lotto.
- Oddly, this gun also have an incorrect magazine size, since in-game it's longer one then should be chambered 20-rounds, while the smaller one has 10-rounds.
- This weapon in the game file is simply named G28.
Real life
- The Heckler & Koch G28 is the new designated marksman rifle of the U.S. Army, replacing the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System.
- HK G28 comes equipped with a red dot sight above the sniper scope just like Knight SR-25 Burning Shot, but it's unusable in-game since the scope's lens cover blocks it.
- Looking closely at the rifle, it's fire selector switch is actually set to safe, meaning it shouldn't be able to fire in reality.
