BF2S Forums What weapon catogory does the G36K come under?

Nah. I think the G36K is an assault rifle.  Thats probably the only exception to BF2. 

If you play with the G36K, your time in the assault rifle goes up.  Not carbine time.

Carbine

G36K the Carbine version.

Ea got it wrong the G36k is the carbine since in german K stands for "Karabin" And the the G36c is the compact version issued to tank crews, H&K knew it could'nt have 2 rifles with K at the end so they used C meaning in english Compact. thats why it has a C instead of a K. Now the E is actually an Export version of the gun really it's an improvent over the original called the G36A or Prototype.

EDIT: The AG36 launcher fits on all G36 models(Just like the m203 can be mounted on an m4 and many other guns) so which leaves me to wonder why did'nt Dice give the S.A.S. assault kit the G36E with The AG36 under barrel grenade launcher? Laziness? Or because the L85A2 was already using it? See i hate the f2000 it's so inaccurate at mid range and up. The G36E with a nade launcher would have made my and many other assault players day.

Looks like you grabbed those pics from world.guns.ru, and I'm pretty sure that they have it wrong.

As Globefish says, the "K" is for kurtz, the German word for short.  It's a slightly shorter version of the full rifle (which is the G36 or G36E).  The "C" is for "compact" or "commando" (can't find a definitive source on that right now), and that's the carbine version, a much shorter weapon.

Look at the pictures you've posted.  The barrel of the "C" is visually shorter, it's clearly the smallest of them (the key distance here is the distance from the front of the magazine to the end of the barrel).  The "K" you've posted looks much shorter at first because its stock is folded over, but if you look at the body of the rifle, you can see that it's the exact same body as on the G36 standard model, the only difference really is that the barrel is slightly shorter (you can see it protrudes a couple of inches less from the receiver. Check out the specifications here, and again it's obvious that the "C" model is the smallest, and therefore clearly the carbine.

I assumed that any weapon used by the Spec Ops kit in BF2 would have their weapon register as a carbine, even if in the real world it's not.  Having it otherwise would just be too complicated, I think.  That's not to say that it hasn't been set up that way, but I'd be pretty surprised if it was. 

There was a similar discussion about whether the SCAR-L is an assault rifle or a carbine too, many people saying that the "L" version was the carbine.  The L and H designations only refer to what round the weapon is chambered for, however.  Whether that particular weapon is considered a carbine or assault rifle really depends on the rest of its configuration, since the SCAR weapon system is modular, the two versions sharing over 60% of their parts.  They can be put together with short barrels and shortened stocks, and in that case might be considered a carbine instead, but in their standard set-ups the two versions are practically the same size and therefore both the same type of weapon (Assault rifles...)
