      I’d love to wörk for HK too, am in the midst of my engineering studies and can tell I have just that “out of the box” thinking with analytical skill as well (kind of chronically / can tell and have proof, too). Since I got my hunting license, I dream of a mr308/hk417 and customizing it into my perfect hunting rifle without loosing the hk look and feel (you know … this alert popping up in your brain, when you see a hk product and just know it is one).

    @MDWGuns Před 7 měsíci +6

    I shoot the G11 in 1990 when the Bundeswehr trails were terminated.
    The reason were the uncontrollable cookoffs.
    Meaning when the gun was hot and you chambered a round, you could count to three and it would fire! Even with the safety on.
    One other “dislike” by the Bundeswehr officers had was the fact that you could not place the ammo in your pocket for a while.
    It would break up.

    HK is a bucket list gun for most people. Because you can't afford it when you buy it. But you buy one eventually anyway. Then you can't afford ammo because you are broke.....forever.

    I was surprised the USP wasn’t one of the five weapons highlighted. For decades, my USP .45 ACP Tactical has been among my most esteemed hand guns and (imho) the USP-series innovations (recoil reduction system, incredible reliability, accuracy and durability, first polymer frame, manual of arms, barrel material and manufacturing, and so forth) clearly were trend-setters for the industry. For example, one frequently hears the claim that Glocks were the first polymer receiver handguns, however, the fact is H&K were.

    Regarding similarity in looks, I would say he looks more like he could be Chad Stahelski’s brother !

    I’m surprise he didn’t show the DSR 1 or MSG90

    How much for a 10mm swap? Barrel, mag, disconnector?

    Only shot 1 hk before, the p30L .40. The soft recoil was impressive for.40 but honestly that trigger is so ass I hate the LEM shit trigger & why buy overpriced guns from someone that doesn’t even care about me as a civilian buying an don’t want me to buy doesn’t make sense keep your guns then 😂. Side note he got me hooked on that bojangled chicken biscuit, them hash rounds are so addictive 😍
