    in a world of compromise, some don't.

    Unless it involves low cost polymer in critical applications vs. obscenely high profit margins based on irrational fanboidom....in which case HK will happily compromise and take your money, because (as noted before) you suck, and we hate you.

    Only in Austrian.

    So being as how Hitler was Austrian is it possible that everybody thought he was cool in Germany because they couldn't understand what he was saying?????:)


    His German does sound a little different....I think he was "all hopped up on goofballs" but that is probably just me....:)

    Why not modernize the STG44?

    Well, I think there would be a market for a redesign of the STG44 in 7.62x39 (not an accurate copy, but much more reasonable to shoot). That being said, it's pretty antiquated from a military standpoint. Though, supposedly they are still showing up in combat in the Middle East and in Africa in random places (who knows where people are finding the ammo though).

    What fantastic piece of plastic. It's disappointing that the gun sucks. It looks cool but fails to be useful. A mini 14 might be better for once. It can keep a zero after heating up and cooling down at least.

    Alles kaputt!

    Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen considers the standard weapon of the Bundeswehr, the Sturmgewehr G36, unusable due to massive problems with accuracy. “This rifle, so, the way it is built, has no future in the Bundeswehr”, the CDU politician said according to meeting participants Wednesday, after a meeting of the Defense Committee of the Bundestag [the legislature — Ed.].

    I'm HK all the way. I own many guns but the only pistols I carry are HK. The only pistols I trust are HK. Even from an HK fanboys perspective this is bad. HK needs to get on top of this. While I think it's funny it's been in service for over 20 years and nothing about it till now it's still bad business.

    I guess maybe they think that they may be going to war with a neighbor soon...time to get something that works I guess.
