Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
H&K
I kept hearing people say H&K borderline on an anti-gun mentality. I never see anything from them directly. But anyone with more experience know about that?

HKs position on owning the MP71a
”…the MP71A is unavailable to civilians and for good measure. We all know that’s technology no civvies should ever get to lay their hands on. This is a purpose-built weapon with no sporting applications to speak of.”
Then, in response to a Seth Young’s Facebook comment on the matter b
“Like we mentioned before, the MP7A1 is unavailable to civilians and for good reason. We all know that’s technology no civies should ever get to lay their hands on. This is a purpose-built weapon with no sporting applications to speak of. It is made to put down scumbags, and that’s it. Mike Cabrera of Heckler & Koch Law Enforcement Sales and veteran law enforcement officer with SWAT unit experience points out that this is a gun that you do not want in the wrong, slimy hands. It comes with semi-automatic and full-auto firing modes only. Its overall size places it between a handgun and submachine gun. Its assault rifle capabilities and small size make this a serious weapon that should not be taken lightly.”
Where was this published? Funny how a German company don't know what civilian disarmament means.Originally Posted by HBARleatherneck

It goes back a while-
An open letter to the gun community from HK’s marketing department:
In a world of compromises, some people put the bullets in the magazine backwards…But it doesn’t matter, because our gun is on the cover of the Rainbow Six video games. Look how cool that SEAL coming out of the water looks… If you buy a $2,000 SOCOM, you will be that cool of an operator too. And chicks will dig you.
At HK, we stuck a piston on an AR15, just like a bunch of other companies have done, dating back to about 1969. However ours is better, because we refuse to sell it to civilians. Because you suck, and we hate you.
Our XM8 is the greatest rifle ever developed. It may melt, and it doesn’t fit any accessories known to man, but that is your fault. If you were a real operator, you would love it. Once again, look at Rainbow Six, that G36 sure is cool isn’t it? Yeah, you know you want one.And by the way, check out our new HK45. We decided that humans don’t need to release the magazine with their thumbs. If you were a really manly teutonic operator, you would be able to reach the controls. Plus we’ve fired 100,000,000 rounds through one with zero malfunctions, and that was while it was buried in a lake of molten lava, on the moon. If you don’t believe us, it is because you aren’t a real operator.
By the way, our cheap, mass-produced, stamped sheet metal guns like the G3 and MP5 are the bestest things ever, and totally worth asinine scalpers prices, but note that cheap, mass-produced, stamped sheet metal guns from other countries are commie garbage. Not that it matters, because you’re civilians, so we won’t sell them to you anyway. Because you suck, and we hate you, but we know you’ll be back. We can beat you down like a trailer park wife, but you’ll come back, you always do.
Buy our stuff.
Sincerely
HK Marketing Department.
Because you suck. And we hate you.
I think it started when they refused to support or sell any parts for NFA stuff to private citizens.
Making good people helpless won't make bad people harmless.
The above quote is from Jerry Tsai, deposed editor of Recoil Mag. He was fired over the obviously anti-2A undertones. It was not written by HK.
SAnd,
Best commentary on HK I've read in a long time. Never been a fan of HK. I'm not sure who they are designing guns for. But is sure isn't for the normal sized human.
Also isn't the MP7 that sub gun chambered in a goofy cartridge? Not quite a rifle cartridge but only mildly more powerful than a handgun cartridge. Good idea, but poor caliber choice. Just like the FN P90.
4.6x30mm
H&K looks at the American civilian shooter as a pain in the ass. They are only interested in the military/ LE area, and if you did'nt see the OBVIOUS sarcasim in Jerry Tsai's comments, then you don't know H&K.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head.
