I would favor the latter explanation. It is probably relatively new production. The likely explanation is that the weapon is a HK32 manufactured by the

Beautiful weapon though. I wouldn't mind owning one with a 40 round clip somewhere Obama and his spooks can't find me. Something about that gun screams not legal to own. Haha!

I see no reason why they would go to such great lengths to stage a photo with a replica of a weapon that never went into production. irishman, the Mexican cops have plenty of weapons that fire real bullets.

Therefore I fear that it was smuggeled across the border from America. Sorry, just watched the evening news, lost touch with reality.
