Our sister-blog All Outdoors has reviewed the Heckler & Koch H&K P30L … I have always wanted a $1,100 H&K pistol about the same way I have always wanted a BMW 7 series. In reality, there are many cars far less expensive that can deliver the utility of [Read More…]

Heckler & Koch has an MP5 and an MP7 in their new RAL-8000 Green-Brown color scheme. I first recall seeing a complete H&K rifle, including optics, in this color scheme when they unveiled the H&K G28 DMR last year. Since then we have seen H&K machine [Read More…]
One thing that never fails to amaze me on this blog is that whenever one of our writers (myself included) or a staff member either posts a review or product announcement from Heckler and Koch, said article generates 60 plus comments in a day and of course the inevitable [Read More…]
The folks at 762PR Defence PR Marketing sent us some photos of the H&K HK416A5. The A5 model was unveiled late last year and incorporates some of the features H&K developed for the H&K G28 DMR (which is itself based on the HK417).
A reader from Brazil sent us these photos of the 10.5″ barreled H&K416 used by the Brazilian Federal Police Special Forces (C.O.T). It looks like they are using EO Tech holographic sights and a laser/light designator (which I can’t identify). [Read More…]

The folks at Funker Tactical have been producing a series on videos on the H&K G36C. In the video below they show you the field stripping process. I like that the G26 stock has holes to hold the takedown pins during disassembly so they do not get lost. In the video [Read More…]
