Talk:Heckler & Koch

Handguns

If anyone would like to adjust the Handguns' table so that the calibers line up with the capacity available for that caliber that would be great. If you don't get what I mean, look at the Heckler & Koch UMP in the Sub-Machine gun category. --Zackmann08 23:07, 23 December 2011 (CST)

I like this idea. While this isn't a wiki, strictly speaking, like it or not, this IS the place people go online to learn stuff about firearms. Alex T Snow 16:26, 17 January 2012 (CST)

Just to "keep it German," I'm glad that a brand-and-firearms-made-by-that-brand page for Walther has been made too. --Mazryonh 23:55, 17 January 2012 (CST)

Who did this page because im certain the HK45 didnt come out in 1995 --Captain Snikt 20:18, 22 January 2012 (CST)

I did this page. And according to the Manufacturer of the gun it was "first released in 1995". http://www.hk-usa.com/military_products/hk45_general.asp What makes you "so certain"? --Zackmann08 20:40, 22 January 2012 (CST)

I think the reason it seems odd is the HK45/P30 seem like "replacements" for the USPs, and the HK45 only came out a couple years after the USP and about the same time as the USP45, while for some reason the 9mm version of the HK45, the P30, didn't come out until 2006.

I think it is a poorly worded sentence that actually refers to the release date of the USP45 and not the HK45. As the sentence reads "The HK45 was developed as a product improvement of the highly regarded USP45, first released in the 1995." While it could mean that the HK45 was released that year, it most likely means that it is an improvement over the gun released that year. Dover500 06:21, 23 January 2012 (CST)

It IS a poorly worded sentence. The HK45 did NOT exist back in 1995. It was the USP45 that was first released in 1995. the HK45 replaced that gun in 2005. Hell the one pic I got of the screen used gun for Book of Eli, The was one of the earliest ones in Hollywood Inventory... MoviePropMaster2008 22:35, 23 January 2012 (CST)

Well MoviePropMaster2008 is the expert here so I will GLADLY defer to him. Any one who has a better source of when the gun was actually introduced, please correct my mistake. Thanks. --Zackmann08 22:51, 23 January 2012 (CST)

The HK45 was made specifically for the Joint Combat Pistol Program which ran from 2005-2006, so the HK45 was first produced in 2005.----JazzBlackBelt-- 06:52, 23 January 2012 (CST)

That sounds better. Alex T Snow 19:10, 23 January 2012 (CST)

G28

Any further information on this? The only things I have heard are that it is the new German DMR and that, the weight is something like seventeen pounds. --Charon68 23:33, 18 February 2012 (CST)

Google "G28 DMR" for lots of pics. It's based on the HK417, and seems to be the German Army's Mk11/M110. Alex T Snow 00:37, 19 February 2012 (CST)
