I want all of them. ALL OF THEM. Especially the XM29 in the first pic, the MP7. And of course all of the G36 and the XM8's.![]()
Assuming that it's functional, I'm rather surprised at how small that XM29 is.
Yeah I know. But I still want those XM8's.Originally Posted by Ratamacue

In the late 90's Heckler & Koch was bought by BAe (British Aerospace) and was involved in the upgrade of the L85 (SA80) to the L85A2 standards.Originally Posted by GoSka37
Wrap them all up for me. I'm sure my wife won't mind the cost for all of those.
Few years ago the airport police in Zurich sold their G33s to the civil market to very good conditions in excellent state... so a few of us got very luckyOriginally Posted by Wamba

H&K was formerly owned by British Aerospace Systems (after the original L85/86 programme) but had been returned to German ownership by the time the L85/L86 upgrade programme was announced.
Heckler und Koch were contracted by the British MoD to re-manufacture the L85A1 & L86A1 to "A2" standard. The upgrade prgramme which was fairly extensive has resulted in a product which is now "H&K" badged, i.e. the weapons carry the H&K logo.
The L85A2, L85A2UGL, L86A2 and the new L22A1 (Carbine for AFV crews) are officially H&K products
Ahhh, I see now. Thanks for the info DeltaWhisky58 and Wamba.
Thanks for the info DeltaWhisky58. I just had a general idea of the whole deal.
Is a good thing the H&K is back in German hands. Is hard to beat them or the Swiss making fine machinery. Nothing like the quality of a H&K or a SIG. In ergonomics the yanks are far better i.e. AR15/M16 systems.
Of course, just my personal point of view.
