Mission: HK rifles
Intelligence:
founded in Oberndorf, Germany in 1949, Heckler and Koch (pronounced “coke”) is a firearms manufacturer specializing in highly accurate,
|
exceedingly reliable guns. In fact, many of the world’s elite military units, from the US Navy Seals to Britain’s Special Air Service count on HK’s world renowned MP5 as their close quarters combat weapon. HK is also the maker of the high precision PSG1 sniper rifle. HK has a long proud history of originality, being the first to introduce the world to the use of polymers in weapon design, as well as pioneering the use of polygonal rifling, which extends barrel life as well as increases velocity. Initially, Edmund Heckler and Theodor Koch’s company set up shot in the remnants of the Mauser company, which was heavily bombed by the Allies during WW II, and produced machine tools, sewing machines, gauges and other precision tools. The company got a major break when, in 1956, they were asked to build a new rifle for the
|
 |
| Bundeswehr, the West German Federal Army of the time. Since then, HK has designed and produced more than 100 different models of firearms and various other gear and devices for the top military and law enforcement organizations in the world. The HK company motto is, “keine kompromisse!” (No Compromise), which conveys the company ethos of conveying accuracy, reliability, and ergonomics, without compromising one to promote another. If you need a high quality, precision firearm, you can’t go wrong with HK. |
