CN LIVE | Heckler & Koch: Because You Suck & We Hate You?

About this video

Colion interviews an HK representative who explains the company’s history and addresses common misconceptions about the brand. The representative shares that HK started in 1949 making sewing machine and bicycle parts before firearms, produced the first polymer striker-fired pistol (the VP70) before Glock, and developed the 416 rifle at the request of US Special Forces to improve upon a competitor’s design.

Key takeaways

• Colion learns that HK began as a manufacturer of sewing machine parts and precision tools in 1949, founded by former Mauser engineers, before entering firearms production with the G3 rifle in 1959
• Colion discusses his appreciation for the over-engineered USP platform and learns that HK developed the 416/MR556 at the request of US Special Forces by essentially placing a G36 operating system into an AR-15 style rifle
