@GabeLakmann @nugger HK sucks ass, it’s only 80’s SOF nostalgia that keeps their brand in the premium column. Every product they have is 5 to 15 years behind the curve, they simply don’t have the same need to keep up like the industry here does.
Euros, krauts, and their ilk are benchrest shooters, so all their civilian spec stuff is geared towards a single stack, 10-rd POS with heavy ass quad rails and dopey ergonomics. (they just love those dumb 11-oz rubber pads on everything) It took them what, like, a full 6 years to switch from their faggy bespoke HK-keymod to normal, lightweight Mlok? And they refused to widen their magwell to standard AR spec for more than a decade so you’d buy their $50 steel mags? (Thank the USMC for ending that, I assume)
Don’t even get me started on retardo boomers bragging about paying $500 for “genuine HK416 forgings” so they can build the ultimate bin laden rifle. The whole thing is just another boomer bubble, HK is resting on its laurels from the old days.
