My dad works for the San Jose PD, and he was a member of their swat team(sharpshooter), and on a weekend here and there we get to play around with the HK series. /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif Like i said i am lucky. But sadly in a couple of months he will be retiring as a Lieutenant. I am hoping to go into the police force of a big city like this one and follow in my dads footsteps.

Anyway back to the HK series. They are beautiful guns, most have light kick to them great accurcy, i like single shot, but i thought full auto was killer.

just thought i would tell u all

if you're a kid, and you want to follow your dad's footsteps when u grow up ,Raven Shield is the best SWAT simulation game you can train with before the real thing :-)

For a slightly different perspective on (mostly) ground based combat, specifically soldiering, try Operation Flashpoint. Little to do with SWAT operations, as it's mostly combat at longer range, but an educational experience none the less.

You're the luckiest man i know if you got to fire a HK! Was it the MP5 or UMP?

We all love Heckler and Koch after all! /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif

To rush is to be insane. To get a rush from sniping isn't.

the MP5 is a dream to fire, high Rof than an Uzi, and much eaier t control (or at least i found) very nice peice of kit /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

as for simulation of SWAT training, though Raven shield is Good, for a SWAT team, your job is to protect human life, soRvS doen't realy follow that line of though (ducks the fecaes storm thats headed his way). It is however brilliant for tactics and realism with weapons (as real as it comes with a mouse and keyboard). But another good sim/fps would be SWAT3 (ducks another turd tordando). The command system is full of options to get the team to do what you want, and there is the challenge of trying to get the x-rays (tangos) to surrender befor you shoot them, also how you behave as an element (fireteam) leader, effects the respect you get from your team. But to save money, stick with RvS /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

Now wouldn't a G11 be fun to try? No one aside from some german troops and the engineers and test-firers at HK has though, so if someone says they have, prove it. Say you have in German!

Don't forget their origins, BTW. Alot of ex-muaser employees were what got HK started. For those who don't know, Muaser were Germany's main small-arms manufacturer during the 1940s. RE: Nazis. They've progressed alot since then, and as far as I know left the past behind, like most of Germany (aside from a small number of weirdos), but much of their early work is decended from things learned while working for Hitler. STG 44, world's first assualt rifle, was the making of Mauser, unless i'm mistaken, and the design appears to have been borrowed from in the AK-47, made by an old Russian war vet, first produced in 1947, hence the name. Of course, the AK isnt a HK, but one can nearly trace all of their firearms back by way of evolution to their first weapons. As usual, HKpro has the complete history of the company and alot about it's firearms. Only HK themselves would have a more complete story of the company's history.

I've nothing against Heckler & Koch, but I leave that moral whale to you to decide for youselves.

But if you look at their origins we've got some pretty dark ones across the Atalantic. Since of those who helped establish the CIA were in various Nazi intelligence outfits. Then comes our civil and military aerospace research that was based on German technologies and used some of their workers as the Soviets. Worse though was the immunity from prosecution given to the Japanese who tested, developed and used biological agents in order for them to hand over the research to the US Army.

YAY! another fellow Operation Flashpoint player. The guns in that game are more realistic, i mean with bullet drop, and weather problems...you are indeed very lucky!

for some reason when I read your post I keep thinking of a evil twin of you said that he can play with his dad's AK-47 somewhere in a cave in Afgan... *LOL*

[If the novel is like the game it would end in Chapter14 with a female voice saying "Mission failed. A hostage was killed"...]

I've fired multiple live rounds with the T-72M1's 125mm smoothbore cannon. All varieties (HE, HEAP and DS).

Does that count?

Following in your fathers footsteps is great, just make sure your doing it for you and not for him.

Operation Flashpoint 2 is coming out, but i dont think it will be as good as the first.

I acually have to disagree that raven-shield is the best SWAT sim. i'd reccomend Sierra's Swat series. well, mostly the first one. While it's old, it's the most realistic. the second one looks like a poor rip off of Command & Conquer. the third one, while entertaining, is more of a first person, shoot everything in sight. Like i said, not bad http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/784.gif, but not realistic http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

No offence, but i believe you are mistaken. The AK-47 is NOTHING like an STG-44, the only similarity is the appearance.
On tales of the gun (history channel) they interview the russian dude who made the AK (i forget his first name but his last was kalasnikov) saying how he hates how people accuse him of stealing, or copying the STG-44 design. If you stripped both of them down to every part, you would see the difference.

PS: it was probably a typo, but in your post it says the STG-44 was borrowed from the AK, which was impossible, seeing as the AK was designed in 47 and the STG in 44.

Just clarifying.

You could say I test fire weapon for H&K, but we never had a G11 prototype over here in Munich... And say in German- what exactly is the point in that? Can you even understand Deutsch, aber verstehen Sie nicht Deutsch?

I fire my G36 on full auto all the time- how do you fire yours? http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

As for modern HK firearms- they are totally unique- and anybody like me who has fired them and has a nice instruction manual to read over about the internal mechanisms can appreciate that!
