Unlike FN, HK has been notably recalcitrant in manufacturing so-called "assault weapons" for the U.S. market since the ban ended over a year ago. FN is doing well here. HK could learn from their example.

Buy SWB stock!

Glad I dumped my HK-91A2 for $2,500.
Cetme has a clone for under $300.
Would you really want an XM8?
SWB?
I have a USP .40 that I really like. H&K makes a fine firearm. What I wouldn't give for an MP5!

Not me, really. But only cuz I think it looks funny ;-p
I bought a bunch of it back when the company changed hands. Got it for $.77 cents a share.
I just checked and it's at $4.53 per share as I'm typing this.......
Not bad at all.
Well now, THERE's a novel idea coming from the military!
Is it possible they're learning that the .308 is a better caliber for sniper rifles than .223 or smaller?
Smith & Wesson
Not as my main "go-to" gun, but just for the fun of owning one? Certainly.
At least it would be a lot easier to feed than that FN PS90 (with the Picatinny rail) I'm on the waiting list for...
Why don't they do that? I'd like one of those, too...
It's 2006, why go with 1950's technology? There are a half dozen military rifles I'd like to be able to get my hands on, but the HK9x series aren't among them. Heck, there are already thousands of clones available at bargain basement prices. Guns I'd like to be able to buy are: Sig 55x, Tavor, FNC, QBZ 95, FN SCAR, XCR.
Well...my list of "fun to own" guns is far longer then my list of guns that I would actually spend (my) money on. The XM8 wasn't my type of rifle but if I became disgustingly wealthy, and I still had money leftover from buying the things I really wanted, I might have bought a couple.
The more firearms ~ the better!
I have a buddy who has a beautiful FNC in mint condition. It has to win the prize for "highest empty brass ejection velocity" -- I was off to his right when he was shooting offhand one day and I still have the scars. $;-)
I have a USC .45 carbine. MP5 would be a lot more fun.
Ask an ye shall receive. I'm not a big fan on 9 milli sub guns but....this one was a dream to shoot.
