Very cool to see innovation still existing in a marketplace that has been so heavily optimized!

The open-bolt/slide mechanism is very cool from an engineering and design perspective, but does in fact have a tendenc...

It is so widely praised, in fact, that H&K's efforts to replace it with less expensive polymer submachine guns have largely failed, as their customer si...
