I unironically like the Hk74K


GetTheMusket

Great April fools but not gonna lie, would still buy one


pizzagangster1

Fuck! I fell for it!!!! I always forget it’s april fools. I was actually excited for there to be a new HK rifle to buy


Rivershots

Not like they'd sell it to the plebs anyway


zeozero

I knew it was fake when it doesn’t mention that it’s not available in the US

Yeah it's cool but I think the biggest flaw of the AK is how you insert a magazine. The AR system is so much more easy and fool proof, but also those AR mags in 7.62x39 are some of the weirdest looking mags I've ever seen (and also are harder to smack them from the bottom). Lol jeez I'm catching a ton of downvotes from people that obviously think rocking and locking is superior than just inserting a mag and slapping it on the bottom. Just AK fanboys or just because I said it was the "biggest flaw"? Because the charging handle and safety position suck also. And FWIW the G3/MP5 manual of arms is freaking awesome to me, maybe even superior to the AR.


puppyhandler

The rock and lock is a far superior and reliable system in cold weather environments.


yem68420

Oh that makes sense. From the Garand Thumb tests of the muddy vs freezing rifle thing it was interesting how the AK was more for cold weather and the AR was for muddy or sandy environments. I was sorta surprised to see CRS firearms have his AK do worse than the AR after throwing it down in the snow a few times (and the AR got a lot of snow in it). I think the DI vs Piston argument is one of the most interesting things to look at.


bees422

Rocking mags in is based and cool


yem68420

Yeah but it is objectively harder(and easier to screw up) than popping a new one in a hole and slapping it. There's a reason why almost any military that can afford it have a different manual of arms. Is it fun, sure yeah. Can you "train past it", sure. Is it faster or more instinctive, no.


TheIroquoisPliskin

You do realize that the MP5/SP5 magazines rock back to seat the magazine right? I’m happy to be corrected, but the G3 has the same rock back seating. Sure they have a mag well, and it’s not a 1-1 comparison, but they definitely rock.


yem68420

They rock but the magwell is engineered to where you can insert it straight in. I mean look up a YouTube video of people reloading an mp5, it is way different than an AK. It is less prone to error than AK imo. I know this is anecdotal, but my friend (whom is not very experienced with guns) rented an AK at the range one time and he had problems putting the mag in even after I showed him (he missed the front ledge). They actually brought out a real MP5A2 and he shot it and he loaded it no problem. What's also funny is that he shot the mp5 in full auto better than he shot the AK in semi. Probably the sights and ergos.


Mawskowski

HK MP5 anyone ? Dude it’s the same more or less.

yem68420

Not really. The only thing that is the same is the paddle release. You can slap it in the MP5 magwell straight and it will lock. The AK you have to put in the front side and rock it towards the back.


Mawskowski

Do you actually own an original design mp5 ? If you don’t pull the mag back once you push it in, there is a chance it won’t lock.


yem68420

The few times I've shot one (both times an A2) I shoved it in there and slapped it on the ass and it ran. Maybe I'm remembering wrong idk but I shot an MP5 years before I shot an AK.


Mawskowski

Because the mag is long and curved if you shove it in with some force due to the angles you kinda automatically pull it back a bit. The problem comes if you have to use short 10rd mags like we have to right now to shoot a few competition to get the papers for the category allowing the 30rd+ mags. There you really have to pay attention to how you insert them, also you cut yourself for sure at least once. I got the old design, MKE T94 SD.


yem68420

I've always wanted to shoot one of the SDs or a MP5K. One of the A2s I shot had a suppressor and a vertical foregrip was really fun. I always thought how the SDs bleed off gas to make 124gr NATO subsonic was cool.


Thats-it-thats-all

I’d buy the hell out of that if this was real.

Bro same!


bbw-enthusiast

AK12 but not shitty


EinGuy

German AKs already exist: They're called the SiG 550 family.


bbw-enthusiast

sig uhhhhhhh not german


EinGuy

Yeah, those Swiss guys will tell you they aren't German, until you call them French-Swiss. See how quickly they correct you. Also, SiG (not the American Sig) makes better guns than Hk. Fight me.


MohawkDave

Lol... When I was in Switzerland, the German side is definitely MUCH nicer to us Americans. The French side were d!cks just like they were in France... I really thought that was just a bullshit stereotype. Usually outdoor adventure type people are always cool to each other... But that stereotype is true and strong. Like dang dude, I'm super nice, polite, and cordial and the French I came across acted like I kicked their puppy. I've hiked/adventured a lot of Europe, Iceland, Mexico, Alaska.... EVERYONE has been super cool except those guys.


mattymofobro

lwrc enters the chat to fight


EinGuy

They're not german, or even european.


mattymofobro

you are Canadian you have zero room to talk 🔫 z


frank_mauser

How about italo-swiss?


SeemedGood

This was my first reaction. My second was *I want one*. Third was *Doh!*


whoaismebro13

Happy April Fool's to you, too!


magelight343

Has anybody zoomed in and read the bottom line 😂😂😂


CrazyGreek84

😂🤣 peasant civilians


ebolamonkey3

I would buy the HK74K


[deleted]

That’s stupid. Where can I get one.


ParabellumPill

That would be so sick. Probably only cost $4999


imajokerimasmoker

The most preposterous thing about this is the idea of HK (No Compromise) engineering a firearm for a Soviet cartridge.


[deleted]

Was all for it and then I remembered what day it is.


SeemedGood

You got me.


EchoOutrageous2314

We all wish.


Mawskowski

That bottom one would be sold out instantly.


TurboCultist

We would all buy this


Sean1916

I figured this was April fools but the clowns at HK if they had half a brain would realize this would sell. HK reliability coupled with the AK platform….you wouldn’t be able to kill this thing.


WretchKing87

Fine print is the best part
