Welp, if anybody can run a company into the ground, it's the British!
Them that likes HKs, like 'em a lot. On the other hand, I have never been partial to them.
HK started from IIRC MauserWerke who made the MG42 (or HK stole the design) I forget which. There is nothing about HKs that appeals to me. Now the MG42, on the other hand!
If the rumor is true, looks like Colt is going to try to corner the market on Assault Weapons, big time.
As far as the clunky HK pistols, I estimate they could be mass produced for about $25 apiece. Quite a nice profit margin compared to ol' slabsides which might cost $150 - $200 per unit. The HK assault rifles would be at least as cheap to produce as the AR15, so again, a big profit maker.
Me, I'll stick to my ol' COLT AR15s and Gummint Models.
