What an amazing piece of engineering. This really is quite unique, and that barrel swap is genius. Thank James for this video on my new favorite HK.

It is also in limited use in a german law enforcement role: The german customs boats mount one for warning shots in the case of intercepting smugglers (never heard of the actually using one) and the armored vehicles employed by the federal police for airport security can mount them.

I‘d been really curious about these for a while but it’s quite difficult to find any information. Many thanks!

The design originally also had a 7.62x39 option too.

@teufelshundtactical 11 ай бұрын

Indeed they did for the original HK21, but that did not progress with the later models.

Caliber change sounds like a good option for multinational operations

Extremely interesting, thank you!

Thanks! I would've love to seeing this gun built in a new cartridge in 6.8x51, 6.5 creedmoor or even in 6 creedmoor. I think the E guns still had lots of life in the design, and was way ahead of the times, but I understand time to move on with the new HK MG5/121.

You know that is actually a good idea

WOW!! As a passive H&K fan, I never knew about this variant of the HK21... Very interesting setup. I like that it has the upper receiver reinforcing bars and the forward assist carried over from the HK PSG/MSG 1. It'd be interesting to see what this thing is capable of for accuracy with the appropriate optic. Seems like a very capable, all around weapon that is very good at a lot of things, though maybe not great at any of them... If money and the legal aspect were not a roadblock, I'd have a hard time choosing between the G8 and a DMR variant of the MR417/MR762 with the steel upper receiver, accurized 20" barrel and the tuned trigger group.

It was very cool to see this in person at WOFT thank you for sharing your knowledge on the firearm

What is interesting - this MG belt-fed version allows fast AR-like reload. You pull the loading handle, hold the MG with 1 hand, open the storage, grab the wedged belt with another hand and push the wedge into the port till it clicks, then put the remaining part of the belt into storage. Then close the storage, do HK slap and voila, you have new belt in.

When are the parts kit going to be available?

@steeledickmann1672 11 ай бұрын

I think it would be awesome to have a quick change barrel on a magazine fed PTR 91. For no other reason than it's unique and cool.

No really into machine guns, but this is pretty cool.

Hi herd so much good things about g3 and g21, from my veteran father, that fought in Africa for Portugal, that only now I can fully understand, at the time I joke with Him saying that the G3 an G21 were old...., well he was 100 correct, for change 😂😂😂.Wherever he is I hope to meet him again.

Could you do a video on the G8 that was submitted to the marine dmr program in the late 80s or early 90s?

@teufelshundtactical 11 ай бұрын

I’m not sure what you are referring to. In the late 70s, a variant of the HK23 was provided for the SAW trials. It lost out to the FN Minimi due to cost. In the late 80s, the MSG90 was provided to the Marine Corps as a specialist rifle, but again was not selected due to cost.
