This would be my choice for a weapons load out if I were in a squad. As my assult rifle. [IMG]http://www.boomspeed.com/leechman/hk33a2.jpg[/IMG] HK33 had been developed by the German company Heckler und Koch in mid- to late 1960s as a scaled-down version of their G3 battle rifle, and entered production in 1968. HK33 was developed for then-new cartridge, 5.56x45mm (.223 Remington), and while it had not been adopted by German military, it saw significant use by some West Germany police and security units, and also widely exported, and used by Malaysia, Chile and Thailand armed forces. Since 1999, HK33 also manufactured under license in Turkey. HK33 is still in production in Germany by HK, and also served as a platform for further developments, such as G-41 assault rifle and HK53 compact assault rifle (known by the HK as submachine gun). As my close quaters weapon. [IMG]http://www.boomspeed.com/leechman/mp5k_r3_c2.jpg[/IMG] One of the worlds wide-spreaded SMGs, MP5 began its service in 1961 with Bundeswehr (West Germany Army) and other Germany law enforcement agencies. Today MP5 is adopted by many armies and law enforcement agencies, including US Army and Navy. MP5 is offered in following base configurations: A1 - without stock, A2 - with fixed polymer stock, A3 - with telescopic metal stock; SD1-SD3 - variants with integral silencers and stocks as in A1-A3 models; MP5N - US Navy model with 3-rounds burst mode and ambidextrous fire selector. MP5 is a recoil-operated, roller-delayed blowback select-fire weapon (overall design is very similar to HK G3 battle rifle). It fires from the closed bolt, thus achieving a good accuracy. Standart sights are select range peep-hole rear and pos front sights. MP5 may be equipped with night or scope sights, laser aiming devices, tactical lights (as shown on picture). Old variants of the MP5 had ported metal handguard and straight box magazines; Neves variants have polymer handguard and curved box magazines to ensure reliable feeding. For some time HK produced 10mm auto and .40SW versions of MP5, named MP5/10 and MP5/40, respectively, but now they are discontinued in favor of the newest HK UMP submachine gun. MP5's are rugged, reliable and accurate weapons, one of the best in this class. And last but not least my Pistol. [IMG]http://www.boomspeed.com/leechman/uspexpert_lg.jpg[/IMG] The HK USP (Universal Selbstlade Pistole in German, or Universal Self-loading Pistol), was initially designed in 9mm and .40SW variants and appeared on the scene in 1993. All USP pistols are built on the same modified Browning linkless locked breech action with patented recoil reduction system. USP has molded polymer frame with special grooves for quick mounting of laser aiming modules or tactical lights. Basic USP version was designed as a Police and Military handgun. One of the remarkable features of the USP is a wide variety of the trigger styles - total of 9 combinations are known, in DA or DAO, with or without manual safety and/or decocker. In 1995, HK presented USP in .45, mostly for the US market. First USP Compact handguns appeared in 1994, and are scaled down versions of the fullsize USPs. USP is a serious combat/self defence gun, but HK also designed a "sporting" versions of the USP - USP Match and USP Expert. USP Match has polygonal rifled barrel, O-ring and compensator, and tuned for target shooting. USP Expert, presented in 1998, is designed for serious European IPSC competitions, It has ajustable rear sight, extended barrel and slide and O-ring for better accuracy. Another thing is the USP Tactical. It is available only in .45ACP and is a "brother" to the SpecOps HK Mk.23 handgun. USP Tactical is similar to USP .45 except for leghtened barrel with threads (for mounting the silencer, same as on Mk.23), ajustable rear sights and match trigger. USP Tactical is a serious combat tool, no doubdt. Two wariations of the USP now adopted in Germany: the P8 - by Bundeswehr (German Army) and the P10 - by German Police. The P8 is a standart USP with specific features, such as safety/decocker lever and treansluscent plastic magaznes; The P10 is in fact a USP Compact. Both P8 and P10 are in 9x19mm Luger ((mm NATO) only. I am a very big guy so I would be able to carry these weapons and ammo with no problems. What would be you're choice for a weapons load out?
