We all know that German military equipment is very well-equipped, and police equipment is not bad. This issue will give you an inventory of the nine most commonly used firearms by German special police, all of which combine high performance and high appearance.
1, HK MP5 submachine gun
HK MP5 submachine gun is known as the "king of the world's micro-strike". It was developed by Heklekoch, Germany. It was released in the mid-1950s and has become one of the most commonly used submachine guns by Western military and police in the 1960s and 1970s.
The gun has strong human-machine effect, including guardrail, buttstock, and grip parts. They are all made of polymer materials, which are not only light in weight, but also easy to carry. The top of the receiver also has a fixed interface, which can facilitate the installation of scope and other tactical accessories, etc. The HK MP5 submachine gun produced after the 1990s also has a fish bone guide rail on the side of the receiver or guardrail, further increasing the expansion of the gun body.
The normal HK MP5 submachine gun fires 9×19 mm Parabellum pistol bullets. According to different user requirements, it also has a 0.40-inch caliber, and uses a 30-round magazine to supply ammunition. The theoretical rate of fire can reach 800 rounds per minute, and the effective range is about 150~200 meters. The shooting mode can also adjust single or continuous shots. The recoil during continuous shots is small and reliable. The excellent performance and high appearance of HK MP5 submachine gun are well-known in the world and are also a world-famous gun.
Since its birth in the 1950s, HK MP5 submachine gun has been adopted by military and police in most countries in the world, including Germany's special police force . The MP5 family has also derived dozens of models, including MP5A, MP5K and MP5SD series.
2, HK512 shotgun
For the shotgun used by Western special police, it is usually Thunderton M870 or Bernel M3/M4, etc., and I have rarely heard of the shotguns of the Heklekoch series, but this does not mean that there is no. In the last century, HK produced a No. 12 shotgun called HK512, also called "explosion-proof gun". This model is very rare and is mainly used for German special police teams and conventional police.
HK512 has a full gun length of 1020 mm, a barrel length of 463 mm, a full gun weight of 3.10 kg, and the guard and stock position are made of wood, firing No. 12×70 mm shotgun , a tube capacity of 7 rounds, and the type of ammunition can be selected by yourself, and HK512 is also a semi-automatic shotgun.
As early as the 1970s and 1980s, some equipment was used for special police, and now this kind of shotgun is becoming less and less common, and is basically replaced by the famous Bernelli or Thunderton series.
3, HK MP7 submachine gun
HK MP7 submachine gun is also called MP7 individual self-defense weapon . It was also developed by German Heklekoch and was released in the late 1990s. It was first adopted by German special forces and special troops in the early 21st century. Later, HK MP7 and derivative models began to face the world. In addition to a large number of special forces, German special police also adopted it in large quantities.
HK MP7 is completely different from a normal submachine gun. It fires 4.6×30mm ammunition. This bullet is lighter in weight and has a longer range than a normal 9mm pistol bullet. It has a low recoil. The most important thing is that it has strong penetration and can effectively destroy the current mainstream bulletproof vest . It can use 20 or 40 rounds of magazines to supply ammunition, with a theoretical rate of fire per minute of about 950~1,000 rounds, and an effective range of 200 meters.
gun body is also equipped with a modular design. The top and side of the receiver are equipped with Picatinny tactical guides, which can be conveniently installed in various tactical accessories. There is also a foldable small grip on the front, and the rear stock can also be retracted or expanded. When sucked, the total length of the gun is 380 mm, 590 mm when unfolded, and weighs 1.6 kg.
4 and HK416 assault rifle
HK416 As the most commonly used weapon of Western special forces today, it is also one of the best assault rifle in the world. Although it imitates the AR-type gun mechanism, its performance is ahead of the former, with higher accuracy, strong reliability, and low failure rate. It is trusted by military and police from all over the world, but its only feature is that it is expensive and cannot be equipped in large quantities.
HK416 assault rifle fires 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition, using 30 rounds of general magazines to supply ammunition. During combat, you can shoot a single point or fully automatic shooting. The theoretical rate of fire per minute is about 900 rounds, and the effective range is 450 meters. The top and side of the gun body are equipped with Picatinny rails, which is convenient for installing a series of tactical components such as scope, grip, grenade launcher , laser indicator or strong light flashlight.
This gun was launched in the early 21st century, and now it has derived A5, F, A6, A7, C and D. In addition to being adopted by the military, the German special police will also be equipped with different models of HK416 when they are generally present.
5, HK G36C assault rifle
HK G36C is the short barrel model of HK G36 assault rifle. The total length of the buttstock is 500 mm after being retracted, the stock is spread out to a 720 mm, and the baseline is lowered. The original sight is removed, and it is changed to a flat-top design, and it is equipped with a Picatinny guide rail, which makes it easy to flexibly equipped with different sights during combat.
HK G36C type also has a lighter weight. The grip, buttstock and receiver all use the engineering plastic structure, and some unnecessary designs have been removed. The weight of the empty gun is 2.8 kg. Because of the compact characteristics of the gun, it can better adapt to CQB combat or ride-hailing combat.
This gun also fires 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition, uses 30 rounds of polymer transparent magazines to supply ammunition, with a theoretical rate of fire per minute of about 750 and an effective range of 400 meters. HK G36C assault rifles are generally distributed to special forces for use, but some elite German special police and anti-terrorism forces usually also equipped the gun for missions.
6, HK USP tactical pistol
HK USP is also one of the world's famous pistols. I believe many people learned through the classic video game " Counter-Strike ". HK USP was developed by German Heklekoch from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, and began to equip German special police and special forces in the late 1990s, and later became the mainstream pistol of the world's special forces.
USP series is also divided into standard type, compact type, tactical type, expert type, competition type and elite type. In other words, it is not only aimed at the military and police, but also covers the civilian and competition fields. It is also divided into three caliber models: 9mm, 10mm and 11.43mm. However, the most common tactical type fires 9×19mm Parabellum pistol bullets and uses 15 rounds of magazines to supply ammunition.
This gun comes with a vertical interface, which can install a dedicated infrared laser indicator or strong light flashlight component under the base of the sleeve. The front end of the muzzle can also be equipped with a silencer. Until now, the HK USP tactical model is still one of the main pistols of the German Special Police.
7, HK PSG-1 semi-automatic sniper rifle
sniper rifle developed by Germany's Heklekoch for the police field. It was developed around the 1970s and was finalized and adopted in the early 1980s. Moreover, HK PSG-1 was also the most expensive sniper rifle in the world at that time, but the accuracy and performance of the gun are indeed excellent.
HK The basic structure of PSG-1 is roughly the same as that of HK G3 automatic rifle , such as the same roller locking, delayed recoil bolt, etc. The difference is that PSG-1 uses heavy barrel , modifying the guardrail and stock, and adding a separate tripod bracket, which is different from the normal sniper rifle.
This gun fires 7.62×51mm NATO full-power ammunition, which can use 5 rounds, 10 rounds or 20 rounds magazines to supply ammunition, with an effective range of 800 meters, with strong reliability and high accuracy. It was once used by special forces from Western countries. Until now, German special police are still equipped with HK PSG-1 semi-automatic sniper rifles.
8, DSR-1 sniper rifle
is a high-precision modular sniper rifle developed by German DSR Precision Company for the international police field. It has a strong sense of technology in appearance and adopts a supportless structure. The top of the gun body also has a Picatinny tactical guide rail, and titanium alloy, aluminum alloy and fiberglass are used as the main body of the gun body. This design can achieve the effect of reducing weight.
DSR-1 can fire standard 7.62×51mm NATO ammunition, or 7.62×67mm Winchester Magnum ammunition, 8.6×70mm or 8.58×70mm Lapu Magnum ammunition. Different calibers can be suitable for different mission environments or different user requirements.
This gun can be equipped with two magazines at the same time during combat. The rear is mainly for supplying ammunition, and the front is a spare. A double-leg stand can be attached through the guide rails, and different types of white light or night vision scopes are equipped with different types of white light or night vision scopes according to different tasks. However, the gun is not a semi-automatic weapon and uses a rotating rear pull bolt. The DSR-1 sniper rifle has now been used by German special police and special police from other European countries.
9, HK VP9 pistol
HK VP9 is a modular semi-automatic pistol launched by Heklekoch for international police use. The design follows the style of HK P30 pistol , such as the locking structure, polymer sleeve base, and the integrated Picatinny guide rail .
The gun has a very beautiful appearance. The grip part is also combined with ergonomic design and has delicate anti-slip particles. It can also replace the rear guard, which can better match the hand shape of different users.
This gun fires 9×19 mm Paraberum pistol bullets, uses 15 rounds of double-row magazines to supply ammunition, with an effective range of 50 meters and a barrel life of 90,000 rounds.
