Made possible through unprecedented access to the collections of Heckler & Koch Germany and Heckler & Koch USA, along with numerous private collections from around the globe, Vickers Guide: Heckler & Koch (Volume 4) tells the story of the development and production of the next-generation rifles and machine guns following the roller-delayed blowback weapons covered in Volume 3. This volume starts with an in-depth look into the space-age G11 rifle, and its complement of caseless ammunition, which was built for a modernized West German military. We then transition to the G36-series of rifles, which would set the stage for the following decades of production, procurement, and subsequent rifle designs, including the U.S. Army XM8, HK416/417 series, and HK433 series. Along the way, this book dives into precision rifle variants of the above, along with the MG4 and MG5 machine guns and 40 mm grenade launchers.
This Fourth Volume of Vickers Guide: Heckler & Koch includes detailed photographs and commentary for the G11, G36, MG36, HK237, SL8, HK243, XM8, HK416, G38, G95, MR223, MR556, HK417, MR308, MR762, HK433, G28, M110A1, MG4, and MG5, along with a large number of variants of these models. Additionally, this Fourth Volume details the grenade launchers produced during the era covered by this book, including the AG36, EGLM, GLM, XM320, M320, HK169, HK269, and the venerable GMG (Grenade Machine Gun). Finally, we touch on three miscellaneous weapons that each have an interesting story to tell: the L85 A2, L85 A3, and the Objective Infantry Combat Weapon (or OICW). Featuring just over 100 different firearms, with numerous additional accessories, Vickers Guide: Heckler & Koch (Volume 4) gives the reader a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse into some of the most significant Heckler & Koch rifles, machine guns, and special purpose weapons produced during the modern era. For the production of this book, Larry Vickers and James Rupley have teamed up with renowned firearms instructor and HK expert James Williamson of Teufelshund Tactical, as well as a number of other subject matter experts, whose cumulative insights allow for an extraordinary and unparalleled presentation.
Vickers Guide: Heckler & Koch (Volume 4) presents this highly curated collection of firearms in never-before-seen detail on larger than life, wide format, full color prints in a premium hardback form. Vickers Guide: Heckler & Koch is the next best thing to having these exceptional collector’s grade firearms in your own personal collection.
