>H&K hk416
>h&k hk91
>h&k hk69
>h&k hk33

Why do they use "HK" twice? Are they full of themselves? Or does the HK stand for something in german?

http://www.heckler-koch.com/en/products/military/assault-rifles/hk416-a5/hk416-a5-145/overview.html

they list the model as the "hk416" not the "416" hell "Hk416" is stamped on the fucking receiver.

same goes for the hk91. stamped on the receiver. Stop with your retardery

>>29780476
Do they ever refer to it as an Heckler & Koch hk91?

If they don't, then the gun is an hk91, not an Heckler & Koch hk91.

More to prove you wrong.

You see the HK rollmark, and below it it's stamped HK 416. That's the official model name. HK has always used their name twice on a lot of rifles.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_HK41

Scroll down to the hk91 section. It's officially referred to as a Heckler and Koch hk91
>>
>>29780476
Yes, I know how this works. It is indeed HKxxx. I was saying that a gun is never designated as being H&K HKxxx.

>>29780519
Ofcourse they're going to put their logo on the gun, are you retarded? That's not part of the name dingus.

>>29780546

Wow, you sure showed me.

>>29780582
No one says "heckler and Koch hk91" like a robot. But it's official designation is indeed that. Maker: heckler and Koch. Model: hk91
>>
>>29780703
so they're not naming their guns twice.
>>
>>29780393

>Does the HK stand for something in German

Now I understand why people give me weird looks when I say I have a Heckler & Koch. People really don't know what HK stands for.
>>
>>29780729
The maker is heckler and Koch, and with the HK in the model name, which obviously stands for heckler and Koch, they are putting their name in the model name.

So my question is why? We already know who makes it. Do they put it there as a marketing thing?

The way I see it, 91 wouldnt really tie it back to HK, unless they put the HK prefix before it.

>>29780703
>>29780729
This is what I've been saying the whole time.

>>29780740
The names of the founders. Nothing really special.
>>
>>29780774
may as well ask why Armalite sold the Armalite Armalite Rifle 15 back in the day
>>
>>29780774
A lot of companies do that with their products.

Take Sikorsky for example, all of their helicopters are designated S-xx the S-70 is the black hawk.

I'm not saying it's special, I'm saying there seem to be people who don't know Heckler & Koch and HK are the same company.

My 870 is labeled "Remington 870" on the receiver, employees of Remington call it a "Remington 870" and it's listed as a "Remington 870" on the website. This does not mean it's called a "Remington Remington 870"
