hey retard, civilian sales come second to military contracts that guarantee tens of thousands of purchases at once. civilian sales are also beholden to both US and German import and export laws. if they could get away with selling you an MP7, they would

It just doesn't like the American market. It used to, but after being the only large company that stood up to the AWB it's been getting fucked with by the government every time it wanted to import anything and got tired of it.
HK isn't really fucked by the German government, the two times it tried it got BTFO'd by them in the courts. The US government has been very successful at fucking with them though.
This is the cope but you can 100% get around this problem by building a factory in the US. Hence why FN doesn't fuck the consumers anywhere near as badly.

The TDP and parents are still German and subject to export controls.
HK is stuck in a Catch-22. They can manufacture guns in Germany and apply for export license, but getting foreign production of weapons destined for the military is a no-no. On the other hand, the US import restrictions block most of their designs from being brought over without all the sporting purpose bullshit and denial features.
In three lines they made a more appropriate "we fucked up" response than most companies. Clearly stated that HK will not participate in identity politics, that the person who tried to pull them in violated HK's internal rules, and that something has been done.
PR rep who ran the Twitter account had a big embarrassing meltdown about gun bunnies and booth babes in general stating that "as a woman" she didn't like them, while also supporting bud light. Then pictures of a HK marketing head being a bikini modeler herself (pic related) started surfacing, the fact that HK has had a story in using gun bunnies, and the budd light thing made HK scrub private the account and scrub Twitter clean, before just a few minutes ago posting OP's pic. Basically HK woke controversy began and ended in one day

I admit that I'm a foreigner and that I've been too busy to really keep track of what's going on America besides the basics.
What exactly caused Bud Light to have such a financial meltdown. Apparently they hired a chud however I'm not sure why that specifically was such a landmine for Bud Light.
Cheap redneck beer with a million competitors that people drink only out of habit put a giant screaming chud face right on every can, so you have to look at it every time you drink.
I hope you can figure out how that became a problem.

Because it was an apology of sorts. HK is tacitly acknowledging that criticizing your place in society and the treatment of others is outside the bounds of acceptable behavior from their employees acting in an official capacity.
As I said, I don't believe she said anything out of line, but I'm not an overly sensitive person and I don't sell things to overly sensitive people.

This is why I say HK has contempt for civilian gun ownership. They do not give a fuck about the civilian market and they sell them trash tier slop like this. They'll sell all their top end shit to LE though.
they are good goys who serve their masters well, and for that they have been rewarded handsomely with decades of government contracts.
>German government hamstrings HK >HK HATES CIVILIAN GUN OWNERSHIP NEVERMIND THAT THEY CONSTANTLY TRY TO GET SHIT TO THE CIVILIAN MARKET
Do you even think about the shit you think?
If they cared enough they could have moved their operations to another country so they wouldn't be hamstrung by the German government, they just decide not too.
>moves to Czechia or whatever >still gets fucked by US import laws >starts factory in the US >hires morons and gets bought out by garden gnomes >goes the way of SIG
HK isn't really fucked by the German government, the two times it tried it got BTFO'd by them in the courts. The US government has been very successful at fucking with them though.
Hmm, be unable to satisfy american consumers but still be able to supply the fag reich as the only relevant domestic manufacturer left in the country or say fuck all of that, pack your bags for a one way trip to moronland just to get cucked by anti-gun faglawmakers and have your soul ripped out in offering to a garden gnome God.

What other relevant German manufacturers are there?
Walther? They make OK pistols and licensed HK .22s
Haenel? Bolt guns for hunting and their foray into tacticool has largely failed
Anschutz? Hunting and competition rifles
HK is about the only “relevant” gun manufacturer in Germany that isn’t a niche company.
What does HK actually sell anymore that's cutting edge for police / military? >HK416 is overpriced AR larp (gas pistol is gay.) Marines are stupid for adopting the M27. >MP7 is outdated and unsupported larp. >MP5 is antique larp. >UMP45 sucks ass.
I guess the M320 is okay?
Their civilian pistols are underwhelmingly just okay. Their civilian rifles are cucked. SP5 is an exception to the rule. Broke 4chinners cope.
Honestly surprised they even gave a shit considering they are basically kept afloat by the German government as a state run company in all but name and don't even care about their civilian customers or need their money.
Is this the first time a large company has punished a retarded leftoid marketer or social media monkey instead of doubling down or pretending it didn't happen?
I don't think it's the first, but it is notable since gun companies have been getting some infiltration from fudds who usually have opinions of appeasing woke retardation, so to see a well known company like HK openly resist is big

Whether it's "I just wanna grill" boomers or "I just wanted to play video games" Gamergaters, the modern man, the mental cripple that is to say, wants nothing more than to happily consume, and you may do whatever you like to him or anyone else as long as he is content and fed and entertained. You may cripple his children, poison his land, skin his neighbor alive, you may build a guillotine around his neck one piece at a time, and not only will he never complain, but he will defend you, he would kill to protect you, he will give you every cent he earns, and sacrifice anything to you, as long as you keep feeding him.
And the best part, if you ever displease him, if you ever invoke his wrath, all you have to do is apologize, and all is blissfully forgiven. Saw off his foot as he thrashes while you tell him you've been waiting to kill him all this time, and he will scream and rage and attack you up until the second you apologize and go back to feeding him. And it doesn't matter how often you do it! Cut him a thousand times and apologize a thousand times and he will be as loyal and content as on day one.
Even while they're being tortured, even after everything about their enemy is laid bare and obvious, they'll mill around miserably saying "I wish you'd just go back to feeding me", begging to forgive you.

Then why were changes made? Clearly the dumb bitch fucked up.
Lol has the bud situation really made companies that market towards anyone other than liberals gunshy? If so God bless the pisswater drinkers
Maybe but Germans are already are autistic. Safer to shut it down than for them to try to navigate american culture.
Why? Bud only made more money since the "fiasco". Their sales were literally up.
>Bud only made more money since the "fiasco". Their sales were literally up.
I see your main board is PrepHole since youre retarded fiscally
I'm sure you believe nonsense like "people are the happiest they've ever been" huh?
One of the first things they teach you in stats courses is that stats are hilariously easy to fabricate, and if you believe every one you see on the web, you're a pigeon.

>The company’s flagship Budweiser brand took an 11.4% sales hit for the week ended April 29. Sales of Anheuser-Busch’s Michelob Ultra brand — the third-biggest-selling in the U.S. behind No. 1 Bud Light and No. 2 Modelo Especial — were down 4.4%, according to Bump Williams data.
>“It’s not just a Bud Light issue,” said Bump Williams, chief executive of the consultancy. “It’s an Anheuser-Busch portfolio problem now.”

This sounds funny, does anybody have a screengrab of the posts?
I admit that I'm a foreigner and that I've been too busy to really keep track of what's going on America besides the basics.
What exactly caused Bud Light to have such a financial meltdown. Apparently they hired a chud however I'm not sure why that specifically was such a landmine for Bud Light.
Cheap redneck beer with a million competitors that people drink only out of habit put a giant screaming chud face right on every can, so you have to look at it every time you drink.
I hope you can figure out how that became a problem.
PR rep who ran the Twitter account had a big embarrassing meltdown about gun bunnies and booth babes in general stating that "as a woman" she didn't like them, while also supporting bud light. Then pictures of a HK marketing head being a bikini modeler herself (pic related) started surfacing, the fact that HK has had a story in using gun bunnies, and the budd light thing made HK scrub private the account and scrub Twitter clean, before just a few minutes ago posting OP's pic. Basically HK woke controversy began and ended in one day

>oh wait they're firing all their gay mouthpieces like Don "just fuck my ass raw and give me AIDS" Lemon

They make guns, the media hates them already.
This was the best possible thing they could have done.
>supporting bud light
It was the opposite.
It's a retard who spammed PrepHole with hk threads and that one HAHAHAHA thread with this same image. The woman wasn't apart of it but she said something about budlight and he interpreted that as bad. Even though all she said was that it tasted like shit and a woman is a woman.
>apology
Where? I see regretless statements. It comes off as a defensive cop out if anything.
>we have rules. the rules were broken, therefore we are not at fault.
But we don't know if they had those rule before now, in fact the last line implies they did not. Which would make the first two statements lies.
I've seen discussions that that is not the one who made the tweet. Why would an executive/director be on twitter? That's a lowly job.
>>we have rules. the rules were broken, therefore we are not at fault.
it worked after the war why not now?
H&K founders were down in fascist Spain when the war ended.
They were in Germany, then France and then Spain.
Learn BR history, moron.
I'm pretty sure Heckler, Koch, and Seidel stayed in Obendorf after the war, "borrowed" a bunch of stuff from the Mauser factory after the French destroyed Mauser's records to start their own engineering company, then the CETME team (who had also been Mauser engineers in Obendorf before the war ended) working on the STG-45 licensed them the design but continued living and working in Spain for CETME.
>they were in Spain
>nuh uh they were in Spain
???
I'm not sure anything that was said requires an apology.
I don't think so either, I'm just nooticing how many people think that was an apology. 90% of their twitter responses think it was an apology too and are now happily on board once again, but no resolution was made public.
Ideally what I want to know is that the specific offending hole was reprimanded, if not fired. I don't need lip service from Globocorp #2841.
They're mostly apologizing to the braindead politically brain gooped retards of twitter. Or at least the ones that are more right leaning in their neck of the woods on twitter.
>apologizing
Did this take place in another tweet?
NTA but what the fuck would they apologize for you subhuman tripfagging moron?
An employee broke their rules and was punished for it, that happens but it clearly wasn't company policy.
They didn't apologize. Don't know where you read I said they should have. In fact I said the opposite.
Maybe you should stop being an autistic moron about it then.
Here's a definition since you got even that wrong:
1.
a regretful acknowledgement of an offence or failure.
Holy fuck, you autistic tripmoron, like shit, just shut the fuck up you pedantic little nit. I hope your keyboard your HDD dies unexpectedly and you have to spend time backing up all your gun photos that you use as validation of self worth to the rest of us retards.
The apology is the tweet itself.
No pedantry here, there is no regret in the tweet. I explained why here
It's worded in order to NOT be an apology.
HK does not apologize to the peasantry. PSA does for their clientel.
>No pedantry here, there is no regret in the tweet
You stupid fuck.
Now look up what regret means.
Apologies mean HK did something wrong
They didn't, they fixed the problem when it arose that violated internal policies like companies are meant to, and quickly too.
>It's worded in order to NOT be an apology.
Good. Apologies are overrated, they should fire her and move on. Which it seems is exactly what they are doing.
>Ideally what I want to know is that the specific offending hole was reprimanded, if not fired. I don't need lip service from Globocorp #2841.
they implied heavily that she was reprimanded or fired but they can't actually say that publicly or risk a hostile work environment/civil rights lawsuit, and given that the offending hole is an offending hole, she'll probably be calling a lolyer the moment someone expects her to conduct herself with the barest possible minimum standards
Because it was an apology of sorts. HK is tacitly acknowledging that criticizing your place in society and the treatment of others is outside the bounds of acceptable behavior from their employees acting in an official capacity.
As I said, I don't believe she said anything out of line, but I'm not an overly sensitive person and I don't sell things to overly sensitive people.
What should they be apologizing for?
Why should they fire their PR person for being right?
Not sending Burt a liter of Bepsi and 2 large fries. Anything less is an insult.
What an insult, I can't believe you'd say something like that...
Pepsi is DISGUSTING.
I love dutch bros
All I want is a real HK416 upper.
Wonder if that chick did human growth hormone? She has a rather large jaw.
i'm guessing she did anavar at some point.
In my college group there were two chicks with jaws that could cut down phillistines.
It's a miracle neither of them needed Mandibular osteotomy
I would never hack it as a surgeon, holy shit.
>last picture

When I went to BCT, there was a chick named Vanhorn and she looked like a horse and a pug had a bipedal love child
guns and bimbos are possibly the two best things on this earth. Why would anyone be opposed to this combination?
They're better separate. I don't need to see random bimbos when I'm looking at guns and it encourages coomerism.
But this bitch didn't oppose it for that reason. She opposed it because feminism so it's good they fired her
>while also supporting bud light
She didn't support bud light and called the chud not a real woman.
>*coughs up old cum* hey, now that I'm 30+ and still unmarried with no kids because I don't know how to keep a man happy, don't be objectifying women! *hooks up with another desperate guy and pisses him off so he leaves too*
Next step : I want to see a firing squad (obviously equipped with HK rifles) emptying their magazines on that tired-eye whore
The amount of buyer's remorse HK fag cope in this thread is and will be incredible.
>Buyers remorse
That was yesterday, if anything there will be sellers remorse for all the retards that gave away their guns thinking they were fighting against "wokeness"
Incredible cope, as predicted
>N-NO YOUR COPING!
I have a gun from a company that beat wokiggers. It's not like I own a Ruger

This is why I say HK has contempt for civilian gun ownership. They do not give a fuck about the civilian market and they sell them trash tier slop like this. They'll sell all their top end shit to LE though.
they are good goys who serve their masters well, and for that they have been rewarded handsomely with decades of government contracts.
>German government hamstrings HK
>HK HATES CIVILIAN GUN OWNERSHIP NEVERMIND THAT THEY CONSTANTLY TRY TO GET SHIT TO THE CIVILIAN MARKET
Do you even think about the shit you think?
It's literally one guy who is assmad that HK is now the undisputed most based for throwing off their PR bitch
If they cared enough they could have moved their operations to another country so they wouldn't be hamstrung by the German government, they just decide not too.
>moves to Czechia or whatever
>still gets fucked by US import laws
>starts factory in the US
>hires morons and gets bought out by garden gnomes
>goes the way of SIG
HK isn't really fucked by the German government, the two times it tried it got BTFO'd by them in the courts. The US government has been very successful at fucking with them though.
Hmm, be unable to satisfy american consumers but still be able to supply the fag reich as the only relevant domestic manufacturer left in the country or say fuck all of that, pack your bags for a one way trip to moronland just to get cucked by anti-gun faglawmakers and have your soul ripped out in offering to a garden gnome God. I wonder which option is preferable?
HK is just making the best of a bad situation.
>only relevant domestic manufacturer left in the country
>Germany
>only one relevant gun manufacturer
Is this moron for real?
This is what happens when newmoron tourists aren't gatekept, jesus Christ
>use a bunch of buzzwords and pretend I’ve been here longer than a year: the post
What other relevant German manufacturers are there?
Walther? They make OK pistols and licensed HK .22s
Haenel? Bolt guns for hunting and their foray into tacticool has largely failed
Anschutz? Hunting and competition rifles
HK is about the only “relevant” gun manufacturer in Germany that isn’t a niche company.
What does HK actually sell anymore that's cutting edge for police / military?
>HK416 is overpriced AR larp (gas pistol is gay.) Marines are stupid for adopting the M27.
>MP7 is outdated and unsupported larp.
>MP5 is antique larp.
>UMP45 sucks ass.
I guess the M320 is okay?
Their civilian pistols are underwhelmingly just okay. Their civilian rifles are cucked. SP5 is an exception to the rule. Broke 4chinners cope.
The M320A1 is a massive piece of shit. I’ve never met anyone who prefers it over the M203
It's US import laws that fuck things up. Look at the difference between an hk mr556 sold in the US and a mr223 sold in the EU
>the round is colloquially known as 5.56(mm) in america
>its referred to as .223 remington in europe
>>its referred to as .223 remington in europe
No it isn't.
two different rounds
Back to your containment general or post proofs.
>unironically linking the svd thief
I might go buy one of these now
>WARNING REFER TO OWNERS MANUAL
>just scan the QR code on the side of your gun's barrel for the manual
Honestly surprised they even gave a shit considering they are basically kept afloat by the German government as a state run company in all but name and don't even care about their civilian customers or need their money.
Fuck?
They apologized?
But I already threw my SCAR-L in the river
Damn bro, that sucks
Anyway, would you know how to get river silt out of a SCAR-L bolt?
Is this the first time a large company has punished a retarded leftoid marketer or social media monkey instead of doubling down or pretending it didn't happen?
Usually companies double down, then realise they fucked up bad, and only THEN do they fire their marketing team
Whatever happened to the Gillette cunt?
They did what HK seemed to initially do and what m&m did, wipe all evidence from the face of the earth and pretend like nothing happened
Did something happen? Last I saw was some Indian cunt on TV looking smug because her commercial got all the attention she could've dreamed of.
>Did something happen?
Billions of dollars of lost shekels.
I don't think it's the first, but it is notable since gun companies have been getting some infiltration from fudds who usually have opinions of appeasing woke retardation, so to see a well known company like HK openly resist is big
HK knows better since their average civilian client is anti-woke
>anti-woke
Sleepy
Left is anti gun. Everything left is the enemy.
except college art hoes. those are fun to destroy
>Company does something stupid
>Their usual client base tells them it's stupid
>Instead of doubling down to game their ESG scores, they just admit it was dumb and won't happen again
Alright, we cool.

You love to see it
I don't think you understand, anon, their rep also dissed trans people
She really tried to piss off EVERYONE
Never forget anyone who exposes themselves as lefty. Remember they only stopped out of fear.
If ugly women are so "beautiful- like everyone is beautiful" why isn't it sexist if they are in the ads?
Yeah you might want to look at the stock drop for Anheuser-Busch
Insane amounts of cope, unprecedented. HK fags staked their entire personality on overpriced antiquated shit and are now broken men.
Nice try HK but I, a poorfag Kel-tec owner will not forgive you until you issue a full throated apology and wipe the baby carrots and apple sauce from my chin and give me a hug
You shut your mouth anon, Kel-tec is a respectable company that makes acceptable firearms.
Lel-kek is a gimmicky company that caters to people whose idea of shooting is blasting 100rds at an old TV before leaving all their trash and fucking off back to their trailer park/low-income housing.
Are you lonely because you're so judgemental? They make nifty things. You're allowed to enjoy nifty things even if they're not good. How much happiness do you deny yourself?
>t.tvshooter
I can safely say I've never shot at appliances
I have shot at cans, and one time, a belt. My innawoods target stand is made of PVC pipe bits that breaks down into a camp chair bag.
>I have shot at cans
I almost exclusively shoot at cans. They're the most fun target.
Especially when hung from strings by the pull-tab.
amen, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Sounds based. Now I want to befriend a Kel-Tec fag
that kind of pampering is a perfectly acceptable apology

Woke capitalism makes me wish the Soviet Union won the Cold War at times. It’s bad enough that historical revisionism in new Call of Duty and battlefield games implies Nazi Germany was dominated by black female officers.
We must protect Mr. Fraser at all costs.

it's cute that you think woke capitalism isn't the result of 60 years of soviet demoralization.
Capitalism is just communism with extra steps

It’s not just /co/ being /co/. Mods on /co/ allow threads sexualizing the powerpuff girls yet they will ban anyone posting about China being the biggest investors in ESGs until they started to pull out recently.
>Mods on /co/ allow threads sexualizing the powerpuff girls yet they will ban anyone posting about China
>Sexualizing the Powerpuff girls
But why? I don’t even think /a/ and PrepHole would do that. They don’t even have fingers. That’s like being too much of a boy lover for the Catholic Church.
/co/ are a bunch of closest e-boi-lovers. Wait, scratch that, they’ll sexualize anything that they can. Look at the Eli storytimes, or even worse, the Arthur porn discussion threads. I mean hell, just two weeks ago there was a thread for posting scenes you fapped to from cartoons as a kid (hopefully).
/co/umblr folks randomly defends donating to Antifa. You don’t see 4chan donating to the KKK. At least openly.
The KKK is 5 rednecks in a corn field, 2 of them are Sheriffs from 2 different counties, 1 is local PD, 1 is FBI and 1 is DEA that got lost
KKK operates on a bedsheet budget.
Ba-dum-tss.
The fuck am I looking at? I’m not sure even PrepHole this degenerate.
yeah im thinking manufactured drama
Swear to god these hk threads are like an average thread on /v/. It starts off fine and then the tread gets brigaded by one guy having a shitfit over something
Because there is always one person who basically hates HK just because their is nothing really objectively to hate about them. It's like people who unironically hate Berettas or 1911s
Pretty sure /co/ also fucks with /v/ threads every time a billion-dollar publisher has a PR nightmare. /co/ especially loves blizzard entertainment and Sony for some reason. Despite Sega and Nintendo made /co/ related animated series and comics.
Actually a based response from a company instead of a driveling non-apology.
>bought a p30sk literally last week and love it

>There is even a thread today where /co/ being ass is blasted over the Mario movie being popular with Mexicans.
/co/umblr hates Mexicans for loving anime/manga and rejecting Latinx political correctness. Simple as. irony,With zero irony /co/ is far more racist than 4chan. Especially when Latinos and blacks speak out against woke shit. 4chan at least more racially diverse than Antifa. While /co/ white as fuck.
>a bunch of ugly mutts from PrepHole
lmao, using latinx is fun because latinx get so mad and cant do anything IRL about it buy seethe
Anyone else bugged by so called anti-racists being so white compared to the so called literal Nazis which are multicultural?
Nothing brings people of all races and creeds together (with the one notable exception) quite like anti-semitism.
There is nothing more inclusive and diverse than being a racist. Not everyone can be white, not everyone can be black, but everyone can be racist
lol wtf? Mario is Italian of course they love it.

I believe it when I see HK-schoolgirl styled boothbabes.
What do we think of lonely homosexuals keeping a bunch of old reloading catalogues with sexy women on then around the house so when they are eventually found dead people won't think they were gay?
This seems oddly specific. Anon, is there anything you would like to tell us. Or your family?
Someone let a fucking woman on their Twitter and a man fixed it
This is how shit works
Whether it's "I just wanna grill" boomers or "I just wanted to play video games" Gamergaters, the modern man, the mental cripple that is to say, wants nothing more than to happily consume, and you may do whatever you like to him or anyone else as long as he is content and fed and entertained. You may cripple his children, poison his land, skin his neighbor alive, you may build a guillotine around his neck one piece at a time, and not only will he never complain, but he will defend you, he would kill to protect you, he will give you every cent he earns, and sacrifice anything to you, as long as you keep feeding him.
And the best part, if you ever displease him, if you ever invoke his wrath, all you have to do is apologize, and all is blissfully forgiven. Saw off his foot as he thrashes while you tell him you've been waiting to kill him all this time, and he will scream and rage and attack you up until the second you apologize and go back to feeding him. And it doesn't matter how often you do it! Cut him a thousand times and apologize a thousand times and he will be as loyal and content as on day one.
Even while they're being tortured, even after everything about their enemy is laid bare and obvious, they'll mill around miserably saying "I wish you'd just go back to feeding me", begging to forgive you.
do a flip
I'm not reading all that cringe shit, but that last sentence was pretty funny lol

HK in the 90s spent more money fighting gun control than American companies did. This isn’t shocking.
This was the stupidest fucking shit. I hate everything that happens on twitter. I hate that brands use fucking twitter. None of this stupid shit would happen if companies just bought adspace on other websites.
wtf? are you kidding me? i JUST returned the HK SP5 i bought a week ago and ordered a fucking century arms AP5.
i never expected a company to actually apologize and not double down wtf...

Dear HK,
What if women want to be bunnies?
The end
Actually more based than if they had not done it, and openly saying it was BS. That should teach them not to hire women or give them passwords to social media accounts.
Will they apologize to Mexico for trying to claim the FX05 was a G36 clone?
They did, back in the day after they compared engineering plans
Can't remember wether it was in or out of court
out of court
Its truly a sad day when PrepHole is stanning for a gun company that makes such janky shit that Mexicans had to come in and do it right for them
holy based. will buy a p30 and vp9 right away.
might even consider a mr223. it’s the only good piston system after all
That aside, what gun are you even supposed to buy these days? HK is ran by cucks. Sig Sauer is the new Glock. Glock is still Glock. I got a P30S about a year ago back when I thought HK was cool but now I feel like if I brandish it at a robber he’ll just laugh in my face
>HK is literally the first and only major company that doesn't double down or hush it up when shit like this happens
