Great, my buddy gets one for $250 with $300 worth of tacticool stuff because some moron is shooting low velocity out of it and doesn’t like it and I’ll have to pay 3 times that now if I want one.
I guess I just settle on a 10/22 gattling gun set up for impractical gun purchase of the year.
It’s kind of cryptic, and doesn’t actually say “no more GSG-5s;” just that the current design will cease. My completely uninformed guess is that they’ll up the price by $50-100 and slap a big red HK on it.

ATI settled, rather than win the battle against HK while losing the war against the lawyers.

Well, shit.
I was actually considering on getting one, and now prices are just going to be all manner of retarded.
H&K – the assholes of the firearm community.

Where did that “on” come from…?

H&K would be smart recognize the market that exists for these neat little rifles, and would start selling them itself.
But they won’t, because we suck and they hate us.

“H&K would be smart recognize the market that exists for these neat little rifles, and would start selling them itself.”
Uh, they did. That’s why they’re suing everyone making a copy.

“Uh, they did. That’s why they’re suing everyone making a copy.”
And not selling one themselves.

“And not selling one themselves.”
They have a contractor to do it for them.

We hate you.
October 20th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Also, you suck.

Its a shame that they settled since I think H&K’s legal position is garbage.
