I wanted to share this with you all...
H & K HAS A WINNER!
This thing sounds like a sewing machine. Where is the recoil?
HK 121 - General Purpose Machine Gun
HK121 Universal Machine Gun. Modular. Reliable. Superior.As the successor of the MG3, The HK121 opens a new era of universal belt fed 7.62 mm x 51 machine guns.
Forget the AR-15/M-16 and the M-60 I want one of these, Gimme, Gimme, I want one!!!
almost no recoil as well.
Just throw it in some water to cool it off!
Best thing out of Germany since German Beer and the VW 'Beetle'. Very Impressive and stable platform. It can be fired from virtually any position including standing. Virtually no muzzle rise with a 7.62! A friend wrote: As a former machine gunner in an Infantry squad, I am in awe of these new German machine guns. Good Grief, I would sure hate to be "down range" facing these weapons. And they're planning on cutting back our military here! I sure hope they know what they're doing . . .. I am astounded at the ease in changing the barrels as well as the very low recoil forces it has.

I guess you have to ask;
What's it weigh ?
I wonder if the "Pod" under the Receiver is a Weight Box of sorts (?)
