Having no experience with shotgun manufacture, they turned to Franchi in Italy &#8211; for whom they already handled sales outside Italy. Franchi produced a  gas-operated semiautomatic shotgun for HK, who brought in the parts and did the final assembly themselves, in order to legally identify the guns as H&#038;K products. About 1500 were built, and most of these were sold to security agencies in Germany, Austria, Spain, and Portugal. A small remained of unsold ones were imported into the United States in the late 80 and early 90s, apparently between 250 and 350.<\/p>\n<p>The most interesting element of the H&#038;K 512 to  me it the inclusion of an A&#038;W Diverter as an OEM part. The Diverter changes the shot pattern from a circle to a roughly rectangular shape between 3:1 and 4:1 height to width. On the  512, the Diverter was mounted vertically, to create a tall and narrow pattern &#8211; that is, a pattern ideal for hitting a target without pellets straying onto potential hostages right next to the target.<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
