This begins with the G11, and then the G36, HKM4\/HK416, HK417, MG4, and MG5 families. It also covers a number of other related groups of guns including H&#038;K grenade launchers, the OICW, the L85A2 and A3, and more. While it is formatted primarily as a coffee table book with outstanding photography, it actually has more information than any other source I am aware of on its topics. For anyone interested in H&#038;K firearms or simply in modern military small arms, these volumes are excellent reference works.<\/p>\n<p>The best firearms reference books: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headstamppublishing.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.headstamppublishing.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Available directly from Vickers Guide:https:\/\/www.vickersguide.com\/purchase\/heckler-koch-vol-4-standard The fourth and final volume of the Vickers Guide to Heckler &#038; Koch covers the post-roller-delayed long guns made by H&#038;K.
