Heckler & Koch Mark 23

I try and keep all the photos of the firearms I review small but due to the actual size of this handgun I wanted it to be big. The Heckler & Koch Mark 23 is a massive yet beautiful handgun. The Mark 23 was created specifically for the Navy Seals and went through some of the toughest testing a handgun can take. Although it looks very similar to USP tactical it is a bit bigger and of course much more expensive. What you get for the price is a very accurate handgun with the backing of reliability beyond most handguns. It is rare to see this gun sell for less than $2,000 so if you do see one for less I would recommend you get it. I was given the opportunity to shoot this gun once and although I didn't get to spend much time with it I found the grip to fit my hand perfectly. The threaded barrel allows for a suppressor to be attached and the rail mount on the frame will fit most laser and flashlight attachments. The trigger guard is oversized to allow for use with gloves on. While the price for this gun isn't practical when you can get a USP tactical for much less it is one of those guns that you "just have to have". If you are an owner you can consider yourself in an elite group of handgun owners.  

American Tactical Imports GSG522

The GSG522 was my first .22 rifle, it's in the "tactical 22" group of guns, modeled after the H&K mp5. It comes with a mock suppressor which slides over the barrel. The GSG522 has some features that a normal mp5 wouldn't such as a picatinny rail mount on the top of the gun. Since .22 ammo is cheap you will be spending more time loading the magazines than shooting! The charging handle operates much like the real mp5; the weight of the gun is probably about the same as the real mp5 which is nice. Overall this is worth picking up if you are a fan of the mp5 but don't want to spend tons of money for a clone or the real thing.

Machine gun fund?!

Some of you may have noticed that there is a new gadget on the blog over to the right. It is a fundraiser for the purchase of a machine gun. Machine gun prices have always been on the rise and they are way out of my price range for a single purchase. I would love to put up a review for a machine gun but I just can't afford it! Feel free to comment with any questions! I am looking into the purchase of a Mac-11 as seen here. Not the best looking gun but have become popular in the machine gun world because they are cheap and can be changed to accept different types of ammo.

Heckler & Koch VP70

This is a pretty weird looking pistol, it is the Heckler & Koch VP70, the military version shown here has a stock allowing select fire in both semi-automatic and three round burst. The VP70 came in 9mm and a very limited amount were made in 9x21mm. It looked pretty futuristic when it came out and was used in the movie aliens which was set in the future. The only thing I have heard about these when it comes to actually shooting is that the trigger is very tight probably because it can be set as a full auto weapon. A little fun fact about the VP70 is that it was the first ever polymer pistol.
