I love seeing businesses show their support.
The empire should put together recruitment videos to help wash away the stench of rebel propaganda.
Ask Alderaan about the other option
That's the federation, not the empire
Would you like to know more?
What?
Unfortunately the recruitment video was made by assholes.
Pizza the Hut is the thing nightmares are made of.
The hutts are vile gangsters, but even they have their purposes.
Rebel propaganda!
Keep firing! Assholes!
I want every gun we have firing on that man
But they do already exist!

Which ones in particular would you like to see? I think the reason so many aren’t imported is 50% import restrictions and 50% because HK hates you.
Well, the HK-47 would be nice.
Stupid meatbags.
Subtle.
Goddamn. I saw that and was thinking "oh man, a new rifle. Maybe it takes AK mags. Let me go look it up!" and I end up reading a bunch of Wookipedia shit.
There is nothing quite as satisfying as a perfect headshot from 300 meters away.
Everyone says they want an mp7 but no one would actually buy it
They should obviously make MP5s and MP5k pistols that are ready to be SBRed. G36 rifles would also sell a boat load.
This one is sort of a bit too fascist for comfort.
The empire wasn’t fascist. Shhhh...

Or SIG. Or FN Herstal.
EDIT: Mauser made the original gun. Whoops.
None of these companies can give the discerning firearms connoisseur what he truly wants. Behold:

Oh how I love best gunnit.
Ahh, the hunnit wrap Hi Point glawk foty! Truly the modern day Excalibur.
Every Man's Zap Carry.
HK is essentially the continuation of Mauser.
Is that not a broom handled Mauser?
It is. Heavily modified for the movie, but it started out as a broomhandle Mauser.
I believe a sten gun was modified aswell?
Thanks for your answer.
They also used a chopped up Lee Enfield rifle for the Jawas Ion Blaster, and the Sandtroopers in EP4 are carrying a Lewis Gun as well.
Mg34/42 as well, I don't remember which one and they are nearly identical
Didn't they also use a women's razor as a communicator in the prequels?
The E-11 was based on the Stirling Mark IV Submachine Gun
A sad side effect of Han's blaster being a C96 is that the cosplay and replica communities have sucked the market dry for people interested in the gun itself.
Like people buy historical ones and modify them?
Im not sure how heavily they modified it. Looks like a tapped and drilled scope rail. Magazine removal and custom muzzle device. Shit you might be able to buy one of those muzzle devices online.
The muzzle device is a flash hider from a WWII Luftwaffe machinegun :)
So you could buy that, have a gunsmith maybe thread the barrel. Those scope rings look store bought and im sure that scope is as well.
Like very feasible to make your own. Not sure why someone would ask HK to make a Mauser gun tho....
Thats like asking Glock to make you a Five Seven.
Watch Adam Savages videos on making one. It was VERY modified
I don't think they removed the magazine. You can see the base plate of it.
I'm pretty sure its just an added scope, that cone on the nose, and the fins in front of the magazine. They didn't modify it that much.
Just like the Stormtrooper rifles are just Sten's with a scope and little fins around the barrel.
They filled in the Magwell as well.
I wasn't sure if it was filled in or there was just a flush magazine they had inserted, but yeah, I guess that too.
“My uncle shot a German with this. In Benidorm. Argument over a sun lounger...”

I’ve been watching Phoenix Nights bloopers for the last 20 minutes because of you!
Chorley FM! Coming in your ears!
Yes, with an added scope and muzzle device.
I still think several hundred Super Star Destroyers, and the TIE Defender program would've been better investments.
Well well well if it isn't Lord Vader

Eggs in baskets and so on
Star Wars was created during the time of large battleships, aircraft carriers and such were the primary means of projecting power around the world. The military today is shifting gears towards fleets of numerous small craft, potentially submersibles. So you’re actually 100% correct, and for the reason we saw in the Last Jedi with the Holdo Maneuver.
Could I use the end of Guardians of the Galaxy as a counter-point?
I see what you mean, but they had an objective in boarding the Dark Aster. It would’ve been much cheaper (money and people) for some opposing organization to develop a missile and take the vessel out that way.
Big targets are easy to monitor and hit, which is what the Chinese navy is developing their counter-US strategy on: long range anti-ship missiles and diesel-electric submarines that can be hit by the same. In response, we’re developing our own smaller craft fleet and submarine force. Launching a million dollar missile is easy to justify if it’s aimed at an aircraft carrier or destroyer, but if it’s a 100 man vessel? Much more difficult to justify and engage.
Which is to say, the Empire should develop a fleet of Star Frigates and smaller craft to support their fleet of Star Destroyers. They should also change their positioning such that the destroyers can support each other but not be taken out by suicide attacks. If Snoke had several star destroyers instead of one large vessel, and all of them were engaging the Rebel fleet, even if Holdo did manage to take out two or three Star Destroyers in her attack, there would still be plenty of vessels left to continue their bombardment of the transport fleet and the First Order could have avoided the immense embarrassment it suffered on Krait.
I think your forgetting one thing about the Supremacy. It's not just a big battleship, it's the flagship of the First Order's entire navy, and their capital city rolled into one. They need a big ship to handle all of the command and control, troop training, and weapon manufacturing that the FO requires.
I too agree with the Grand Admiral and Lord Vader.
I mean, a fleet super star destroyers each carrying several wings of TIE Defenders (with more than sufficiently trained pilots) is all you really need for power projection.
I mean an Executor Class has a Class 2.0 Hyperdrive, opposed to the Death Star's incredibly slow Class 4.0.
On the contrary, if memory serves, the Grand Admiral regards even Dreadnoughts such as the Executor to be a needless waste of materiel, work the Imperial-class being the most cost effective capital ship model.
Surely H&K are slamming both sides here?
‘Rebel scum’ Then they slam the Freedom Star(tm)
Do cut them some slack. You would be salty too if you didn’t get that contract.
Especially knowing you could have saved Imperial lives.
Feeling grief can boil to the surface in a number of ways, clearly this loyal business feels guilty at not getting the chance to build a death star free from the sabotage cause by those sympathetic to the terrorists and they are expressing this grief via anger, totally understandable
Instead they had to go with Erso Engineering, and we know how that turned out
Yeah true
The official name of the battle station to which you refer is DS-1 (or DS-2) Orbital Battle Station, colloquially known as Death Star.
While your use of an enthusiastic, non-standard designation is appreciated, referring to the great accomplishments of our Empire by their proper names accords them the respect they are due.

Actually, it was called the Imperial Planetary Ore Extractor. It was a peaceful mining ship, the best and only in its class. It was filled with miners and their families, and just a few Stormtroopers for security purposes. Rebel propaganda has confused so, so many....
What the shit is this? The Death Star was crewed by the Imperial Navy and Tarkin himself had absolute authority over it. The Death Star was a deterrent to keep peace, I don't know what the fuck you're rambling about. Revisionist history, too soft-hearted to realize the reality of maintaining peace and security for all the Galaxy.
My son died on that battle station. There is no need to be afraid to admit militarization, a strong peacekeeping force means a safe galaxy.

Greentext joke.
They're spreading awareness of the fact that due to the incompetence of Former Director Krennic, a filthy rebel sympathizer was allowed to take a leading role in the construction of the Death Star (a name I much prefer, nothing wrong with imposing a little bit of death on disorderly planets). This of course led to the destruction of one of the greatest achievements in galactic history.
They are clearly only fighting against the incompetent scam artists who are conning their way into major defense contracts. They want to do it themselves, because they are true patriots who want to make sure that our brave soldiers can trust their equipment.
They're quite clearly spreading false news there as well. The FS used only the finest components, it was a victim of cowardly sabotage.
Great components and materials are no substitute for top tier design and manufacture.
That’s why I buy HiPoint /s
Top kek
It's the Death Star. Geez, the DS-1 and DS-2 are called that by everyone ever. If you don't like it, call it "Project Star Dust."
They Slam the poor construction of the Freedom Star.
And they are right to do so. The Freedom Star was intentionally constructed with exploitable flaws by the traitor Galen Erso, if we had used a patriotic loyal company like Heckler & Koch we would not have had this issue.
It is not unpatriotic to bemoan the actions of traitors when they tarnish the good name of your empire and waste imperial resources in their foolish attempts to assist this so called "rebellion" that is really nothing more than a rogue terrorist organization trying to usurp power from the rightful government. If anything it's unpatriotic to act like the actions of a traitor WERE a good thing.

Fucking Finn Olessa, always killed me with that thing
Don't want to sound like a scum, but it is very clear DS-1 was sabotaged due to poor project management. They would be poor businessman if they missed the chance to gather on their competitor's screw up. May could have done it with little more tact and respect to the tragedy though.
"No good guys no bad guys just business"
Fun fact: This gun is based on the C96 made by Mauser Germany. In 1949 some employees of Mauser, in names Edmund Heckler, Theodor Koch and Alex Seidel founded Heckler & Koch.
So technically, yes, they probably really could ;)
Yeah but because it’s a Mauser there might be some legal friction, patents and such
You might enjoy this!
I know I did!

Expensive guns.

Thank you
Hecker & Koch is a major firearms manufacturer. One of their more well-known products is the MP5 submachine gun, popular with American law enforcement agencies.
Not just American law enforcement! It’s one of the most popular guns in the world.
They're falling out of favor in law enforcement in place of short barrel AR-15s.
Comment deleted by user
Not very often you say American police walking around with MP5s. More of a Euro thing. Americans tend to prefer the AR platform.
A German weapon manufacturer most commonly known for its creation of the HK-416, HK-417, HK-G36 and the HK-G3.
You didn't even mention the HK-91 or the PSG1. How could you?
Because the future is now, old man.
Or the MP5, UMP, or USP.

In a world of compromises, some people put the bullets in the magazine backwards…But it doesn’t matter, because our gun is on the cover of the Rainbow Six video games. Look how cool that SEAL coming out of the water looks… If you buy a $2,000 SOCOM, you will be that cool of an operator too. And chicks will dig you.
At HK, we stuck a piston on an AR15, just like a bunch of other companies have done, dating back to about 1969. However ours is better, because we refuse to sell it to civilians. Because you suck, and we hate you.
Our XM8 is the greatest rifle ever developed. It may melt, and it doesn’t fit any accessories known to man, but that is your fault. If you were a real operator, you would love it. Once again, look at Rainbow Six, that G36 sure is cool isn’t it? Yeah, you know you want one.And by the way, check out our new HK45. We decided that humans don’t need to release the magazine with their thumbs. If you were a really manly teutonic operator, you would be able to reach the controls. Plus we’ve fired 100,000,000 rounds through one with zero malfunctions, and that was while it was buried in a lake of molten lava, on the moon. If you don’t believe us, it is because you aren’t a real operator.
By the way, our cheap, mass-produced, stamped sheet metal guns like the G3 and MP5 are the bestest things ever, and totally worth asinine scalpers prices, but note that cheap, mass-produced, stamped sheet metal guns from other countries are commie garbage. Not that it matters, because you’re civilians, so we won’t sell them to you anyway. Because you suck, and we hate you, but we know you’ll be back. We can beat you down like a trailer park wife, but you’ll come back, you always do.
Buy our stuff.
Sincerely
HK Marketing Department HK. Because you suck. And we hate you.
We can buy some if their stuff. HK VP9 to mention just one.
German firearm company, that for years broke international sanctions and had "3rd party" licensed manufacturers sell their guns in war zones.
Which is why the HK G3 rifles are seen throughout conflict zones today, second only to the Communist arming of communist rebels with the AK-47.
Heckler & Koch. They're best known for the MP5 submachine gun, but have also made other firearms used primarily by the Bundeswehr such as the G3 and G36.
Very proud I have my HK G3 now, I will support loyal lawful business.
All the gun businesses including your friend, H&K are now allies to the Empire
why would they not make anything to support to rebels and then mention that the Empire didnt contract them for the death star??
Because they could have saved Imperial lives by building it right the first time
It's completely illogical, you're right. Sentences are meant to follow on from each other, carrying on from previous ones and developing meaning. It's like saying, 'I hate red cars. I ate a lobster once and it was horrible.'
Heavily modified for the film, but nothing will replace my Usps.
Agreed, they put fedex and UPS to shame
But what if the government is shut down?
The DL-44 heavy blaster pistol was made by BlasTech Industries. The same company that made that made the E-11 blaster rifle, standard issue for Imperial Stormtroopers...
I suppose the real answer is H&K isn't in the patent steeling business and were just making a joke.
So you're saying that the Empire should've bought German when building the DS- 1?
You blow them up today, they blow you up tomorrow. It's just business.
It's got a loudencer
Heckler and kock are true loyals indeed.
H&K is woke as hell.
Even in a galaxy far, far away HK still thinks you suck and they hate you.
Well now I have to buy a bunch of H&K guns
Gotta love a good excuse to buy a new gun.
“Huh, I found a spare roll pin, time to build a new AR”
Blasters are blasters. They aren't good or evil. Its the people who use them who decide that. If this blaster was used by an Imperial civilian shooting down rebel scum then its all good. There is an issue of quality though. If you're going to get a blaster why have a piece of junk like in a picture when you can have a good old E-11.
TIL blasters are just modified Mausers
Comment deleted by user
Not really...can't imagine that's terribly profitable.
Not in any gun store I’ve been to. They have collector editions, but those aren’t mimicking any pop culture guns. I have seen a few “John Wick” mimics out there, but those are just Glock’s with some very common and inexpensive modifications.
It usually goes the other way around, real guns get famous from movies and people want to buy them.
Mauser already made it
No good guys not bad guys just buisness
I'm confused. H&K don't like rebels, but also don't like empire. so what side are they on?
OH BOY TIME TO POST THIS AGAIN

Another reason I'm really glad I've bought several H&K
i love that this is a jab at the german government for the g36 fiasco
H&K did make some of the best assassin droids in the old republic. Nice to see they are loyal.
Go and ask Rheinmetall, they took over Mauser in 2004.
Damn you Galen Erso!

It’s a Modified Mouser C96
But isn’t the D-44 an imperial officer’s pistol to begin with and Han Solo had a modified one?
I remember when Rebel sympathizers were mocked and belittled. It used to be a mark of humiliation. Now, it's proudly displayed with zero consequence. It's demoralizing, tbph...
He is a heckler
facebook has likes in their meassages now too?
This seems a bit out of character if you ask me. I feel like they would make the weapon and install an imperial tracking device on it after giving them the "rebel discount" and have a battalion of Stormtroopers meet them at home. Then with the interrogations.... I love the interrogations. There is something to be said about lulling your prey into a false sense of security and striking when they least expect it.
A German arms manufacturer is a fan of the Galactic Empire.
I want H&K to design my babies
The Empire understands the danger of weapons like these. That's why our Galactic Empire is safe by banning anything that can kill people except for our brave fighters for order, of course.
Hehe... Koch.
For real tho
If HK made modernised c96 clones...
