I am assuming that it is for some of the milsim markers/accessories that come on some markers. Not sure exactly what it is going to affect. Defiently intresting tho.

It's a trademark suit, so the "look" is probably what they are going after... Other than that I have no clue, interesting.

I would say the "EXACT REPLICA" and "JUST LIKE THE REAL THING" are what they are after. Trying to make sure that the TRUE HK line isn't mixed with the PB stuff.

HK has licensed their trade dress to an airsoft manufacturer, so this is in protection of that licensing.

If they weren't in the business at all it wouldn't matter to them, the more things that look HK the better, but they're in the airsoft biz now from a licensing standpoint and they need to protect their assets.

I am going to be buying an HK USP Compact. Not sure on the caliber, it's between 9mm and .45.

Go with the .45 cal way more knock down power.

I have a USP tactical and that is the most accurate hand gun I own (besides the .22 cal Ruger Mark III bull barrel) and I am almost as big a firearm whore as I am a Paintball gun whore. I believe the current count is 23.

For the record, I have the HK and a 1911 A1 ang the HK kicks butt over the 1911 A1 I have 2 9 mili's too and prefer to grab and shoot the .45 cal.

Wow, rly? I wasn't aware they made bullets with "knock down power".

From what I heard, H&K is suing Tippmann and BT for use of the fire selector switch and the depiction of "no bullets", "one bullet", and "many bullets".

Oh, and Kimber Custom 1911s kick the USP's butt!

Really? While I appreciate that position if one was going to take it all the way they would argue that there are superior rounds to both available in handguns (10MM anyone?), and both rounds are VERY anemic on the grand scale of things. The fact of the matter is, for all the differences in "power" touted by the defenders of one or the other pistol rounds are far more alike than not.

I've bounced around on both sides. Not being a fan of the .40 in any gun I have shot I never seem to make a final decision on the one I like.

Sorry if I used a term you disagree with, I have heard it referenced this way in the past. Please enlighten me if I have misspoken.

Are you saying that you would prefer a 9mm to the .45 acp?

Not too familiar with the Kimber Custom but they seemed to be comparably priced in today's market. A very fine piece I am sure. Fortunately I purchased my H&K Tactical quite a few years ago, paid under $1K for it.

Loh,

I was only commenting on the calibers that SC mentioned. I agree that a 10 mm would be more powerful.

I have never shot a 10mm but I have shot a .40 cal before and I was not too impressed.

I suppose for pure punch I could dust off my S&W Model 29 8-3/8", my Ruger Super Blackhawk 10" SS or my Desert Eagle .44 magnum! Unfortunately when I was actively buying firearms there was no .50 cal DE yet or that would be in my aresenal. By the way the Desert Eagle is a load to haul around. Better work the biceps to lug that beast!

The funny part is that you would think that H&K would be flattered to have their guns depicted in Milsim.

Go Figure!

I think that all the numbers show that all the carriable pistols are jokes in far as stopping power. Shoot what you can be proficient with and are comfortable with. The get a XX caliber pistol because it has more stopping power while technically accurate is really a false argument. Shoot both, buy what you like .

I completely agree with that sentiment! I happen to shoot closer groups with the H&K .45. That is what drove my original comment!

Best shooting gun I ever had was a Sig in .357. Don't know why I ever sold that. Great instinct shooter, was just "right".
