Oh, that's an instant classic. The cover of a gun company catalog. Priceless. :lol:

Edited to add: (The bullets loaded the wrong way in the magazine).

This is sad, especially since it is from the factory. It looks to me as if the whole mag is loaded wrong. The first two are.

First rule of commercial photography is know the subject matter. If you don't get someone that does. That makes it look like HK made the mistake.
still funny..
:lol:

Take away the second first, and the first is gone in a second.

My thoughts exactly!


The other sad thing is... apparently no one else "caught it" before these brochures were distributed.

I know HK's are good weapons, but the smart money says those cartridges just ain't gonna feed! :sad:

O thats not good. :???: maybe it was some kinda safety thing to make sure no one inserted the magazine and chambered a round at the photo shoot.

Actually, HKs are engineered so well that they fire every time, regardless of how the rounds are loaded!!!! How great is that???!!!! :smile:

Think that they also used .40cal ammo for it too??....LOL.


Classic............I did hear it was the photographer who made the mistake. Can't recall where, though. Too funny.
