Why

separating historically illiterate Nazi cosplayers from their cash?
sounds good to me
godspeed HMG

These things just look wrong. I'd rather buy an airsoft replica for my retarded cosplay tbqh

german overengineering, baka

Copyright laws for a 70 year old gun

Easily tacticoolifiable. Isn't that what all people buying sturmgewehr replicas are interested in?

Hey that doesn't look half bad so whats all the fus..

Oh.....
Oh no....

Honestly like the top one, looks like something out of star wars

I'm glad I don't suffer from autism.

You mean patent.

Poor stormfags got their feelings hurt by design to cost engineering. Proof positive that the stormfag customer base are poor trailerpark inbreds that could not afford a 100 point accuracy reproduction.

They actually used sturmgewehrs in star wars

Yeah dude. My autism is tingling thinking about larping around in the snow with one. Was thinking about a custom AR but this seems way easier

Never was designed to take 5.56.

gee bill how come mon mothma lets you have two magazine?

So this is the power of autism.

Copyright holder of Hitler's "Mein Kampf" was the german federal state of bavaria until 2016

>Guys who designed the gun are dead
> Factories that made the gun no longer exist
>Country that made the gun no longer exists
>The whole "german patent infringement" thing that happened post war
I seriously hope you are just doing it for the (you)s

Not the same thing. This was propably done as part of germany's post war denzification program. Reminder that the bavarian government suggested publishers not to publish the book after the copyright expires so that neo nazis wouldn't have access to it.

but isn't mein kampf the best way to explain why hitler hated jews? isn't best to learn why things happened so we can avoid them in the future?

Germany prefered the
>if we erase it from existence by censoring/banning it, it will never happen again
approach.

Are these nerf guns?

The thing that really bothers me is how cheap the wood looks.

no user. its only job was to be a repro. it failed at that. its garbage instead.

No one in their right minds

Vaporware or grossly underestimated deadlines? You decide

I'm personally still waiting for the vltor fortis aka Bren ten revival

That'll totally worked. It's not like anyone is going to find a copy online, read it, make the some connections to the current state of the post-war world, a think to themselves "well fuck me some of this actually makes sense." Then the'll think "why didn't anyone tell me this" and start going down the rabbit hole, and draw even more parallels.

>its only job was to be a repro
Were you its manager?

the web did not exist when bavaria acquired the copyright, and it was absolutely successful in preventing Neo-nazis from printing/distributing the book commercially in West Germany for decades.

Fun fact: Hitler left it to is sister so she wouldn't have to work, in his original, private will. She fought the government for the royalties the whole time.
A similar thing happened to all the art he bought, the royalties made him a fortune, so he didn't really need to steal it.

I'm all for them taking liberties to make it easier to produce but for fucks sake there are SO MANY little cosmetic inconsistencies it just makes me question why they are even trying to make it resemble a STG in the first place.
Why doesn't the wood on the pistol grip have rounded corners?
Why can't they add fake rivets?
who asked for STANAG compatibility?
Why does the wood look SHITTY?
I mean seriously might as well ask a airsoft gun company to produce the externals at this point

You should look up mickey mouse laws

Copyrights extend in perpetuity nowadays, nothing new will NEVER become public domain ever again

>Copyright
>for a gun
It's a machine, not a piece of art. The word you're looking for is patent and they expire after 20 years.

At first I thought it was close enough, but the more I look at this gun the more I realize it is barely passable.

Everyone who says why should a mini14, 5.56 ak, or aug should take stanag, not that they would buy one anyways but there are those that will shit on any 5.56 rifle that doen't take them.

Arbitrary Testicle Fondling approval.

Like the best of traps it just barely passes, but you wouldn't want to be seen out in public with it.

what a bunch of retards
clearly nobody understood that the mini-14, 556 ak and AUG have zero historical significance
not saying a reproduction has ACTUAL significance but its the IDEA of significance

this thread again...

>and it was absolutely successful in preventing Neo-nazis from printing/distributing the book commercially in West Germany for decades.
Commercially yes, but there is always that underground element. I also find it hilarious that when it was put back into print it became a bestseller in Germany.

The 70 year rule still applies and the US arguably has the best fair use laws on the books thanks to Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. and other court decisions.

so they stamped the pieces slightly differently using different dies and different machinery in a different century. big deal

Looks like an ar stock adapter and a 7.62x39ar mag. They said they were intending to make multi calibers and to make them able to accept modern parts.

you got the wrong picture for fascism

Well, people keep asking "WHY NO1 MAEK REPRO 0V MAI FAV GUN FROM COD WW2?" and shit like this is why. It's either not authentic or expensive and still not authentic. Often not good either.
Patent, long dead.
I guess while they were at it they decided "Fuck it, why not"? Apparently the design changes were meant to make the final guns somewhat modular so you can convert them to various silly configurations, I suppose if you're paying nearly 2 grand you might as well.
The custom AR would still be way easier as a base to build a replica off of.
We'll see what the final product looks like. I'm not expecting much, but I am merely on the sidelines watching this trainwreck.
While true and a real issue with modern media, it's still not applicable to patents. Any gun over 40 years old can be freely copied and made by anyone without a license. The actual act of replicating a historic design well, on a budget and in compliance with modern laws is just a lot harder to do than people think it is.

I'm waiting on a review video first then decide to buy, If anything I'lll buy to live out my star wars fantasy

>preordering
>anything ever

>tfw you can't even cut a straight line out of sheet metal

>only autists would care about those differences
>good for reenactors and living history displays
AH HA. HA HA. HA HA HA HA HA. Wait, are you serious?

You're right. It makes way more sense for it to be a "modern re-imagining" of a gun no one asked for a modern re-imagining of.

I like it, and I want one. The MP-40 reproductions that were recently released for like 500 bucks were cool as shit.

>no one asked for it
Maybe you didn’t, I like it

It's really the only option. Jow Forums is too poor to shell out $16k for the real deal.

You realize reenactors and living history people are more autistic about detail than anyone on Jow Forums?
>It's really the only option
It's really not.

Yes because people would shell out the several thousand dollars for the licenses and tax stamps to be legally able to own one, not to mention the flat price of one

>Yes because people would shell out the several thousand dollars for the licenses and tax stamps to be legally able to own one
>HMG is the first time anyone has ever made the StG in any guise since 1945!
That's what reenactors and living history displays have done for decades. There are also much more accurate reproductions to be using for those purposes that are much less expensive than an original sample. Both functional and non-functional firearms.

The HMG StG really is a failure at capturing either the not-an-AR market or the reproduction market.

Why is there a built in can opener in the ejection port?

Its a drop in semi-automatic fire control group. The caliber is different - not really a replica. Modern variation of a famous old theme? Should have gone with an AR-18 remake desu. Also there's something just appalling about the replacement trigger side plate. It looks like the side of a plastic storage box. Just be careful with any CAD designs.

plus, there are those PTR44s floating around, but finny enough there are more registered originals than PTR44s in this country

in Europe and Canada you can get SSD BD44s (SSD worked with PTR on the PTR44)

the question I have for you:
>gun Identical to an STG 44 on the outside but modern internals
or
>gun identical to an STG44 on the inside, but looks wrong externally/completely different.
I think I'd choose the former, desu.
apparently HMG choose neither?

STANAG didn't even standardize on the right mag design, desu.

It's still a long stroke tilting bolt, just made better than the originals, and cheaper and legal for the layman who's interested. Quit your whining.

>thinking ZOG wanted people to know why Germans hated kikes

>reeeee this replica of a hastily thrown together sheet metal rifle has slightly different stampings!

it would be impossible to achieve the first option unless they stuck with 8mm kurz
but you're right
now they have a special snowflake "tilting bolt AR" with no significance to anything that only hipsters will want to buy just so they can tell everyone how different and unique it is
more power to them I guess
hope they'll find meaning replying to all the "haters" who tell them how lame a "not STG" is and that its a totally wicked shooter

Not as much as you claim they are.

T. Reenactor

Stop bullshitting. No reenactor is as autistic as you. Please Kill yourself.

The good goys won.

Now be happy with your airshit-looking 10-round semi-automatic replicas instead of a few actual surplus stg's

well that is because you are a shill that is here to hype it up despite the obvious fact that it is shit. Prove you are not a shill, and show us you as a new happy owner of this firearm.

>it looks fine
What the fuck?

I'm just fucking glad somebody is making a close look-a-like in a cheaper caliber. If wehraboos have their panties in a twist they can just not buy one or save up for an authentic one.

This however pisses me off

reenactor here
reenactors, and especially German reenactors, are weirdos who are sticklers for accuracy
we worry about lockbar versus Korean era rear sights for Garands, so yeah, an "StG" with plastic mags that looks as different as the HMG would not cut it in my unit (although I do GI, not German) or any German unit worth a damn
it's just too different in the details

best use for this that I can think of is making an A280 Hoth blaster clone
