Dare I say it is the most impressive collective body of work in firearms engineering because they all work the same. Definitely not the greatest engineering of all time (we just saw that rifle on the channel recently!), but definitely something to be marveled at

  • Hi, Quick correction. The "SAS Operators" are actually a Detachment of the FRU. I know exactly where that photo was taken - that base has gone now. We had 53's at all Dets with sliding stocks & iron sights, both of which we loved. We mostly used them on ops that had the chance of moving through rural areas as opposed to urban, where MP5K's were usually the weapon of choice. Always with our trusty Browning Mk 2 Hi Power as a PPW as well though. Nice review of an old friend - Thanks Mike 👍

  • Ah, fond memories! When my old dept put together a SWAT team way back around 2001, we got guns from Colt and H&K to T&E. From H&K we had MP5s, etc, but they also sent us one H&K 53. I LOVED that thing! It was controllable, fed flawlessly, and was easy to have ready to go when bailing out of a Crown Vic (dating myself there). I mean sure, ballistics suffered but a test we did of short barreled 5.56 guns years later, showed they still packed enough punch (and if the first round isn't enough, you have plenty more). Alas, all of H&K's guns were marked for T&E only and they wanted them back. They would not budge on a price and got kind of snippy about it. Colt, on the other hand, gave us the guns they sent at about half off. We got about 3 for one by going with Colt (and I claimed a 635 and later an M4). But I sure did love that 53!

The thought was having a couple of these to defeat body armor , while keeping the same manual of arms as the MP5, would be a good idea. It wasn’t a very good idea. These things barked like nothing else I’ve ever shot. Fun. Not too practical though. An unintended consequence - it was actually a great training tool to really learn good weapon control and stance. If you could manage one of these going back to the mp5 was like shooting a BB gun

  • The Hk33/Hk93 also has the option of the earlier developed inherently buffered BCG, which allows you to utilize MP5 stocks that, unlike the much larger elastomer stock plate buffers found in G3 and Hk33 stocks, have much smaller elastomer stock plate buffers, including the 5 pos retractable stock, a la the MP5A3 and MP5K. My PCS33 (Hk93 clone commission built by Jeff Walters at Parabellum Combat Systems) has the buffered bcg, and I run B&T's 5 pos retractable MP5 stock. It's definitely a vibe, I love it.

  • Served in the Greek Army in 2009, and the rifles I used there were the G3A3 (at basic training camp) and the HK11 (later when I got my specialization). The G3 was weighting in at about 3.7kg, whereas the HK11 being the behemoth that it is, was close to 8kg!! And I had to run and dive behind cover and brumbles, through windows into buildings etc with that HK11. And like you said, both had almost all the blueing gone off because of the decades of careless soldiers dropping them and being rough with them, but they did shoot true, and very rarely malfunctioned. - Also another thing to note: Because I was also an armored personnel carrier driver, I got to use Colt M1911 (since the driver area doesn't have space for a rifle). Man, that Colt, what a piece of kit that was!! It was older than I am (the particular one issued to me was made in 1982), and like I said, countless of uncaring hands later, that thing would shoot right on target, and never EVER jammed!! A true testament to American ingenuity and quality of build in my eyes!!!

    • Here's the big issue, and why no STANAG HK roller gun is particularly reliable, except for the godawful G41 ("Frankenstein's rifle"). ARs have cartridge guides built into the upper/chamber area, while STANAG mags are double presentation and feed straight. HK53s do not have these guides, and their mag is tapered towards the front and top, to provide a somewhat uniform feed position. To get a STANAG magazine to work well in a 33/53 type design, it will need a custom feed tower/insert. Even then, rounds will still occasionally get jammed into the trunion instead of the chamber. This causes not only stoppages, but also results in bullet setback. Mean if/when a user tries to just reload/rechamber that round, it's going to produce higher pressures than intended. Ultimately, a STANAG compatible 33/53 isn't going to be a reliable fighting weapon. Ask yourself this; "if it was really *_that_* easy, then why would HK waste so much time/money on completely redesigning the gun into the G41?"

  • What really killed this weapon was the Picatinny rail. and that the HK was not attuned to going that direction because of the Charging Handle configuration. It could not resurge since we are seeing RedDot Thermal Hybrid devices which do away with the need for anything but a Flashlight beyond the Receiver area above the action. And also, the resurgence of High Sighting for Gas Masks makes the DRL system head back up to market resurgence.

  • The SAS also used the HK51 7.62x51mm briefly but the recoil was intense being in the Carbine form, following that they preferred the HK53 moving from then on. The UK produced the HK51 locally as the MC51. The HK53 has since been replaced in SAS service by the Colt Canada C8-CQB and it’s other variants (L119A1/L119A2). I shot an HK53 on full-auto, but it had a fixed stock on it.
