@Panzerkampf1938 that's because for all intents and purposes, it is.
uh, no?
God that’s a C96 pistol grip
Why

commence shenanigans
@MAC21500 why no?
because one is a short stroke piston, flapper locked rifle and the other is roller delayed blowback
Not that G34 you tard
The German G43 semi-auto rifle
which is short stroke piston flapper locked
The SL7 is just the G43 but, ya know, not broken
the SL6/7 is roller locked
I wanna close down on the fact you said pistol. And since there is a G43 pistol it kinda matters
oops, didnt say piston
But yes, different action but same overall purpose and design
missed the L
not really that either
since the SL6/7 was a sporter rifle
not sure it was ever marketed to a military
It's ok, the 5mm space between the l and the n doesn't matter unless it's the ATF asking
But yeah I get that. It's just that HK knows their market, so it's really not that hard to imagine or suspect they did what they did coz they know
@MAC21500 AFAIK the SL7 and SL8 were supposedly marketed to German paramilitary/reserve kinda stuff first, then to civilians
Sorry, SL6
The 8 is just a civilian G36
it is but it isn't
Just the somewhat reverse of the G34 in a sense. Main military first, then paramilitary and civilians second
The SL8 is a civilian sport version of a G36 that is really similar until you get to the bolt IIRC
takedown is different
Well yeah the SL8 isn’t *exactly a G36*
But you get what I meant
Well obviously the takedown is different
yea
The SL6 and 7 were purpose built
yea, seemed like an awful lot of work to shoehorn their existing action into sporter rifles for civvies when you suck and we hate you
SL7s are expensive, but not as expensive as an actual G43 or G41
at least they dont beat themselves to death
I'd hope so
The mags tho
