Happy Halloween, my H&K friends.

Exactly 170 years ago, October 25th, 1854, at the Battle of Balaclava, the 93d Highlanders, standing as a “thin red streak tipped with steel” repulsed a Russian cavalry charge with aimed long range rifle fire alone.

It marked a paradigm shift in modern warfare, illustrating the power of a new infantry weapon, the rifle-musket. Their valor will never fade.

H&K History:

On this day in 1977, everything changed. Five days earlier, four members of the terrorist group, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, hijacked Lufthansa Flight 181 as a means to secure the release of Red Army Faction Leaders. Refused landing permission everywhere except Mogadishu, they sat on a runway awaiting their demands. Little did they know, Germany had sent a detachment from the GSG9 to resolve the situation. In a hangar on the runway, they planned their assault (Operation Fire Magic) which was carried out after a terrorist killed a hostage. With speed, audacity and surprise, the team killed three of the terrorists, wounded another, and freed all remaining 89 passengers (one flight attendant was wounded by a terrorist during the assault).
Of note, two SAS members, on exchange, took part during the raid. They observed that the use of the new H&K MP5 submachinegun, fired in bursts at close range, proved far more effective at incapacitating the threats than the handguns that other operators were using. They took those observations back with them and convinced their command to evaluate the H&K MP5 submachinegun, which led to its adoption as their new primary CQB weapon. That weapon went on to gain worldwide attention three years later in the hands of SAS Operators during the Iranian Embassy Siege in London in May 1980.

Me, in H&K’s Gray Room, just waiting patiently for my new access badge and office key.

Those of you who know me, know how excited I am today. I’m humbled beyond words for this opportunity, to be “on the team” of our favorite red letter company, especially during this critical period of growth within H&K USA. And I want to thank all those who have helped me along my journey to this point. Lots to do, but I have to say, it’s a great time to be a H&K fan!

Training Tuesday:

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”

“Take the bloody shot!”
Throwback Thursday: No rifle from the 80s inspired more confidence and downright s*x appeal (if a gun can do that) in precision marksmanship than the Heckler and Koch PSG1. This marketing image speaks to that potential.
For more from this period from H&K, I recommend you head over to www.vickersguide.com and preorder your copy of Volume 3 of the Vickers Guide Heckler and Koch Series.

Training Tuesday:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
-Theodore Roosevelt
