I can find no official mention of the name "Heckler und Koch" on any of the manufacturer's web pages. It appears that the official name of the company is "Heckler & Koch". I propose that all instances of "Heckler und Koch" on wikipedia should be replaced with "Heckler & Koch."
Shouldn't hkpro be referred to as more than a mere fan site? It now hosts the official forums of HK-USA, where customer support, marketing, and the official shooting team from the company post. Kirbysdl ( talk) 05:46, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
I have moved the main HK page and will work on changing the other pages that use 'und' instead of '&'.
Pronunciation: according to HK, 'The English pronunciation is pronounced, “coke.”'
Regardless of what personal preferences may be, here's an article discussing this very same problem that should provide the final word on the issue: http://www.hkpro.com/koch.htm Also, working at an indoor range and store that carries HK weapons, I can back up this article from personal experience and with working with HK USA and HK Obendorf staff. -- Swordmaster2k1 01:58, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
This is a weird argument about the pronunciation. First time seeing this on Wikipedia. Who has included All this dialogue? Shouldn't there just be the information copied from the H&K website posted above? Why still involve the process of getting to that point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.132.96.246 ( talk) 21:42, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Does anyone else think that the List of Heckler & Koch firearms and small arm products section should be movedd to a seperate list of article? Also, could we remove the links connected with the variant models thaat only link to the original model's article? -- talkie_tim 16:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Anyone know what the HK19 weapon mentioned here Provisional IRA arms importation could be? Thanks Fluffy999 23:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Why is the HK G41 under "Special Weapons"? From what I know, it's just another 5.56 roller-delayed blowback assault rifle, similar to the HK33. 70.179.127.215 20:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
H&K make the best weapons in the world, trust me i know from experiance. There the professionals weapons. The accuracy, power, durability and diversity makes them great and sets them apart from all other gun manufacturers.
Is there any reason that his name, unlike that of the other co-founders, is not included in the company name? If he made a lesser contribution than Edmund Heckler and Theodor Koch, that ought to be mentioned in the article. 71.203.209.0 03:13, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:H&K Factory.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I'm hearing claims that the company was sold off to a bidder in the Middle East (UAE?). Is anyone able to shed some light on this? Koalorka ( talk) 06:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
The sentence "Heckler & Koch firearms are known for their precision, durability, reliability and build quality." sounds more like an Advertisement than an encyclopaedia article and has therefore been removed. -- Mr\ Lore 00:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Recently HK has come under fire in the (internet english-speaking) Gun owning community due to their (supposed) horrible customer service and general attitude towards their civilian market. I think that this should be brought up in their article, but I do not see how I could write it without sizable vitriol.
Anyone with an unbiased POV could check it out though.

I have deleted a couple of citations to HKPRO.com. It is not a reliable source for Wikipedia articles because its articles are anonymously posted and there's no discernible editorial review process.
