Title: Heckler & Koch Deeply in Debt, Not Worried, Major Military Contract Inbound
Post by: Bunker on July 29, 2013, 10:03:37 PM

HK owes about $160 million, just shy of $10 million more than they’re currently worth. But the company isn’t worried, despite their recent status downgrade by Moody’s, as they have also just landed a major machine gun contract. Starting in 2015, the German military is going to begin wide-spread adoption of the MG5, aka HK 121, a medium machine gun chambered for 7.62 NATO.

Well maybe if their products weren't so expensive I'd be able to help them out of their debt.  ;) ;) :D :D  :shaka:

Guys it's common for large corporations to carry debt (property & equipment).  Unless I see a financial sheet to the contrary I'm not worried.

Availability of guns is always in shortage. So i dont where they are losing $$

The civilian market is always waiting for more HK toys.

And if they would make more mags available that would help.

Whoever said the germans were good at business anyway.
