He's been there for a while now. His relationship with HK dates back to his days with UK MoD servicing HK weapons in military inventory over there.
Great video discussing 12 different test protocols that they subject weapons to including NATO, various US DoD, SAAMI, NIJ, mud, abrasion, temperature, sand, dust, drop testing, etc. Spring testing, durability, ice, ergonomics. Comparing your designs with competitors in your testing protocols to see repeatability, like AKs. In response to AK reliability, he said, "Never meet your heroes." |

Does that mean we'll have HK rifles in 6.5 grendel soon?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yep, you hust have to insert the cartridge into the magazine backwards Would actually be funny if the photographer was an actual full time employee and not a contractor. But he wasn't and it was done by a photographer contracted by HK who didn't know about guns. |

Those of us who have run high volume range sessions with AKs for decades in all types of weather and conditions already know what kind of reliability to expect from it, which isn't the fable it has been sold off as in the propaganda. |

I'll be curious to see if anything new comes out of HK, they've been needing a swift kick to the butt in some of their designs. |

Bill wasn't hired, unfortunately, to be a staff designer, but to manage their testing facility. He calls himself the "Dream Crusher" after he gets done with the toys the whiz kids come up with. If HK's hotshot design engineers are smart, they'll take Bill's advice on more than one point of firearms design. Quote HistoryQuoted:
