Good points. I don’t think he is greatest thing out there. You just asked besides being a celebrity what expertise does he have. I think that counts as some, maybe not the best but it is some.

His experience isn’t nearly as impressive as you would like to think.

And other than basic situational awareness, urban combat as part of a team or unit against another organized force is not in any way relevant to urban safety for a single individual or a couple which might face muggers or rapists.

Umm, wasn’t Haley in Marine Recon going through cities? Also after that wasn’t he in backwater taking people out from a roof top in a CITY?

It’s hard to not have the Hk hate when the likes of their competitors, FN Herstal are giving us, ‘evil military style weapons,’ like the Five-seven, PS90, FS2000, and SCAR. Meanwhile Hk gives us the neutered SL8. Many an Hk goat must have been sacrificed to get the MR556 here, which is why it was probably late for so many years…

i see your point, this recoil b.s. trying to be like maxim or fhm???? that other magazine,
goes to prove ignorance and bliss go together, and ignorance is alive and well in this country,
h&k elite professional bs is certainly laughable, psg-1 is a good example
im pretty deft using my rem. 700 to make 800-1000 yd. shots, all for a whopping $450 that i paid for it.
anyway, kudos for mentioning Anthony Bourdain, that’s at least +2 points lol

I too am a boob enthusiast and civilians shouldn’t be able to get their hands on Playboy Playmates, and for good reason, those boobs should be reserved for military and law enforcement.

Lot’s of hate towards HK on here (and the rest of the net) due to them not selling everything they manufacture on the US civilian market.

You guys ever try to get a hold of US made weapons and misc. in Europe?
You have ITAR, we have our stupid laws.

Well Put. It looked pretty, but that is about as far as it went. Going to read your longer version now.

As a writer for the first two magazines, I can attest that the ORIGINAL CONCEPT for the magazine was “Maxim meets Guns & Ammo” The lead photographer (Les) is a very close friend of mine, and we were very motivated by the concept. Jerry Tsai, besides adding his name to everyone else’s work (mine included, and why I told them to pound sand) was solely responsible for turning them magazine into “Mens Health meets Gun Celebrities”. To be fair, the “Offroad 4X4 Magazine” flair is forced on them, as they own so many automotive magazines that make “buys” that span all their properties. Enough of them to turn 25% of the magazine into an auto rag. (Shock absorber ads in a gun magazine???) Get Real. Jerry is the prime reason that instead of solid reviews on interesting firearms, you get worthless listings of 25 different muzzle breaks and 12 tactical flashlights. Trust me, I was forced to write them.
