[QUOTE="HKCHEF, post: 1894457, member: 4684"] "Well, since "regular" people cannot own "factory" UMP's and MP5's (post-sample machine guns are not legal for them) that are already "affordable", it's just not going to happen. A factory MP5 is about $1500 to an agency. So why is making a civie version such a big deal? Under current US law, HK cannot import a semi version of the UMP or MP5 because, under 922(r), it would not be deemed as a long arm suitable for sporting purposes. Witness the USC and SL8 to try and make nice with this stupid law. In order to make them "correctly", HK would have to open up manufacturing facilities State side so that 922(r) would not be an issue (it doesn't apply to domestic production). And in order to do THAT, HK would have to believe that there was a sufficient market to support the investment. So to answer your question, it would take one of two things: 1~ Get your Congress Critters to repeal 922(r) or 2~ Deliver a guaranteed order for 100,000 (minimum) of each weapon type to HK." [/QUOTE]
