Shooting the rifle known as the HK 32 in full auto
The HK32 is a firearm that never truly came into production, but was considered as one of the prototypes when the HK G3 was being created as a transitional firearm from the CETME platform. Both 7.62X51mm and 7.62x39mm were prevalent calibers at the time, and Heckler & Koch supposedly gave both some consideration, but ultimately decided to go with the NATO round instead. Over the years, there have been a few companies that have produced their version of the 32. This machine gun is a PTR32 rifle with a registered full auto trigger pack. The rate of fire is about the same as a AK-47 at roughly 600-650 rounds per minute. This was my first time shooting it and I was surprised at the relatively low perceived recoil. What I did notice though was that the magazine itself created an imbalance in the rifle, and it caused the rifle to rotate around its center axis more than I was prepared for. Normal G3 systems use a smaller 20 round magazine, and so the center of gravity seems to stay not only centered, but relatively in the up/ down plane. This gun felt like it was moving quite a bot as I shot it. The small buttstock of the telescoping G3 stock doesn't add a lot of stability so that may have added to it, but I definitely noticed it. On semi-auto fire this was not an issue at all.
Over all it is a really fun firearm to shoot and essentially gives you the capability of the AK round in a platform that is known for a bit greater accuracy and modularity. The metal magazines worked great. The polymer mags worked well also, but they were a much tighter fit in the magazine well.
