Heckler & Koch HK WSG2000

WSG2000side.jpg

The Heckler & Koch WSG2000, proposed in 1990, would have been a powerful rifle designed to fire the 9x90mm MEN round, designed to target vehicles and other material objects. The rifle doesn't have a muzzle brake or flash hider. Any loss of recoil is caused by hydraulics in the barrel. The WSG2000 has a bullpup, semi-automatic firing configuration, with the box magazine just behind the grip. The only cocking occurs when you have to reload...not between each shot. Little is known about the design because HK never came up with a working prototype. Full name: Weitreichendes Scharfschützengewehr

Production

Heckler & Koch never proceeded past the mock-up stage. The picture is of a 100% non functional rifle.

Quotation

"Today the WSG2000 resides in HK’s prototype pattern room and CAD/CAM machines as the deadliest long-range rifle that never was." -Jim Schatz
