HERA H6 Rifle .223 Rem 18" Non-Restricted

To me it looks like an FG42 swapped fluids with a Musket and was brought up under a completely different religion, the bolt action

 

[Anatine Duo]

weird... and I kinda like it

 

[Karnage]

Just to piss off the haters I'm gonna buy one and put one of those KCI dual-drum mags in it.

Different, but I will buy one.

Also, having the mag at the side allows you to have the mag and trigger group at the same place along the gun, so it can be effectively a few inches shorter (or a longer barrel and same OAL).

Side loading is common on little known guns like the M60 (or most things chain fed) its a very effective system.

Also cool that they use typical ar mags. Overall looks like they put some pretty extensive thoughts into it.

The stock looks pretty weird, but each to their own. Price wise, theres no reason a bolt should be cheaper than a semi-auto, so if people are willing to pay the cash for a wcr or m10, I bet it will sell ok. Overall not a huge market for it in canada, but the range monkeys in their tacomas will like it (and their boyfriends too).

It doesn't look like the took advantage of the magazine placement to make the action shorter though? Maybe by a TINY bit, but certainly not to the extent of say, the FG42.

Pretty different philosophy of use between the Sten and whatever this abomination is.
I’d also be concerned about magwell blow out in case of a failure. At least with a standard mag configuration, the blowout is directed down and away from the shooter, not directly across their visage, as is the case with this rifle.
And lastly, good luck tracking a target that’s running from left to right with a magazine blocking half your FOV.

Unsurprisingly, this was developed by Germans. I guess they decided to take their incredibly overcomplicated automobile design philosophies and apply them to firearms as well.

A LMG has a different philosophy of use compared to a bolt action rifle? Are you sure? That doesn't sound right to me....

Of course they're different. Doesn't mean they can't apply the same reasoning to specific design choices.

With a whopping 5 rnd capacity !

Cue the......

Chrome lined??? Any other colors??? Does it come in left hand??? .300 black out would be sweet!!!

 

[Bare]

As soon as I seen the side loaded mag I didn’t like it. After watching the video and some thinking it kinda grew on me. I think I would enjoy it if I had one.

 

[taeish]

put a 120 rnd drum on it

 

[Mtl514]

I dig it but its not 5.56 compatible?

 

[Ipscshooters]

I did it but its not 5.56 compatible?

Wouldn't worry about it, I've fired probably 10k plus .556 out of any bolt action I've ever owned marked .223 rem

 

[Ramzzz]

I am not sure what to think of it. I looks like Hera lost a bet with some 13 year olds who got drunk and were given 3 crayons. They had to build whatever the 13 year olds could draw up.

It sure is different and it will sell simply for that fact. I would like to see the tan and green versions come with a matching tan/green handguard. Also...only .223 and not 5.56 capable?

 

[Ribstaylor]

Rep in video says .223, and 5.56

 

[apexanimal]

If it were a lever action with a mag sticking out of the side like that i think itd be just ridiculous enough to be cool. This is sort of in the uncanny valley area.

European specs don't differentiate 5.56 from .223, that's a weird (and rather pointless) American obsession.
