how to pronounce the following

Sabot-------------------sah-BOW
Heckler & Koch--------HECK-ler and ####
Sako--------------------SAH-ko

And further...

Leupold----------------LOO-pold, not fricken Leopold
Franchi-----------------Frankie
Mauser-----------------MOW-zer though commonly accepted as MAH-zer
Garand-----------------gah-RAND
 
I'll take a stab at it..not saying I'm correct but it should be interesting :lol:

Sabo...as in "ah heck" and "rainbow"

Heckler and Coke....as in Coca-Cola

Socko as in "socko salmon"...most people say Sack-oooo


how am I doing so far :?: :? :D
 
My usual pronunciations for these are:

1 "sahboh"

2 "heckler & kotch" (despite the fact that German speakers say it deep in their throats almost as "####" or "coke")

3 "sahko"
