Pronounced "Hek-kler and cawk"...I think.
Or "Coke"? Hmm.
Its pronounced just like its spelled. Like most of the world's languages, everything in German is written the same way it sounds.

I.e. Bespaßen.
I made a trip to New Orleans one time. I was afraid to try to pronounce anything down there. I had a lady give me directions to a store and she pronounced the names and then translated them into West Texan for me.
Geissele
See above.Geissele.
It's "GUYS-lee," not "ji-ZELL."
Leupold.
It's "LOO-pold," not "LEE-uh-pold."
Here is a question: How do you pronounce Swarovski? I get the feeling it is not Swar-ov-skee like I pretty much exclusively hear.
Of course, one of the classic tongue-twisters is "Moisin Nagant" . . .

Which is called "hedge" here in Kansas...Like Bodark for Bois D'Arc?

Well, duh.Yes. The way it sounds in German; not necessarily the same as the way it sounds in English
I don't know about that.
Endless discussions have taken place on the gun forums about the proper pronunciation of Walther, Anschütz, and Heckler & Koch and many people that do NOT speak German suddenly became linguists and experts in German.
My Swedish wife pronounces it E-Kay-A.We do catch a break with IKEA, an invented term (as with many of their product lines) adopted precisely because it was not a word.
I'm surprised it took four pages for someone to bring this one up.Inserting caliber for cartridge gets under my skin.
Geissele is based in TX, I'm surprised they didn't pronounce it Gyz luh.
