It's ok, I don't expect someone without a journalism background to be as knowledgeable as myself . I'll admit though you do know your Glocks.
 
Me thinks the OP needs to get out more and play with others. My kid likes to sit on his butt all day and play w/videos and watch tv. and I mean ALL DAY. Kids now days are just plain lazy.

Lets get back to REAL gun talk
 
M R pigs--M R not pigs--O S M R--L I B M R pigs--I C M P N. If you're a yankee you probably won't understand. If your from the South, that's the way you'd say it.
 
30-30=pea flipper

The German "ch" is pronounced like a soft "k", halfway between a "ch" and a hard "k"
It will depend on where you are. German pronunciation will vary considerably from region to region. A Bavarian and a Lower Saxon will sound very different.
fwiw, I say "Heckler Kokh" with the O sounding like the O in Ed Koch and the ch like something I am clearing from my throat.
