Heckler & Koch HK77UKSE
Heckler & Koch HK77UKSE Carbine*





HK77UKSE with stock fully extended
Developed after the HK77UK, the SE variant is chambered for 5.56 x 33mm caseless, offering better hitting power. The whole weapon is made of advanced alloys, using the same frame as the standard HK77UK, along with the usual weight reducing measures. The barrel ends in a suppressor, the same as used on all HK77UK variants, modified for this version. The collapsing stock is retained, with the autostabilization stock, as well as the forward vertical grip.
The weapon uses a rather different approach to maintain it's small size. Instead of a 'typical' ammunition clip, it is fed from a hopper that is built inside of the sliding stock. The rounds are stored perpendicular (like the FN P90) and fed through a special extraction system. The rounds are stored in a 6 x 10 arrangement, with six columns of ten rounds. The extraction system is based on the never made LMG11 system. Designer Karl Erns used this as the method to operate a high capacity weapon with the small size of a carbine. In fact, the HK77UKSE is only slightly larger than the FN P90. This is fed into a recoil operated, rotating breach system that aligns the round to the chamber of the weapon, using a small flap. The firing pin used to fire the round is right behind it, thus eliminating the rod needed to absorb the recoil, allowing the weapon to be smaller. With this design, this is able to provide an impressive 500 rpm capability. The receiver itself is below the barrel, right after the chamber. Thus producing a weapon with good all around firepower and large ammunition capacity, yet staying compact.
Clip design
Naturally, the weapon had to be redesigned, allowing for the larger round length, but the operation of the weapon is the same. It does make the weapon somewhat bulkier, but subsequent testing has ensured the rifle will not be too much of a hindarance. Other features include a Smartlink II sytem, with COT interface, which is hooked up to a rangefinder, making the weapon very accurate at long ranges. Mounted in the scope handle is a Knopler 9x (IM-3) scope. The selector switch is the standard "0-1-3-30" configuration.
The weight of this clip is 1.2 kilos with a full 60 rounds inside. The clip itself pushes up the rounds from the bottom, with the extraction system taking the next available round. These clips are reusable, and are made of lightweight plastics. Fully loaded, the HK77UKSE weighs only 3.45 kilograms. Unloaded, the weapon weighs 1.95 kilograms. Backup iron sights are on top of the scope, and can also be used in low-light conditions. If needed, a secondary sighting system can be mounted as well. The weapon's barrel length is the same length, keeping the same 'footprint' as well as keeping costs down. This of course does not make the weapon unreliable, but a sure way of keeping performance similar, regardless of version. They also offer clip holders using the TAG FireForce II system, with a specialized holder that holds two clips.
Dissasembling the weapon for cleaning is also easy, with the weapon designed to be. The Rotating Breech system, despite it's complexity, is also easy to clean. A maintenance kit is installed in the butt of the rifle that has the proper tools to clean it. Additional kits cost 50¥ and weigh .2 kilgrams (weight for the weapon includes this). An instructional chip is also included with the weapon.
