Heckler & Koch HK WSG2000

History

The HK WSG2000 is an abandoned anti-material rifle developed by the German firearms company Heckler & Koch GmbH. The design, which appeared as a proposal as early as 1990, was designed to fire a 9x90mm MEN bullet to disable target vehicles and penetrate fortifications. However, the design never moved beyond the mock-up stage, ultimately abandoning consideration for future development altogether - although mock-ups are believed to still exist in the Hong Kong facility today.

As a result, a working prototype was never completed, and few, if any, images exist today.

The WSG2000 had clean, futuristic lines for its time. The receiver is smooth and flat, running forward to form the front end. The pistol grip has been incorporated into the design for a secure grip with the trigger assembly placed directly forward. The rifle is fed from a 5-round detachable magazine located under the shoulder rest behind the pistol grip, making the WSG2000 a rifle design in a "bull" configuration. The shoulder rest extends all the way back and has an ergonomically curved design.

The optics will be attached to the upper front of the receiver. The barrel protrudes a short distance from the front housing. The gun measures 47.3 inches in length and weighs 17.6 pounds.
