==== Abbreviations ==== Most HK products have a [[prefix]] of between one and three letters, corresponding to a word or term in German (though some refer to English terms instead, with no German equivalent). Several were only used for a single model, such as the "Universal" weapons ([[Heckler & Koch UMP|UMP]], [[Heckler & Koch UCP|UCP]], [[Heckler & Koch UMP#Variants|USC]], and [[Heckler & Koch USP|USP]]). Some abbreviations are used as a [[suffix]] to designate specific variants. {| class="wikitable" !Letter !German meaning !English equivalent !Placement !Designation !Example |- |'''HK''' |N/A |Heckler & Koch |Prefix |Basic prefix for HK products with no specific meaning |[[Heckler & Koch HK417|HK417]], [[Heckler & Koch HK45|HK45]] |- |'''A''' |''Ausführung'' |Model Variant Version |Suffix |Variants of existing designs |"[[Heckler & Koch G3|G3]]" refers to the original G3 rifle with a wooden [[handguard]] and fixed [[Stock (firearms)|stock]]; "[[G3A1|G3<u>A1</u>]]" refers to the G3 variant with a wooden handguard and a retractable stock; "[[G3A2|G3<u>A2</u>]]" refers to the G3 variant with a plastic handguard and fixed stock; etc. |- |'''G''' |''Gewehr'' |Rifle |Prefix |Rifles, primarily those intended to be issued as service rifles |[[Heckler & Koch G41|G41]] |- | rowspan="2" |'''K''' |''Kurz'' |Short | rowspan="2" |Suffix |Compact, shortened variants of handguns and submachine guns |[[Heckler & Koch MP5#MP5K|MP5K]] |- |''Karabiner'' |Carbine |Carbine variants of rifles |[[Heckler & Koch G36K|G36K]] |- |'''C''' |N/A |Compact |Suffix |Compact, shortened variants of rifles |[[Heckler & Koch G36C|G36C]] |- | rowspan="2" |'''AG''' |''Anbau-Gerät'' |Attached Device | rowspan="2" |Prefix | rowspan="2" |Weapon attachments, primarily underbarrel grenade launchers | rowspan="2" |[[Heckler & Koch AG-C/EGLM|AG-C/EGLM]] |- |''Anbaugranatwerfer'' |Attached Grenade Launcher |- |'''GMG''' |N/A |Grenade Machine Gun | rowspan="2" |Full name | rowspan="2" |Automatic grenade launchers | rowspan="2" |[[Heckler & Koch GMG|GMG/GMW]] |- |'''GMW''' |''Granatmaschinenwaffe'' |Automatic Grenade Launcher |- |'''MG''' |''Maschinengewehr'' |Machine Gun |Prefix |Machine guns and squad automatic weapons |[[Heckler & Koch MG4|MG4]] |- |'''MP''' |''Maschinenpistole'' |Machine Pistol Submachine Gun |Prefix |Submachine guns, machine pistols, and personal defense weapons |[[Heckler & Koch MP5|MP5]] |- |'''MSG''' |''Militärisches Scharfschützengewehr'' |Military Sharpshooting Rifle |Prefix |Sharpshooting rifles designed specifically for military use |[[Heckler & Koch PSG1#MSG90|MSG90]] |- |'''PSG''' |''Präzisionsschützengewehr'' |Precision Sharpshooter Rifle |Prefix |Sharpshooting rifles in general |[[Heckler & Koch PSG1|PSG1]] |- |'''PSP''' |''Polizei-Selbstlade-Pistole'' |Police Self-Loading Pistol |Full name |Self-loading handguns designed specifically for law enforcement use |[[Heckler & Koch P7|PSP]] |- |'''SD''' |''Schalldämpfer'' |Sound Dampener Suppressor |Suffix |Weapon variants which are integrally-suppressed or designed to be used with a [[suppressor]] |[[MP5SD]] (for integrally-suppressed weapons) [[USP Tactical|USP9 SD]] (for weapons with an extended threaded barrel intended for suppressors) |- |'''SG''' |''Scharfschützengewehr'' |Sharpshooters Rifle |Suffix |Weapon variants designed for [[sharpshooting]] |[[G3SG/1]] |- |'''SK''' |''Subkompakt'' |Subcompact |Suffix |Extra-compact variants of handguns, usually for [[concealed carry]] |[[Heckler & Koch P2000 SK|P2000 SK]] |- |'''SL''' |''Selbstlader'' |Autoloader |Prefix |Self-loading [[Semi-automatic rifle|semi-automatic]] firearms, usually rifles, intended for hunting and the civilian market |[[Heckler & Koch SL8|SL8]] |- |'''UMP''' |N/A |Universal Machine Pistol |Prefix |A specific submachine gun intended to replace the MP5 as a universal-role submachine gun |[[Heckler & Koch UMP|UMP]] |- |'''UCP''' |N/A |Universal Combat Pistol |Prefix |A specific handgun intended to be the companion sidearm to the [[Heckler & Koch MP7|MP7]] |[[Heckler & Koch UCP|UCP]] |- |'''USC''' |N/A |Universal Self-Loading Carbine |Prefix |The semi-automatic civilian market variant of the UMP submachine gun |[[Heckler & Koch UMP#Variants|USC]] |- |'''USP''' |''Universale Selbstladepistole'' |Universal Self-Loading Pistol |Prefix |A specific handgun designed for the American civilian market |[[Heckler & Koch USP|USP]] |- |'''VP''' |''Volkspistole'' |People's Pistol |Prefix |Handguns, usually [[polymer]]-[[Receiver (firearms)|framed]], intended for the civilian market |[[Heckler & Koch VP70|VP70]], [[Heckler & Koch VP9|VP9]], [[Heckler & Koch VP9|VP40]] |- | rowspan="2" |'''ZF''' | rowspan="2" |''Zielfernrohr'' | rowspan="2" |Telescopic Sight |Postfix |Weapon variants not necessarily intended for sharpshooting that come with a [[telescopic sight]] and claw mount |[[G3A3ZF]] |- |Prefix |Telescopic sight models, typically those produced in cooperation with [[Hensoldt]] |[[Heckler & Koch PSG1|ZF 6x42 PSG1]] |}
