Glad I found this thread. I'm a huge sucker who falls for the "1 of X produced" far too often, and I had rose tinted glasses on so bad that I still have thorns in my eyes and I missed some of the glaring issues with this. Placed an order around an hour ago and have already requested a refund. I mean it would be cool to own, and the current price ($2900) is a lot better than the original 5-6k at the begining of the thread, but it was a panic buy that I really can't justify just to LARP around with. I also was unaware that there's no A5 version of the 320.

Very deceptive marketing currently, since the manufacturer is still not listed in the title, nor is clone mentioned. The description sounds like it's a genuine HK item with a limited run in 37mm, up until you get to the tiny part tucked away saying it's that KaleKallip, which is easy to miss when you are a buyer in full on FOMO mode.

My personal opinion is the previous listings they had were outright fraudulent, and they've done the bare minimum to create plausible deniability since they are still not being very forthright with what they are selling.


Edit* they cancelled my order. I mentioned the title should include clone or the actual MFG name and not have it hidden at the bottom of the description and they had the audacity to act like it's super obvious this isn't a real HK and that they don't mention HK anywhere in the listing (peep second sentence of the description). Not only that the "bottom" of the description is in the middle of a wall of text... it's the bare minimum transparency to have plausible deniability, but there's very little attempt to be upfront about what this item really is. Also, i brought up the nomenclature being that of HKs and with no clear MFG in the title, its suggestive of being HK, and they said the nomenclature is of CAPCO For the US military. The launchers the US army have are HK and are marked HK as far as I'm aware, from my sample size of one I've gotten to experience, so I dont find that comment convincing at all.

Disappointing experience since I've had decent interactions with them in the past.

I hope you are able to recover your funds. In terms of value for your money, I’d recommend considering either the TommyBuilt 37mm signaling devices or the B&T 37mm models available through AU. They’re much better buys in my opinion.

I've wanted the TB one but it's been OOS for as long as I've known it existed. I assume it's a limited production item that won't be making any new appearances any time soon. (EDIT I checked TBT and it's not on their sighted anymore, so I'm assuming it was a limited run)

I saw this and it looked similar enough at a glance to a 320 and has the LIMITED PRODUCTION 1 OF 100 bolded at the top of the description, so I FOMOd and rushed to throw my money at them without doing any due diligence, because unfortunately in the world of HK, sometimes its buy first ask questions later because otherwise youll miss your opportunity.

Thankfully. I believe I'll get my money back, they've been good to me before on cancelations, at least if I'm fast about it.

HK made some of the launchers for the US Military, but the overwhelming majority are manufactured for the US Military under contract by Capco. M320 isn’t a Capco designation, rather a US Military designation for the GLM 40mmm HK launcher.

Regardless the Turkish 37mm signaling device that they refer to as an “A5” variant has nothing to do with the M320, Capco, or HK. It’s a poorly executed clone of questionable quality.

The fact that they originally attempted to pass these off as HK products shows their true intent.

Please update us and let us know if they cancel and refund your order.
 
I've seen a post by Launcherpope on Instagram where someone seems to have used one of his 40mm barrel blanks to convert one of these into a DD! Kinda makes me want to get one now but still also kind of turned off that it's still just an unlicensed copy of an M320
 
Thanks. I'll check that out. The unlicensed copy thing doesn't bother me as much as the bogus HK Logo, that is now apparently covered up by the QR code. I wonder if they got duped into these and had to get creative with removal/rebranding.
