      Shot one(semi auto only)with a 12.5 barrel pinned to 16. With a 4 inch flash hider. It was getting to dusk but the sun was still visible. Out of my peripheral vision around the what must have been a 1ft diameter fireball hiding everything in front of me. Except what was down the site picture of a hk91's 100 yard/meter site. I could see the faces of the people 5 shooting benches over lighting up with every shot. Like for a mere moment the sun came back bright. After shot 8 or 9 they moved the last 6 benches over. So we were on the ends of the range positions. They still didn't stay long. Also ian's right when shooting everything fades to just noise and recoil. I can not imagine shooting that anywhere but in a field. Cause for me it left a minor ring to my ears through my ear pro and some spots in my vision.

It had something like a 1½-inch barrel. You could feel the blast through the divider walls between the lanes. When he was done, there was a visible fan pattern of unburned powder on the floor in front of his station. Everybody who worked there stopped what they were doing and gathered around to marvel at how much extra money this guy had paid someone to ruin a perfectly good, already quite expensive revolver for him.

    My understanding is that the reason why British SF were interested in this wasn't to be used for CQB in buildings.
    It was for using in Northern Ireland (among other places) for use in vehicles, and on vehicles.
    It was found that the 5.56mm of the day was not very good at punching rounds through car wind shields and having enough energy left over to accurately hit what you are shooting at on the other side, with lethal effect.
    So this was a solution that allowed a trooper to easily maneuver a significantly powerful weapon inside a car, and be able to engage other cars and the occupants there of.
    I don't know about now, but at the time one of the the counter ambush tactics used, if you were ambushed while inside a car, was to fire through the wind shield.
    9mm and 5.56mm will obviously shatter the wind shield, and subsequent rounds going through the now open space would be useful.
    This cut out the middle man and both shattered the wind shield, and the first round was immediately useful.
    At least that's what I heard, but I'm not now, nor have ever been a member of the SAS, so could be wrong.
    But it sounded plausible at the time.

He mentioned, a FN with a folding stock from Argentina, or a short barreled H&K G3... but I wonder if that was why this thing (HK51) was considered.

      7.62 NATO bullet velocity loses about 25fps per inch you take off. The G3K with a 12.4inch barrel was already running into reported velocity issues with people asking for hotter loads to compensate. I feel like if you were running an 8inch barrel G3 (basically) you'd need a load so hot you were basically killing people with the powder burn or just need to be in dick touching range and use a more sensible load. Even off more modern things the SCAR-H "CQC" is only a 13inch barrel aswell and really I think anyone thats seriously tested it has seen that going much lower than 13inch with a 7.62 just isn't making much sense.
      If that was truly a situation that needed a more specialized gun I'd start looking into ways to modify receivers, perhaps a foregrip/bipod assembly of some description designed to brace into a door window and be fired with the stock collapsed, or who knows what actual designers would come up with.
      My guess is someone was like "hey the AK74u has an 8inch barrel, LETS DO THIS SHIT!" and failed to realize they also swapped to the 5.45 round so it would actually function ok.

    If I remember correctly, the demand for these came from Northern Ireland, where 7.62 was deemed necessary for contacts with gunmen in vehicles, often from other vehicles - hence the folding stock. Until the HK51s were procured, folding stock FN FALs captured in the Falklands were used, as they were more compact than the L1A1 SLR and could be used in fully automatic.

    The 51 is an interesting and dramatic weapon to fire, like was said the concussion you feel when shooting is eye opening and if its dark or near dark around the amount flame coming from the muzzle of gun is incredible, its instant night blindness to the shooter for sure and anybody who happens to be looking at the muzzle. The gun is of course and H&K so the quality is superb as is it reliability. The 51 was originally developed and built by a class III builder who also just happened to be one of the largest H&K dealers in the US his company was Fleming Firearms. Well Gordon had been getting asked about a firearm like the 51 the problem is H&K didnt make it, Gordon kept asking them to develop and there is a market for this gun. Finally H&K got back to him and told him that what he was asking for was impossible to build and if they could it wouldn't work so they wanted no part of this! Well then Gordon decided that he would build it himself, which he did. The gun came in two versions initially one was a detachable magazine fed and the other was a belt fed, both of course select fire and besides the short barrel they operate and take down just like every other H&K. I remember when I got the first brochure from Gordon introducing the gun and the price without the tax stamp was 2,300.00$, my first thought was who in the heck is going to pay that much for this gun? Had I only knew! The 51 is reasonably accurate in semi-auto I have found that 3" to 4" at 100 meters is the norm with factory sights off a bench. They always had a few 51s at Knob Creek and I was going to suggest if your there you can rent a 51 to give it a try, well we all know the story on the Knob!
    Great gun, extremely invigorating/visceral to fire all in all its worth anybody's time and money to give it a try!

      The thing is, if you shorten the barrel past a certain point for any rifle round, it loses all the benefits OF that rifle round. Too little barrel gives too little velocity and the projectiles no longer fragment, reducing their wounding potential below the larger diameter pistol calibers.

    Many years ago, before the GCA of 1986, I was a huge SOT dealer, selling probably 20+ NFA weapons a week. I had one of pretty much anything you could imagine. I had, and still have, a Fleming conversion HK51. I found it was more controllable than a full size 7.62 rifle like the G3, M14 or FAL Those do climb like mad, the 51 doesn't. It does make an M60 sound like a .22 in comparison. It will take your breath away, from the blast on your chest, and I'm scared to try and suppress it for fear of grenading a suppressor, but it is a blast (literally).
    I've chronographed it, and found that a good .300 Blackout from an equal barrel length is every bit as good, but who cares about practicality when you've got an MP5 in 7.62???

      In that application, they make some sense. Civilian cars are not particularly bullet resistant, but if you are want to be certain your bullets are getting through the stuff you want to get through in a car, a lower-power 7.62mm round from a carbine is generally going to do it better than even a very-hot 9mm from an SMG. Definitely will tear up an engine more consistently, and consistency is what you are aiming for when investing in a specialist tool like this. Mind, the problem comes when someone invariably tries to bring it out of the cars and into other situations where it is definitely suboptimal.
