German Special Forces Sniper Rifle: Haenel G29
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ต.ค. 2024
- In this episode of TFBTV, @JamesReeves visits Haenel at EnforceTac to discuss their RS8/RS9 line of sniper rifles, famously used by German special forces as the G29.
According to Haenel's webpage:
"With RS8 / RS9, C.G. Haenel from Suhl offers a sniper rifle system specially developed for police and military use. The bolt-action rifle sets a benchmark in ergonomics and modularity. The weapon can be adjusted to the shooter’s needs and the situation without tools. A modern precision rifle that combines high functionality with impressive precision. The RS9 has been introduced in the Bundeswehr as the G29; likewise in various special units of the German police. The production process behind the system complies with industry standard ISO9001 and NATO standards."

You gotta love that German honesty.
He got a good heart. 👍 he ain't a greedy MF
I live here , when I came here first , was surprised to know that no one advertised their product with actions like the best pizza in town, the best burger in town, or the best car service , insurance service in town city state etc . There are laws against it, the kartelamt or competition commission deems such advertising illegal and can impose huge fines. What you can do is to make some magazine, Lab, university do a comparative study on your products vs your competitors and then say that according to such and such research by so and so , my product is best among the studied options on these parameters. Germans are honest because the system here does not allow you to get away with dishonesty, and over time when you see that dishonesty does not pay well, you tend to be honest.
@@atherzaidi5871 that is beautiful and I wish it were that way everywhere.
We worked with an element of German shooters from the KSK when I was at Triple Canopy in July of 09. I remember thinking that almost all of their standard issue kit was gear I would spend an irresponsible and dangerous amount of money on in the US.
yeah they are kitted out, the average rifle man not so much though haha...
The European gun shows are represented by the engineers, at shotshow they are represented by used car salesman
Well, IWA is a closed professional trade show, you can't get in without credentials or with an invitation or with a press pass. And even press access is limited to relevant publications unfortunately. It used to be open for press in general and I was able to get in a few years ago, but it seems they had too many encounters with anti-gun leftist journalists who were looking for "scandals".
😂😂😂
Not true. I watched lots of shotshow and IWA coverage. At shotshow several heads of project management (R&D) were there doing interviews for their companies, and at IWA the CZ booth had a guy that couldn't even answer all the questions about the rifle.
@@mr.mercury4247 na he is correct shotshow is a shitshow with used car salesmen
We have to make suppressors out of inconel and stainless because they have to last. They can make them out of aluminum because they are practically mandatory but god forbid they have a flashlight.😂😂
That highly depends on the country. In Germany, cans are restricted for certain work related use and licensed hunters. If you're on a range in Poland you might be required to have one to keep the noise down. We can't have lights and lasers based similarly to US BS rules...some politicians find something scary based on movies and they want to ban it. Lights could be focused to shoot from the hip and they don't like that. Go to Austria and they can have all of that. At least not a tax stamp for attaching a stock, but the prices are so high as if it was included with all firearms. -.-
Yeah what I heard was Germany doesnt care about identifying targets. Just let it rip 😂
@@robertmace4501 passive aiming is king 😅
Aluminium*

What a job
Yeah, James speaks pretty well considering his first language was "Florida man"
‚it‘s not.‘ marketing departement wants him fired, vs. customers appreciating an honest, no bs company placing orders. well done mate, you should get a raise!
Felix is the MAN when describing his products. Very savvy 🤙🏽
That suppressor on the Haenel looked like it would cause some painal.
That's what she said.
That guy really knows his job. Great interview.
Great video, nice rifles! I've never seen that type of tripod attachment, really cool.
@OFFICIALUND The crux ordnance tripods are really cool for sure.
That guy was pretty cool
Germany has weird laws. Here in Sweden we can have any accessories attached to our rifles and suppressors are over the counter items
brits would refuse to belive you, they would tell that guns are banned every ware except for evil USA
@@geezerp1982 tell them i own 5 AR15 😂
@@manganvbg90 i would definintly not belive you , they would scream at you "europe is not america, be thankful for the government bans on guns "
@@geezerp1982 my 10 scarry black rifles goes pew…… lucky UK isnt EU anymore. I think all eu countries except cyprus allows people to have these guns. Some unfortunately have mag restrictions but here its any capacity you want, except while hunting.
@@manganvbg90 even in sheep uk were its still actually a consitutional right to own a gun (the US 2a comes from the english bill of rights ) we can still own guns except for short barrel pistols and centre fire ARs have to be converted to straight pull

That’s one impressive sales guy!
I've never been interested in Haenel before but now I may have to try.
@kilgor5793 They make all their stuff in Germany, i thing their screws are coming from France or Belgium but idk.
I'm American AF but the European manufacturers have some really nice stuff 👌
Glad we're on the same team dude :)) winning combo
Always been a fan of HK, Kalashnikov, Steyr Arms, pretty much my favorite. I try to own clones from all those companies. Ingram, Armalite are my favorite U.S.
@@777SFINN777 How on Earth could you put Kalashnikov into the same company as HK and Steyr ? They're in completely different galaxy. Kalashnikov is a piece of crap. As everything that came from Russia anyways.
I’m guessing it’s because European Firearm manufacturers make their money from military and LE contracts so quality can’t be sh*t. Americans can make money through consumers.
@@OFFICIALUND There's some merit to what you say in firearms specifically but Boeing wouldn't be what it is if what you said was broadly true. Nor countless other engineering/manufacturing accomplishments. Bubba can make one hell of a machine if you let him anyway, it's what his boss makes him do that fucks it
Gun = okay
Flashlight = okay
Gun with flashlight = THAT'S DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL!!!
It's even more hilarious than that, because flashlights with gun mounts are forbidden items in Germany. Totally illegal. You can't even own a flashlight with a gun mount if you don't own any guns.
Excellent company.
All the best to Haenell... Worthy of investment and admiration. 🤔 I have a few rifles, I would settle for that tripod setup 😍😘🥰
This one checks off a lot of boxes for me. I’d love to have one.
Really enjoying this coverage!
most honest dude, it isn't the best sniper rifle... It's just a very good one! Of course the mission chooses the type of rifle....
Retired mil here. spent a lot of time as instructor across the pond. You gave this young man a lot of space to show gun. He did a great job. Well done.
Really awesome video. As always, tfbtv delivers great content!
now THAT is a gorgeous sniper rifle. No bullshit, straight forward, sleek, sexy.
I can't wait to go to bed tonight and dream about owning one of these rifles.
Haenel also make hunting rifles, High quality hunting rifles. 🇩🇪
They also won the contract for the new German army assault rifle, but HK took them to court and apparently they had copied the HK design. So the court awarded the contract to HK.
A very great neat interesting video and sniper rifles Mr.James. Like sauerkraut und snitzel.That aluminum silencer is great to be carried inside a shorts. Have a good one and keep these videos flowing.
Made my ass hungry.
@@lestercombs1871 Thank you.
Gotta love that peanut butter finish wow
Jeez that thing is sick
Weird how we are in 2023 and still we have precision sniper rifles that are bolt action..!!
The last bolt gun I got was the M40A5, Mk-13. The last semi-auto I used was the Mk39 and DMR….with the M2A stock.
After retirement I shoot the Barrett Mk-22….a retired Marine’s best friend
Yeah. Bolted short actions are pretty much ready for retiring. There are ofc use cases, but the semis just offer more.
What a beaut
As a swede owning a Haenel CR308, the one thing that bugged me allot was that they shiped it with keymod instead of m-lock when there are m-lock handguards avaliable from Haenel them selves. Other than that i love my pew pew mew mew thingmabob!
Did you try calling them to say you wanted a different handguard? They might have been willing to accommodate you.
@@Pyreleaf Yes, they refered me to the distributor who gave me a redonculous price :(
@@JarlBSoD just to swap out the handguard? That's unreasonable.
@@Pyreleaf no swap, i would have to buy the M-lock one. and after paying roughly 4000 EUR for a pew pew i don't feal like dishing out another 450 EUR.
@JarlBSoD lame, that should have just been a standard option in the first place, and at that price you'd expect better customer service.
a good interview
That thing is gorgeous.
"It's not...." love it.
Great Channel!!
Best tripods I've ever seen.
German craftsmanship and innovation and engineering skills have always been extremely exceptional. I seriously hope we get these rifles in America because I definitely would buy them. I don't see why the atf would oppose them and deny Americans freedom of choice and safety. I respect the new short piston tech that sends the gases away from our faces so were not breathing in gun powder. Everyone could benefit from something like that.
James - more details on the tripod and tripod head… please. 👀
Every time I heard HLR all I could think of was Hunt’s Long Range.
That frickin’ suppressor though!!! Europeans like them long. LOL
When is "Rhodesian shorts"review coming?
If you are a hunter in germany you can buy a suppressor just like any other rifle but it’s illegal to even own a mound that can attaches your flash light to a rifle.
So, I am sure they are out of my price range but was wandering about those Tripod mounted Gimbels that were in this video. And if you had any info to share on them. Not sure if you read any of these comments, but if you do and can share anything about them or a US based company that makes these rated for guns. Also, any on the ones in video.?????
Just look up the photography ones, that what they are using. Unless you are using a high recoil rifle, they will withstand typical firearm recoil. It's dogshit for accuracy though.
I'd love a .338 lapua one. Are they even coming to the USA?
Falls du das liest Felix, guter Mann.
Thanks James!!!👍🇺🇸👊🤗
I heard 5.11 is cutting costs on there products and using cheaper material but still charging the same price for less reliable products.
How much is that damn TRIPOD? What brand is it?
I’ve been looking I can’t find it anywhere
It's from a german company called Blackforest Precision. But be prepared ;) only the gimbal is already 1600€, but their stuff is definitly worth it. There is another company near Ulm specialized in weapon tripods. It is called Müller Schiesszentrum Ulm. They produce the Rangegear Serie which is really neat and not that expensive.
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland
I still think Haenel losing the new Bundeswehr assault rifle trials is a damn scandal. Well, strictly speaking, they won, but it did them no good.
Yes it's a damn shame imo
We should send Felix a Weapon light
I'm passingly familiar with them. Interesting.
So he says the barrel and receiver is one piece? Is the barrel tig welded to the receiver action?
That suppressor tho
God forbid they can properly identify what they're going to shoot at with a light
Self defense using firearm is most likely illegal.
We can own guns in Germany but the right to defend yourself is not worth the papper it is written on.
It's a wonder we can still own things like ARs at all, they recently tried to crack down on it, luckily one of the more liberty leaning governing parties vetoed against the ban.
The only two reasons you get a gun permit in Germany are sports shooting and hunting. Any type of "defensive shooting training" is strictly prohibited, even camo clothing at the range can get you in trouble. We're not even allowed opaque barriers or closed doors on IPSC stages, because that would be "defensive" or "military" type training...
You are not allowed to hunt with artificial light and self defense with a gun in Germany basically never happens so its not really necessary..
They need to make 10/22 barrels in 21".
Europe has some cool stuff
I'd like to see you review dead foot ARMS AR MP9 & AR SD9. ALSO bull armory released 8 new guns peace Brother
Hire the engineer who doesn't think your rifles are absolutely perfect.
What tripod and head is that?

Neat
A old question? Is it first generation? You have to get out all the Kinks and problems in the first gen.
its the successor of the rs9 that was introduced in 2016
These things are ridiculously sexy but I’ll be damned if these get imported and manage to be under 6k.
I have the Haenel cr223 / BT-15 and its incredible. But even that set me back $3000. I could see this being closer to 10k... but tbh likely wont be imported at all. B&T would have been the most likely company to import such rifles especially since they have a new line of products that are specifically euro imports (cr223 was beta test of this line, dragunov is first actual product in the B&T imported product line)... unfortunately i dont know if B&T will continue to do importation work with the company haenel because of how abrupt the cr223 deal ended with HK filing lawsuits over the designs. Who knows though, maybe they will continue. That would likely be the only way we see this rifle in the USA in any meaningful numbers. I personally will not buy any more proprietary imported rifles since if anything breaks you will have a hard time fixing it or getting replacement parts. B&T has 0 replacement parts because of how quickly the cr223 importation was ended. Cr223 users are relegated to buying HK 416 parts which are very expensive or just buying a second cr223 as parts. I would hate to spend more than 3000 and be in the same boat regarding replacement parts. anything near 10k and its just better to buy an Accuracy International which has replacement parts availability or a B&T APR338.
The predecessor, the RS9, costs around 8,000 Euros in Germany.
Only if the $ rises above the € a lot more😂 this is a 8000-10000€+ Gun
@@Rakete96 at 8000euro itd be only 8500 usd, its not much of a difference.
@@BR-hh1bb I looked it up again current retail is 8243.90€ it’s civilian designation is RS 9
with import tex, import cost itself plus profit for the FFL I doubt that this rifle would be selling in the US for under 10k
Ma la Germania ,dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, non aveva l' interdizione alla costruzione delle armi da guerra?
What were u holding at 0:08 the red thing
A drone-jammer?
That huge Manfrotto tripod might be more expensive than the beautiful rifle it’s holding.
I don't think so... the predecessor of this gun, the RS9, costs around 8,00 Euros.

@user-ss1jy7jf7q appreciate it brother, Much love🤟🤟
I thought Haenel got seized production because of the HK lawsuit?
It wasn't that bad from what I read. They had to recall very few of their rifles and they didn't get the big contract. But other than that, not much happened.
@@maximilianmustermann5763 ohhhhh that’s why, it was about the contract because Haenel was going to be awarded the contract. They’re cheaper than h&k and h&k got mad
@@ghost-do8fg Well, some say that Haenel basically had "the same" rifle for a lower price. But on the other hand, it's a 556 based on the AR platform, so what really is H&Ks argument...
H&K actually had a patent on some special borings that allow water to drain quickly after submersion in water. And Haenel had the same bore holes in their rifle.
Hey, somebody call @ 50 Shades of FDE
"Haenel was manufacturing the STG44 originally."
That's an interesting thing to be bragging about.
Cool gun. Weird flex though.
Most Germans participated in the war effort. I'm sure this guy has close relatives who were involved.
If a German company from today was around back in the 1940 chances are they provided services to the German military. You know Mercedes, Volkswagen. Heckler and Koch was started by guys who where making guns for the Germans. I find it weird his comment offended you so much. He was just saying haenel has been making quality guns since the 40s.
BMW employee here, our company made some fine cruise missile engines.
Cant wait to not buy it for 4.5k that I don't have! Looks nice though....
No lights or lasers in Germany??? Man Germany used to be kool
You know you can attach them to the rifle right this is special forces they always get the best stuff you can attach and dettach rails to put on lights etc...
not easy to get a supressor in germany. As a hunter no problem but other than that tough luck. And hunter courses are expensive and pretty difficult to pass
Because they're hunters not simply shooters as many in the US.
Can't have a WML? What about a hand-held light and some duct tape? Ist das erlaubt?
Nein :)
German Politicians: "You should never be able to see what you are aiming or shooting at."
Well Germans dont like to shoot at people they are not americans.
Immer Deutsche Waffen sind die besten Waffen der Welt.Ich liebe Deutschland💖
😮
Where is german intro?
Mau nay dep ok
Oh, eine neue Airsoft, Sniper-Rifle aus der ehem. DDR
Wasnt Haenel kicked out of German army?
Not with these sniper rifles, they have been selling those to German special forces for a couple years in smaller quantities. Then they won a bid on over 120K MK556 rifles for the German military but H&K sued them for patent infringement on some small part in the rifle, and they won. The German military then gave the contract to H&K.
Haenel, the company that mentioned to successfully get sued for patent infringement on an ar... By hk. Kinda funny
The only problem with this rifle is that it can't shoot through body armor.
Most rifles can't penatrate body armor, so aim for the head.
You wouldn’t be standing there if it was 1944 Germany.
In belgium 🇧🇪 we can't bay a suppressor for example 😮😢😭 😤
Only hunters are allowed silencers in Germany
saya berharap senapan ini akan dimiliki oleh tni .......
my girlfriend loves haenel
I never understood why Lights are a No Go here. ... Laser i somewhat can understand, same with Night Vision Gear and potentially "Harmful" things. (If used wrong)
I mean, kids blind Pilots with normal Laserpointers now imagine these kids with IR Night vision Gear (from there Dad) 😐. No Thx .. but light? Come on.
I can have a Flashlight,
I can have a Gun
So why not both together ?
It's just dumb... but like Always Tape is the Answer to the Problem. 🤣
7k for a rifle that is not more accurate than an Ar-10, nor can it do the job better.
I had a look at the rs8/9 and although it’s a top noch gun, I hate the color scheme of the gun , that was all over the place .
James...no Ghostbusters jokes? The guy says they are from Zeul and you dont immediately say, "Was your founder Gozer the Gozerian?" Or how about, "I am the Keymaster." Maybe, "You got anything here that can cross streams?" C'mon!
The place is called Suhl, not Zeul

Deutschland. My great grandpa loved guns. He joined the military when he was 14 and retired after WW2. Made his son join the military. Made his grandkids join the military. He would say " For the Kaiser " my mom was German Intelligence & my dad was Spec Ops 101st. I wanted to enlist in 2003 but they wouldn't let me be Airborne. They wanted me to be a helicopter rappell man for 5 years then demolitions for 4 years before I could go jump out of a airplane. . & Become airborne
Thanks for sharing theze German riflez
That's the most retarded lie I think I've ever heard. If you "wanted" to enlist, you would've. You didn't.
My dad joined the army with 16, risked his life and health for crazy politicians and did not encourage me to risk my life for crazy politicians and I don´t encourage my kids to risk their lives for crazy politicians. If you want to serve your country, than be a good husband, a good brother, a good father and not by killing people in remote countries for evil politicians.
Weird how there's no German accent mocking comments on this video too. I'm starting to think maybe this racism thing is real.
I think setting that up at my place might draw issue with the HOA
