Talk:Heckler & Koch USP

message: I think that this article should offer a screen shot from the popular video game, Counter Strike Source, because that is what every Counter Terrorist is issued with in the game.Defy You 03:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is about the weapon, not the game. The fact that the USP appears is your favorite video game (and another endless list of others) does not add anything to article. It already mentions the common appearance of the pistol in popular culture, even with a couple examples, and that's more than enough. --Squalla 04:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: From what I could find, it looks like some Special Operations forces have USP Tacticals that they sometimes use. Nburden (T) 16:23, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

text: The SEALS have a few, but all they do is sit in the armory gathering dust because noone wants to use a foot long, akward pistol  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.198.219.104 (talk) 00:43, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  US Special forces? 

message: I noticed it said "citation needed" for that bit where the silencer for the Mark 23 will not fit on the USP Tactical.  I have a source, it's my USP Tactical owners manual which states quite clearly in bold text "The MK23 sound suppressor cannot be attached to the USP45 Tactical pistol!" with exclamation point.  It adds (but not in bold) "A specifically designed sound suppressor is available for the USP45 Tactical pistol."  This information can be found on page 40 of the HK USP SERIES OPERATOR'S MANUAL.  So how would I cite this as a source, or can someone do it for me?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.74.245.106 (talk) 01:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I put up tags to integrate the P8 into this article. Same pistols, different name. The P8 also has plastic opaque magazines and a safety lever that was rotated 180 as requested by the Bundeswehr. Koalorka (talk) 17:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I completely support this merge. A different control lever setup and barrel are not enough to warrant a seperate article. Nburden (T) 17:30, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Support per WP:GUNS#Variants. Good catch Koalorka finding the P8's article.--LWF (talk) 20:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Should it be mentioned that this is the weapon that was discharged on US Airways flight 1536? Jdkessler (talk) 19:27, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not unless it can be shown that the incident to which you refer had an effect on the USP.--LWF (talk) 19:31, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  In-flight discharge 

message: The article states, about the bobbed hammer: "This reduces possible snag from the hammer on a  holster or clothing while the pistol is being drawn, but still allows the USP Compact to be cocked from a decocked or half-cocked position even in the absence of a spurred hammer."  In fact the USP Compact hammer is completely uncockable from a totally decocked position.  It's flush with the back of the frame.  From half-cock, it may SORT OF be cocked with difficulty. 68.101.130.214 (talk) 09:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

message: This weapon is also used by Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (EKAM)of the Hellenic Police. For more info see wiki page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.166.210.113 (talk) 22:58, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia cannot use itself as a source, and none of the sources at Special Anti-Terrorist Unit list the USP as a weapon used by EKAM. See: (1) and (2). ROG5728 (talk) 23:10, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

message: In the Variants section the text states that the Compact is introduced in 1996, yet further down in the article in the USP Compact sub-section the date changes to 1994. So which is it? Monoblocks (talk) 15:32, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I have heard today on German TV (and they filmed someone handling a slideshow printout with the photos) that the Bundeswehr is complaining about cracked P8 frames, but I don't have any additional information. 2001:7E8:C04A:FD01:223:54FF:FE15:1831 (talk) 00:06, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Acording to the Wikipedia page "List of individual weapons of the New Zealand armed forces" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_individual_weapons_of_the_New_Zealand_armed_forces
the Heckler & Koch USP is used by the New Zealand SAS, hence I believe that it should be added to the user list. I would do it myself but I was just checking if it was all ok. Feel free to add that Coolgeek96 (talk) 08:49, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  User Update 

message: HK made a 10-round magazine in .45ACP compatible with both the HK45 Compact and the USP Compact. Shall we add somewhere in the article (perhaps the infobox under magazine capacity) that the USP 45 Compact, which normally holds 8 rounds, can hold 8 or 10?

The previous article should verify it. (Magyar Idők is a serious newspaper in Hungary.)
I'm a newcomer here, I wouldn't touch the original article....please, edit it ;)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Szebenyovszky Tamás (talk • contribs) 06:39, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Heckler & Koch USP's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "auto":
From Bundeswehr: 
From Germany: 
From United States: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:58, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
