Our German friends are probably laughing at this thread.
Here is a good video. Lots of these I say incorrectly.

Here is a list of 10 firearms that are commonly mispronounced at gun ranges around the country. The list includes • Mosin • Steyr • Kalashnikov • Garand • Dragunov • Sturmgewehr • Tavor • Heckler Und Koch • Makarov • Saiga
Koch is one that really annoys me, the ex NYC Mayor Mr Cosh and an idiot Aussie TV host who also pronounces his name as Cosh instead of Cock with a rolling guttural growl at the end. Impossible to type in English.
This post fits in well with the opening topic. And it good education value.
Indeed, agreed!
