I tried Mannlicher Schoenauer in Austrian but Google did not understand.

Our German friends are probably laughing at this thread.

10 Gun Names You Are Definitely Saying Wrong (And How To Pronounce Them Properly)

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.
