For the most part, true. However, the German federal police used them, as did German SOF. Delta and the SEALs acquired a few too.

If, in the Twilight timeline, the German army had to revert to the G3 (once their G11s ran out of caseless ammo), I can see a few HK-21s being issued to some German troops as a SAW/LSW.

Anyway, whatever the case, I really like 'em.
