Why the HD models replace the MP5 and Glock?
So i played this game when i was young and decided to buy it again. I searched for the MP5 and Glock and only saw an M4 and a Beretta 92. Then i was told that if you remove the HD models it's the MP5 and the Glock. So i did that and now they are back. But why? Why are these weapons reskined to other weapons??

In my opinion they are a better fit, having American weapons for an American facility and military.

Yup. Probably someone pointed out that, and someone at valve took it seriously. So they made M16 that fires 9mm from rifle mag, lol. There's actual 9mm CAR-15, Colt 635, but it looks completely different than one in HL.

As for replacing Glock with Beretta, security in such places are often ex-military, and these guys tend to be most comfortable with weapons they used for years. Though I probably put more thinking into that than valve did.

If you're really bugged by the weapon replacements then try modding.
There are some great obscure mods on Gamebanana. There's one that replaces the AR with a HD recreation of the MP5 with the same definition and consistency of the HD pack which is really neat: https://gamebanana.com/skins/153691
Modding is really easy, just drag and drop (preferably the HD folder)... oh and do remember to make backups.

originally the game was supposed to have an assault rifle in its alpha. The model for the Mp5 is still called "9mmAR" this was replaced with an MP5 later into development and the HD pack brought it back.

Yes, I had noticed that as well. I don't see any early alpha AR viewmodels, though. Perhaps they had cut it out really early in the development. Props to Gearbox for trying to recreate what was meant to be, then everyone bashes on the HD pack lmao
