The HK416 is really a bad rifle. It's a jam-o-matic. The entire article was a stab at HK marketing department. It was an attack on HK hype machine and their ability to get away with anything including but not limited to complete ultra lies.

Here is a HK416 video without the HK marketing department behind it. Keep in mind the people were testing suppressors and not the HK416.

The M16 DI family are use by the majority of Western SF. The Norwegian military adopted the HK416 yet their SF use Canadian's build M4 DI.

The civilian version of the HK416 cost around $4,000 and does not use the standard pivotal pins layout. In other words you can't switch HK upper and lower with standard AR15 upper and lower.
Thanks for the vids. I've heard from a couple of sources (online) now that the forearm has overheating issues. Which makes perfect sense, because the G36 has had the exact same problem for years now, and the piston used in the 416 is almost identical to that of the G36.

Interesting what you've said about Norwegian SF.
