I've always just used the barrel assembly and the paddle mag release differences myself. It's not usually to hard to tell, and generally easy to figure out in old movies.
It seems like a close to fool proof method to me, as long as the weapon is important enough to be seen clearly. I see no reason it can't be applied to every HK94 conversion. |

I think we should somehow build pages like MPM's 12 Gauge Pump Shotgun page to help teach newer users how to tell these guns apart.

Okay, here's how to tell apart an M16A1 with A2 handguards and an M16A2/A3.
This is the M16A1 with A2 handguards. This is an M16A2 (same as A3, A3 is just full-auto instead of burst fire). Note how the gun has different rear sights (the addition of the windage sights), and has a shell deflector behind the ejection port. Also note how the A2/A3 has a heavier barrel.

Hey, thanks GM that's a helpful thing! Something I was curious about myself.
Could you direct me to the pump-shotgun page? That's an area I could use improvement in. |

Just type in 12 Gauge Pump Shotgun in the task bar, it will show up. It shows you how to compare a Mossberg, Remington, and Winchester shotgun. Also shows how to compare a 500 and 590 Mossberg. I hope he adds more to the page eventually, it is very useful to those who need it.

That is ... if you trust the info from an Armorer that you don't know personally, thus has no street cred internationally, thus every thing we say is suspect |
