The HK testing was bullshit, especially that over the beach test. I love how he shoots the 416 with just eye protection and then puts on a blast shield and the m4 just happens to blow up, as we all know m4s blow up when wet but hk makes indestructible uber guns.....

Has the 416 done any independent testing? HK is not the most trustworthy company and will just hype their product. I also heard these guns are luck to shoot 3moa.

Well that's because the HK tester KNEW FULL WELL that the M4 will blow up in his face. He was going in prepared as hell for it to destroy itself during the test. When the guy wore nothing during testing the 416, he was fully confident that the 416 would NOT blow up in his face. That's why he wore no protection, because he had faith in the 416, NOT the M4.

There had been some independent testings, and some say that the 416 might have overheating issues.

Norway (I think it is) adopted the HK416 and from what I've heard/read/etc., they've been having nothing but trouble with them. Though I don't recall any details ATM.

US Delta and Marines had tested the 416 out into the field, but I believe a while ago, I think they told the Marines to give the 416 back and use their M4s again, which they didn't like after they got used to the 416

yeah...that's real neat and all but uh...
on topic?
this is a ''pimp my gun'' thread, not a ''bitch about H&K and M4's'' thread.
so. lets stay on topic

Haven't really thought of what to do. I don't like the new format.

You said civilian rifles, so what better example than a really messed up AR-15 with California standards.
