I would like to get my hands on the HK416 or a Piston based M4
or M16. Mainly even though there are a lot of assualt rifle out
there but I have handle so many and still like the balance, weight,
accuracy , ergonomics and aviliability of parts for the M16 M4
system. The major flaw in the M16 is the direct gas system and the
magazine ! HK has all of those resolve with a piston based 416 and
the HK Mags!
HK totally resdeign the magazine ! it has differnt curve angle to
ease feeding and it is smooth as butter not like our cheaply made
M16 mags.
As for comparison to other rifle I think the Bullpup rifles like
the AUG, P2000 , FAMAS etc are great rifles but you have to
practically relearn your way of weapon handling and mag change is
always akward and trigger pull on most bullpup is alawys
terrible.
Only thing come close to the HK 416 IMHO is the SIG550
series!
