M416 is a H&K receiver and mag set of components installed on a M16 frame... think of it as a Styker of Rifles.

Thanks Hiro. I like it, a definite improvement. So if it's going to replace the M4 why aren't the USMC figures armed with it?

 

[katadder]

perhaps its too new a weapon for USMC, after all they are only bog standard infantry. prob be on the US spec forces though.

 

[Hiromoon]

Actually USSCOM's going with the FN SCAR.

The M416, or currently, the HK 416, is a compeditor after the XM8 started looking too pricey. So HK made the 416, which basically slaps that wonderful HK tech on the aging M4/16 frame, giving you the ability to fire your weapon even if fully submerged.

Also, because of the USMC's ties with the USSCOM, you'll probably see the USMC adopting the FN SCAR before concidering any other rifle.

BTW, The XM8 is a much, much better weapon.

Hmmm, I wonder if I can get a M416 conversion kit for my AR-15?

 

[Hiromoon]

Mr Evil, are you related to one of the Mythbusters?

Sgt. Brassones, you can order one if you're SOCOM or part of a government agency...

 

[shmitty]

XM-8s are so sweet lookin....

Hopefully BFE will get some of the new 25mm weapon systems in at some point.

Remember they're pre-assembled and pre-painted. Isn't that against your religion or something?
