Future Weapons Season 2 Episode 6(First Strike): The HK 416

how far can you aim with an M4 or an m16 without having to aim above the target because of the range?

AKs are very good for their cheap price, but if price doesn't matter I'd always go for the 416.

looks like this weapon could beat the modern AKs because of its accuarcy which AKs lack.
and dont tell us the 223. or the 5.56 NATO cant kill.
why not ask a friend of yours to test it on yourself?

Oh, and I ran out of space to mention that it needs the charging handle placed in a different position! I prefer the side, myself, mainly 'cause you can keep your cheek in the desired position AND it can also serve as the brass deflector and dust cover - all with one modification!

All the other controls can stay where they are, mayhaps with the exception of the hammer release. But, whatever. Such is the beauty of the AR platform. Very maleable indeed!

I'd really rather have AK-74 or 103 in 5.45MM over any .223. Hell, even a 20" gas-piston .223 would be better than the M16, and would be WORLDS better than the diminutive M4.

6.8MM SPC or 6.5MM MPC (from SSK) would be better than .223 as well. The 6.5MM Grendel will only stay supersonic beyond 1,000 yards with the 123-grain Lapua Scenar of the same caliber, and you'd need a longer-than-typical barrel to get the necessary velocity to do so. Still, it's far better at longer ranges than the .223.

i agree with downwithemery

Rather SLY of HK to make it look the same as an m4 for increased acceptance. lol

The 416 good weapon BUT it still has that stupid pull back bolt like the m16 which will interfer with a cheek pad for good optics.

The other thing is, it is chambered in 223 the military needs more knock down power, to shoot through cars & brush without complete failures like with the 223.

My vote: an ACR in 6.8 or 6.5 - 6.5 will literaly stay supersonic past 1000 yards yet has low recoil & superb accuracy.

the 416 is better than the SCAR im not sure why the US army are using it instead.

if youre lying it on the side the bullet goes down we get teached in the NG of NORWAY
but upside down it may go a few centimetres upwards

your doing that with the weapon on the side but NOT upside down.
