HK416 History

Manufactured by the German arms maker Heckler and Koch, the HK416 is an assault rifle/carbine based on the AR-15 platform. Originally designed to improve the Colt M4 carbine, which was issued to the United States military, the HK416 has a short-stroke gas piston system, as opposed to the direct impingement gas system as in the AR-15. Weighing in at about seven pounds, the HK416 has an adjustable multi-position telescopic butt stock, so you can modify it to six different pull lengths.

A number of militaries utilize the HK416. After a number of tests revealed that malfunctions greatly decrease because of the piston operating system, the US Army's Delta Force, the First Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, replaced their M4s with the HK416 in 2004. In addition, the Norwegian Armed Forces now utilizes the HK416 as its standard rifle, as well as Special Forces in Croatia, France, and Germany.
