M416 Assault Rifle
Hello, guys. Today my blog adds some new contents. And I would introduce the assault rifle- M416. In fact, I like to explore the rifle no matter what type of it.
The Heckler & Koch HK416
more commonly known as the M416 is an improved variation of the Colt M4 and M16 assault rifles.
The 416 features a longer part lifespan, a more reliable gas-stroke piston system, and the ability to interchange many standard M4/M16 parts into the weapon such as magazines, optics, and stocks.
The 416 is in service with multiple countries as well as several factions.
Heckler & Koch unveiled the HK416 automatic rifle family in 2005 as a potential replacement for the M4 family series of carbines. The HK416 was a joint effort by the United States and Germany to produce a more reliable and modern alternative to the M4 Carbine. Development began in 2004 and Delta Force, the special ops group under the US Army banner, was the first to take deliveries of the weapon - doing away with their M4s.
Outwardly, the HK416 looks the part of the M16 assault rifle of its smaller cousin, the M4 Carbine. The HK416 is set to take on the MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny modular rail system so it can utilize the same enhancements and accessories as the M16 and M4. A foregrip can be installed ahead of the magazine feed. The stock is collapsible and extendable as needed. The HK416 can fire out of the water with no ill effects to performance.
One of the benefits of the HK416 lies in its new gas system developed from the one used in the Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifle. The HK416 makes use of a short-stroke piston driving a rod that moves the bolt to the rear. This contained action reduces heat build up along the bolt carrier group and keeps gasses from making their way into the internal workings of the gun. The end result is a reliable and long-firing weapon system worthy of military hands. The short-stroke, gas-piston system is contrary to the direct impingement system used in the base M16 rifle. The new system is said to increase the life of the internal workings of the weapon while at the same time cutting down on malfunctions during in-the-field firing.
In French service, the HK416 has replaced the FAMAS series for special forces. The Germans have added the HK416 to their special forces ranks as well as has Indonesia. The Netherland Army has replaced their C8 rifles with the HK416 system. Norway inked a deal for 8,200 HK416 rifles in 2007. Polish army and security groups are fielding the weapon as of this writing. The United States military and some select security and police groups have been evaluating the weapon. Turkey will take on license-production of the HK416 under the designation of "Mehmetcik-1". Many different countries use the the M416 during the gun fight. And it has the natural advantages.
The HK416 initially carried the Heckler & Koch name of HK M4. Obviously, this did not sit well with the people over at Colt Defense, who were producing the M4 Carbine. A trademark infringement suit was filed and Heckler & Koch later changed the name of their new gun to HK416.
