Those were out 45 years ago, and are made by several other companies. Is it just me or are there others of you that just don't get it. Some people hold this 416 in such high regard that you would think it was the second coming Jesus Christ. Of course I also think that an engineer at HK could crap out a turd and some would say, oh this turd is the best weapon of war ever! And future weapons would do a piece on it, and the host would say look, it even smells when you turn it upside down! Wow! the U.S. Army needs this smelly turd by HK.
Any new gun that hits the market is good for us. But "This will bring shock waves through the industry"?? I'm not saying that I will never buy one but what I will say is, long live Colt, LMT, POF, LWRC, and great American companys.
Ok, you can beat me up now.
