Did I read the wrong article?Though i like H&K, and they make some of the best pistols, this almost seemed as an indirect push to go to a 416 DoD wide.
The article I read didn't even mention the 416, let alone push for it to be adopted DOD wide. There was a single, incorrectly worded sentence that mentioned the HK G36 along side a statement condemning 5.56 leading you to think, incorrectly, the G36 isn't a 5.56 rifle.
The article I read did mention both SCAR platforms. So, unless I'm completely stupid, which is certainly plausible and my spouse just might agree some days, I don't think this is a push for HK anything to be adopted DOD wide.
ETA: This is just a re-hash of several articles of a theme that have been written since 2000 or so.....You either agree or disagree based on your intended use and/or experience. There is nothing new here and this particular article isn't even very well written.
There are some valid points worth considering, again, in the context of your intended use. I don't find a lot to argue with the statement of effective range being a bit of a reported problem in Afghanistan.
