Perhaps. I don't think the average shooter would see the benefits to the design. As a military rifle with full auto capability though, I think it would be superior to the M4 as it allows for the bolt assembly to stay much cooler resulting in less lube burnoff and thus greater reliability especially under adverse conditions.
As a side note, I don't see myself getting one any time soon. Not until HK offers a lighter barrel config.
