    Good luck with that.

    Yeah, that's why there's that conditional in there. I don't own a single bullpup after a near miss during purchasing. Very nearly pulled the trigger on buying an FS2000... until I pulled the trigger on it.

    Imagine the poor bastards that are issued them and have to take them into harms way.

    I run a Trigger Tamer on my Steyr AUG: http://www.triggertamer.com/
    It makes a huge difference in the trigger. I've run the AUG through several classes.

    The FS2000 trigger is another matter. Its managable, but feels bad if you are used to a standard AR trigger. I've only run the gun though one class.

    Is it fair to compare the HK and the Sig? Not all DI AR's are created equal so why would pistons be different? Sig's 516 may be crap, but comparing it to the 416 is like saying ferrari's are crap because they use gasoline just like a geo metro.

    I'd love to know what they said, if somebody can provide a link to this.
    We miss you, AC.

    Here are some of them:

    8) I have seen alot of ammo shot out of a 416 (probably more than anyone in the USA) - and in my experience it is MORE accurate than a DI AR - I have seen a 10 inch 416 shoot minute of angle from a machine rest at the factory after being fired 12,000 rds during a lot acceptance test - I, like others who witnessed it, would never have believed it is I had not seen it myself

    9) The spec ops users of the 416 I train and know love the gun except for the weight (it has a fairly heavy barrel under that rail system) - HK is offering a lighter profile barrel as an option now

    Hope this clears some things up

    Cheers

    I don't think anyone is saying that a direct impingment AR made by a quality company is not more than adequate for the average user.

    Slightly greater than average?

    I'd skip the Colt and go straight for the M134.

    Yeah I thought the same thing. That is the price of a complete gun.
