I am guessing he has it up there because he is crossing a river. That and he appears to not have a hand mic so its easier just to tilt his head and talk into it.

I too am very curious to read what the Marines think about it. I was still in when they first were testing them out in 29 Palms, I'm almost a little surprised that they made it to the field so fast! I'm sure the grunts are happy to be rolling a little lighter.
Lol, way out of my lane on that guess
I find it hard to believe the Krauts didn't take into account PMags considering there are hundred of thousands, if not millions in the system. It smacks of HK arrogance....but that might just be my annoyance with their magazines talking....
The SF 60rd mag seems perfect for the IAR concept. Maybe a little bit of tweaking on their part will get it running, but that's just a wish upon a star right now.
The point of the IAR was because the military learned the first person to get shot at is the guy with the LMG. (Just like the reason the new sbiper rifle looks like an M16) The IAR in my mind is nothing more then a modified M16a1 capable of firing from open or closed bolt, with a rail kit to make it look sexy.
Theres nothing ground breaking about it. It just makes the automatic rifleman an ammo mooch.
I'm voting for Trump in 2012! But, when he takes over as president he has to tell Obama, "You're fired!"
I agree with you that it was not a good idea to design an AR-type weapon that cannot use regular PMAGs.I find it hard to believe the Krauts didn't take into account PMags considering there are hundred of thousands, if not millions in the system. It smacks of HK arrogance....but that might just be my annoyance with their magazines talking....
But H&K designed their own plastic 5.56 magazine (very similar to the 417 mags), so that might be the reason they didnīt make the weapon work with PMAGs... They want you to buy their proprietary product of course![]()
Not to mention the 416 predates pmags and nobody who orders these rifles has asked them to modify it to fit non-GI sized mags.
If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.
