Are you saying the 416 is a better rifle than the M4?
Does anybody find it funny that the .civ MR556-A1 barrel profile is fatter than the HK IAR profile?
We already know that the M4A1 SOCOM profile can take the automatic fire. Other dudes on this board could speak more to that than me. (I for one like Kevin Boland's story about throwing 14 magazines through an M4 full auto after a PKM shit the bed in Iraq, or something to that effect.) So... why the IAR?
I would however, like to see the 416C adopted in small numbers.
Also, stop bitching about the magazine well. This is akin to bitching about why the G36 won't accept SIG 551 magazines. The gun was designed around NATO magazines, use NATO magazines, you didn't hear people bitching about the SCAR not being able to accept PMAGs.
Well.. you did, just not nearly as much.
We miss you, AC.
