H&K is making the 416. Put it in sand or water, shake it off, and fire it.
Marksmen use the M-14.
Bumping this as Second Amendment-related threads are some of the ones I like most.
The m14 days are just about over. As I posted previously. The FN SCAR heavy is taking it’s place. The bolt action rifles are going away too. Snipers will be using an accurized version of the SCAR heavy. As for the 415, yep, that’s the one I was referring to when I said an m16 with AK gas system. It’s good. The US military isn’t buying it though. They’re going to go with the FN SCAR light instead.
From what I’m told, the SCAR rifle is a little bit M1 carbine, and a little bit stoner, with M16-ish furnature and FN details. They aren’t yet available to the general public, but this fall they should be. THey will be very expensive though. I’m getting guestimates from 2800 to 4 grand for the SCAR light. The SCAR heavy will probably be more.
I would expect to see all the various AR manufacturers producing a version of the 416 very soon, if they aren’t already.
