H&K+416

One of the many things any nations military wishes is to have an edge over their opponents. The H&K 416 assault rifle really can make that wish come true. Its design comes from the standard U.S. military issue rifle the Colt M4 Carbine, a more compact version of the M16. The main problem with these rifles was jamming. Although soldiers are trained to unjam their weapons with ease and begin rapidly reengaging their targets again, a jam could be the difference between life and death. To fix this problem the U.S. military was on the look out for a new rifle with the same feel of their Classic AR builds. When news of the German made H&K 416 reached America they were given to Seals for field testing. They saw one of the main improvements over the M4 was the H&K416's "truly innovative short stroke gas piston system," (Wikipedia) which derives from the G36, another rifle created by Heckler and Koch. With this new short-stroke gas system it gives the weapon greater reliability over the M4, because there are hardly any jamming problems even after being submerged under water or after being buried under dirt and sand. A shortened barrel and retractable stock fits better in the users hands and allows you to clear buildings with greater maneuverability due to its reduced size. This weapon system is one of the great improvements made to our nations defense and its truly innovative design puts other rifles to shame.
