Looks just like an AR15, fancy that. But since it's a German maker we get to pay more for them right?

It's still polishing the turd of a varmint round for combat.
I just do not comprehend why our military is stuck on that particular stupid of 5.56 instead of something with a little more power. Even if they didn't go to a .30 caliber, there are plenty of other, more effective, options. |

Didn't the Swedes or someone have trouble with this thing in cold weather? It's just the HK416.

It was the Norwegians. However, it was because the first ones delivered had a switch to adjust between suppressed and non-suppressed use. The switch was meant for SF use only, and used incorrectly by regular troops that did not have the proper training. Hasn’t been an issue since, and AFAIK they now work well in all conditions.

You can take a 416...load it up switch to FA fire... and dump 2 or 3 mags through it. Break it down...pull out the BCA and place the bolt face against your nose. It will be just as clean as when you started and not even warm.
@$3000...that seems pretty fucking pricey for a re-popped M-16.
