Today we will discuss [A brief discussion on H&K 416 Assault Rifle]. Friends who have never read the exciting articles in the early stage, I hope to like + follow them, and I won’t get lost in the exciting program! I hope that military fans will pay attention to it in time, and exciting content should not be missed! Okay, let's get to the topic:
German military industry has always been ahead of the world's military industry with high quality, high precision and high-level weapons. As the leader of German military industry, the major manufacturer Heckler&Koch has been constantly innovating and producing a world-famous assault rifle . Today, let's talk about this German sharp gun - HK416.
Game Sharp Gun?
In China, when it comes to HK416, it is estimated that many people’s first reaction is the phenomenon-level game PUBG, and many people also began to know 416 from there (the game is called M416 because it has no copyright). In PUBG, 416 has won the love of many players due to its excellent performance and super high accessory expansion. Because it once had the unique tactical stock in AR (now M16A4 can also be installed), it was the best operation in AR when it was fully equipped. It was abusive to its competitor SCAR (SCAR is miserable, and its actual performance is not as good as the 416 game and was beaten). Even with the addition of M762 and other guns, it did not shake the status of 416 at all.
Become famous in one battle
In reality, H&K 416 is also famous all over the world just like in PUBG. (In fact, the reason why HK416 is so famous is because it was once used to eliminate a terrorist)
For the original purpose of the development of
H&K416, it was not to create a new product like the G3 and G36 before H&K, but to improve the M4/M16 gun family. The H&K416 was originally called HKM4 and the project began in 2002. The company's initial plan was to sell HKM4 in its entirety, or to provide other AR series weapons to HKM4 standard.
Later, because Colt Company intends to sue some manufacturers that imitate M4 (who is the M4 tree that attracts wind), including H&K, in order to avoid the limelight, H&K company renamed HKM4 H&K416, of which 4 probably refers to M4, and 16 is M16.
416 uses an air guide device from AR-18. Since H&K G36, H&K weapons have mostly adopted this structure and abandoned the G3 roller locking.
H&K engineers are of course familiar with this structure. Compared with the direct air conduction of M16, the H&K416's air conduction method is more reliable. It is undoubtedly a good thing for field troops to avoid cleaning the air conduction pipe frequently (and direct air conduction may also blow gunpowder gas into the magazine and stick it on the shell and be taken away directly).
H&K416 military models have five types of barrels, namely 9-inch (416C), 10-inch, 14.5-inch and 20-inch. There is also a civilian version of the 16.5-inch barrel. All of these types of barrels are made of cold forged steel. The total life of the barrel is 20,000 rounds. It can shoot about 3,000 yuan in one maintenance, which means 100 magazines. It is worthy of the reputation of German military industry as reliable.
Speaking of reliability, we have to mention the test of 416 in the United States. According to the test report, in various extreme environments, various barrels, various ammunitions, and whether to use silencers, the reliability of the 416 is better than that of the M4/M16 series (the American gun was slapped in the face). H&K416 can shoot normally after soaking in water, or even underwater, but if the M4/M16 is injected into water, it will explode (siege of American traditional art and friendly forces). It can be said that the reliability of 416 is better than that of the predecessor M4/M16. The original version of
H&K416 comes with a handguard with four-way MIL-SID-1913 guide rails (commonly known as leather rails), and the compatibility of accessories is much better than that of the M4 series (but the M4 series now has four-way leather rails, and of course the 416 is more than its own G36 series). The 416 uses suspended guardrail, which does not come into contact with the barrel, greatly improving the shooting accuracy.
H&K416 comes with an adjustable stock, with a total of 6 optional lengths. (The M16 that fixes the stock silently leaves tears) The shoulder pads of the stock also have two options: concave and convex. There is also storage space in the butt stock, which can be used to place small parts, spare batteries or gadgets.The trigger pulling force of the 416 is 34 nm, and the trigger with a larger or smaller pulling force can be replaced. The difference between
and M4
HK416 looks very similar to M4. But it has a redesigned retractable butt stock, and a more ergonomic pistol grip designed by HK. In addition, the guardrail was replaced. The most significant internal difference is the short stroke gas piston system, which is derived from H&KG36. To withstand the pressure increased due to the new gas system, its barrel is thicker (thick barrels also facilitate heat dissipation and increase accuracy)
In addition, the adjustable air module with pistons can operate reliably on the short barrel version. Finally, HK416 includes a folding pre-response letter and a rear-shot gate similar to the G3. The HK416 system is provided as an upper receiver, separate from the rest of the rifle, as a replacement for the standard version of the M4 upper receiver. It can be connected to existing AR-15 family rifles to provide a new air guide system, new handguards and sights while retaining the original lower receiver. The Heckler & Koch 416 can also be sold as a whole gun.
