Why is the H&K416 so popular?
The H&K416 is designed to be similar to the M4 and M16 family of rifles to help soldiers transition from those platforms. A nearly identical layout helps facilitate weapon crossover. Thanks in part to the H&K416’s piston design, the rifle is prized for being highly reliable with a good reputation.
