Heckler & Koch 416
According to The Army Times, the Army has withdrawn its decision to let special units, particularly the Asymmetric Warfare Group, continue to use the HK416 in place of the M4. Special Units soldiers, weapons experts, and weapons manufacturers have all argued in favor of the HK416 because of its superior performance in laboratory and field tests and also for its low maintenance needs and longevity. If it is indeed a superior weapon to the M16 family, why then, are our soldiers still being equipped with M4s and M16s?
