::Apparently the weapon was adopted by the Marine Corps as a replacement for the M249 SAW. The main differences are a heavier barrel to handle prolonged automatic firing and a bayonet lug.

"See Also
* M4A1 Firearm from which the HK416 was derived. "
As far as i know the 416/417 rifles are based on the M16/AR15 series ONLY in looks and are using similar interiors like the G36
- Utter bullshit you are spewing there as even H&K admits publically that the M416 is simply an improved M4A1 carbine. The gas piston system may possibly be adapted from that of a G36 to work on an M4 but that is all. Rockwolf66 19:50, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
- The HK 416 WAS meant to be a improved M4A1 from the get go!
They brought on board Larry Vickers a former Delta Force operative to help design the HK416. And it was always intended to be an improved M4A1. --cool-breeze 16:28, 5 July 2011 (CDT)
HK 416c
someone who has an idea of the engine of imfdb.org has to add the new HK 416c http://www.heckler-koch.com/HKWebText/detailProd/1928/475/4/19 at least the pictures would be great to upload!!
It should probably be in a movie first...but yeah cool design.--Spades of Columbia 15:56, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
M27 IAR
Are there any differences between the normal HK416 and the M27 IAR, or that's just the U.S. Army name of the gun, like the M1014 is the M4 Super 90's ?? - bozitojugg3rn4ut 03:26, 20 August 2011 (CDT)
- I think it's a HK416 with a longer barrel and handguard. Some guys in the U.S. Military (I think the Marines) got the okay from the high-ups or whoever to get these under the guise of new "SAWs" (Squad Automatic Weapons) but the Marines actually use them as assault rifles, lol. I think that's how the story goes, I just remembered it off the top of my head, shows you how much the U.S. Military wants HK416s.

- Here is the Wikipedia article on the M27 IAR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M27_Infantry_Automatic_Rifle
- Apparently the weapon was adopted by the Marine Corps as a replacement for the M249 SAW. The main differences are a heavier barrel to handle prolonged automatic firing and a bayonet lug.
