HK , the best gun #### there is. Thanks for the pics. The one thing I’m confused about is , why so many different rail types. I see MLOK on the M110A1, keymod on the 433 and a bunch of quad rail on the others. Can’t HK make up their mind.

It's not so much HK that can't make up their mind. More has to do with the different contracts they get and the preference of the purchaser.

To be honest I am not a fan of the HK433, it is a product for cost saving and of weird ergonomic brought along from old school G36 habit. HK416 is a better rifle all around.

Just like in Canada, the special forces always get the good stuff but the green army is all about the price and institutional habit.

Iirc this is eventually supposed to replace both no? The way it was described, this is basically the xm8 with details ironed and put in a very massada-esque body. And the xm8 in the few tests it was put in was pretty damn amazing.

They will equip it with whatever their customers want. The germans are stubbornly sticking to their propietary keymod design. The yanks want mlok. So do we for that matter. Some other customers will stick to pic/stanag rail.

The German Socom had awarded the bid for 2000 HK416A7 to HK. Delivery begins in 2019.
