Soldiers In Texas Are Putting The Army's Newest Marksman Rifle Through Its Paces

Don't try it. The response will be that the potential damage to your hearing is reason to ban shooting.

wow... good catch!

HK has their own Proprietary Attachment system similar to Keymod, they call it HKey.

Of course they do....cause it's HK, if only this industry could get it's squash together and standardize on something.

Ridiculous price, D/I or not any Military would be better to buy their own than something this overpriced and engineered by a country that can't even man their own military. I'd rather give my money to charity

The military would be better off buying something engineered in a country that knows a thing or two about engineering. No US gunmaker can play in the same league as HK as far engineering is concerned...not by a long shot. There are only two serious small arms makers (not counting handguns) left in the west, and both of them are European: FN and HK. It's no coincidence that even old school DI M4's and M16's are made by FN these days.

Oh so you guys think direct impingement AR's are not piston AR's? That's cute.

Stoner called it the Internal Piston System if I remember correctly, I would have to check a book I have on the shelf somewhere (Black Rifle by Blake R. Stevens, its really good) but I think thats what he called it.

Same way a ruger 10/22 is a piston gun...the empty case acts as a piston to push the bolt back. Obviously we dont refer to 10/22s as piston guns, and the colloquial use of terms is the defacto correct term...semantics aside its pretty obvious what 99.9% of people mean when they say DI operated or piston operated regarding ARs...
