The Heckler & Koch HK416 is a carbine assault rifle designed by Heckler & Koch.
History[]
The HK416 was made sometime in the early 1990's by HK after it collaborated with the U.S. Army's Delta Force. After several years of experimentation and development, the HK416 was born in 2004. The HK416 has been in use by Law Enforcement, the Marine Corps, several foreign Armed Forces, and many other agencies around the world ever since. The HK416 is heavily inspired by the M4A1, another carbine assault rifle.
