Searched the thread and forums haven't found mention of the HK416, Will the special forces be outfitted with this weapon sense allot of special forces in Afghanistan and Iraq have been using it sense 2004?
HKPRO: The HK416

[Charlie!]

As far as i know i believe the HK416 is the replacement for the AG-3 in the NOrweigan Army.... Dont know of the MEc using it... It may be but maybe not used in such a big scale..

It'll probably have been suggested at some point.

However requesting specific armour pieces/jets/hand held weapons is something that usually isn't very constructive, unless your trying to make the community aware of a new weapon/tank/heli/etc that's going to be widely issued, or a new type of asset that would help improve or give depth to gameplay i.e mortars, arty systems, landing craft etc (the vast majority of the like will have been suggested before).

As dull as it to say, pretty much everything of this nature has already been mentioned at some point.

Looks like someone just wants to use their favorite weapon.

My friend if you don't get eaten by this community for that request I'll track your IP and shake your hand.
US Army gets the M4 for standard and M4A1 for SOF
USMC gets M16A4 for standard and M4A1 for SOF
MEC has HK53 and G3
And the 416s "SUPER" reliability comes from it's piston instead of a direct gas system, and there has been aftermarket pistons since I guess since Nam so it's nothing new. Just HK had FW display it and now everyone is 416 crazy

Like I said this gun has been in use by special forces sense 2004, I am not just suggesting a weapon to be put in because I like it. Before you come in and criticize me maybe you should check your info.

-Norway - On April 11, 2007, the Norwegian Ministry of Defence signed a contract for an initial shipment of 8,200 rifles to serve as its new standard assault rifle, replacing the AG-3 that has been in use since 1967.

-Turkey - Turkish Army has tested 9,000 units of the HK416 manufactured domestically as the Mehmetçik 1 by MKE, and decided to adopt it as a replacement for the currently issued G3 rifle. The Mehmetçik-1 will differ from the original HK416 in some details, like the use of a different metal alloy in its construction. This will probably to allow MKE to manufacture the rifle by the cheaper and simpler procedure of Metal Injection Molding rather than forging.

Seeing as how it is only used by special forces and even then not used by majority of them, I have to doubt the use of it ingame. At least for the US forces.

[Maxfragg]

the netherlands community faction will use both a HK416 for SpecOps and a HK417 for DMR

[gclark03]

Why don't we give this to the MEC on certain maps?

[Bob_Marley]

That it does, locked for resuggestion.
