Hat H&K doch noch nicht gewonnen? (FirearmBlog)
ZITAT With several months of testing ahead, the decision isn't considered final, but it makes the H&K model the clear front-runner in the competition. Auch interessant, wenn auch nur Vermutungen eines Blogers: ZITAT The weird thing is that the HK416 IAR is roughly the same weight as the M16A4, if not lighter when the latter is fitted with the M5 ARS. I'm certain that someone in Congress will ultimately ask what the HK416 can do that their issue M16A4 retrofitted with full-auto trigger groups can't. Einige Vermutungen hier gingen ja in eine ähnliche Richtung, und es würde das Ausscheiden des Ultimax und des KAC lMG erkären. Der Beitrag wurde von Nite bearbeitet: 5.
