He was the senior NCO at the Unit at the time when they made the request, so he was instrumental in its development. When I commanded the US Army Sniper School and we were developing the M107 after the M82a1, I sent two NCOs to Barrett TDY for a year to help with the development. There are some great NCOs out there that are responsible for all of the amazing firearms we use today and Larry is definitely at the top of the list.

Jason, I was wondering if an H5 or H6 (7.5 oz - 8.6 oz) buffer would slow it down to 600 RPMs or so? Adding all tungsten to a custom carbine length 3.25" buffer case gives me an H5 and H6. That and a flatwire carbine buffer spring might slow this down a bit. My fav ROF is in the 600 RPM range. 850 is a little much (even if it was designed for that speed) and 1200 with a can is kinda outrageous (super spicy fun though!).
You have a valid point and the truth is I just don’t know. With every other AR-15 and M-16 I play with buffers quite a bit to get things dialed in. Everything about the 416 is unique and proprietary. I have two of them and both of them are completely stock with the exception of adding the Geissele 416 Select fire triggers. I feel like the minute you start to swap out the HK parts for aftermarket things go sideways. I have a kit with every weight buffer in it and next time I go to the range I will try and it seems what happens.
Sounds good, and looking forward to hearing how the buffer weights change the ROF on the HK. On the MCX, there is no buffer weight to work with, so the only ROF control is the amount of gas allowed. The Rattler 300aac in the '+' position suppressed with supersonics gets up in the 1000 rpm range. The Virtus 556 in the + position suppressed does as well. I haven't really tried either in the '-' position, but next range visit, we'll test it out. @@LegacyArmsIntl
There is no difference… the early model HK416’s were marked HK416D for “Defense” and were usually military contract firearms and the HK416s were for LE. Both models were considered the A1 and A2 variants and beginning with the A3 were marked Hk416a3 and we are currently at the A5 configuration. Both HK416Ds that we have are A1 variants with one stock and one reconfigured to match the A5 configuration.
@@weasle2904 maybe not. But it has a really fast twist rate that favors heavier bullets. Ppl that shoot it talk about how accurate it is. Most say its bigger and heavier. Not many say its gunna replace the m4. But it shoots similar velocities, diameters, and bullet weights to a 6.5prc out of a shorter barrel. They will prob make a steel core bullet too.

No, at least the one I have can’t be. They have done a few iterations of selector over the years. The ones I have are a Gen 1 and Gen 2 upper and lower receiver that has mostly a5 parts on it. The new a5 model may be different but I haven’t gotten my hands on one yet. The ones I have will only allow the selector to be moved to safe when the hammer is cocked.
After some calculations, the rifle magdumps a standard capacity magazine (30 rounds) in about 1.5 seconds with the suppressor on. 30÷1.5=20, then to convert it to RPM: 20x60=1200!! I also tried a metromone in 1200 bpm and it (the HK416) kind of follows the same rythm as the metronome. So maybe 1100-1200 is accurate. Amazing.
His voice is so calm I had to watch the first half couple more times just to hear him talk. It's so soothing.
Wow, the suppressor almost doubled the fire rate. Really got the gas pressure up (assuming both dumped mags used the same ammo).
YEah, the suppressor definitely forces more gas into the system and the bolt cycles a lot faster.

That’s why the HK416A5 is so cool!

Howdy mate!
Thanks for bringing more great content. Both PPS43 and now the HK416D
Amazing as always.
Thank you my friend! I always appreciate your kind words and support!
Flippin hell m8!!! Didnt know a suppressor could do that!!
mate,, that was as spicy as a vindaloo curry
Ha Ha! Yes indeed!
Don't drink, smoke or do drugs...This is my vice 😂
Great video Jason.
Smile at the. Nailed it sir
Thank you very much!
Amazing channel, from a gun enthusiast from Brazil.
HK416 is my favorite one!
It's definitely one of my favorite rifles. I carried it for a while in the Army and it was as good as they said it would be.
It would be legendary for European?
My dream set up
Spicy indeed.
Good
THIS MANN IS SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!! 😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Definitely
sexy GT556 suppressor!!!! :)
Perfect!!!!
Mmmm Spicy indeed, yum yum!
Spicy
Hey Jason!
Yeah spicy!
You guys do know that Hk unofficially supports OSS/Huxwrx suppressors right. That GSL can has way to much back pressure.
Kool...
The 416 is a m4 variant
Doesn’t help that that is NOT the right can for this rifle. A B&T RBS or Helios QD with the flow through end cap would probably be better.

So I am seeing police trade in uppers for sale in the “D” variant and some do not have have that stamp-what is the difference? Barrel contour?

That should have been the new rifle for the US army. Probably in a 6.8 spc or similar to. Not that enormous SIG MCX thing that looks more like DMR 🤔
Probably what will happen. Well keep the m4.
The spear will be the dmr increasing squad range. M240 same cal. And sig lmg for squad.
@@allthingsconsidered3211 The Spear wasn't intended as a DMR though.

WHAT KIND OF RED DOT DO YOU USE?
This is one of the original Aimpoint M68 CCO, same as what I used in the military.
Thank you for your answer and what advice would you give me for target shooting?
@@jesusmariomartinez
1. Maintain a proper stance
2. Pull the trigger consistently
Test yourself at the range by "dry firing" at a target
If you sway or stumble: keep practicing until your aim is steady
If you flinch without actually shooting: dry fire until your anticipation of recoil is alleviated
Which one is more reliable and enjoyable between M4 carbine and HK416?
Having carried both, the HK416 is definitely more reliable. Both are enjoyable to shoot though.
❤️🔥
could you comment all the uprgrades (and specs) you put on please

@@LegacyArmsIntl oh sweet, would you take this over an AR 15?
Have a quick question here, can the 416D be on safe when the hammer is uncocked?
I know the MR556 will, not sure if this applies to the 416
No, at least the one I have can’t be. They have done a few iterations of selector over the years. The ones I have are a Gen 1 and Gen 2 upper and lower receiver that has mostly a5 parts on it. The new a5 model may be different but I haven’t gotten my hands on one yet. The ones I have will only allow the selector to be moved to safe when the hammer is cocked.

Algorithm.
Can anyone calculate the RPM of the rifle with the suppressor on?
After some calculations, the rifle magdumps a standard capacity magazine (30 rounds) in about 1.5 seconds with the suppressor on.
30÷1.5=20, then to convert it to RPM: 20x60=1200!!
I also tried a metromone in 1200 bpm and it (the HK416) kind of follows the same rythm as the metronome. So maybe 1100-1200 is accurate. Amazing.
A little too much recoil.
