HK416 vs M4

  • Can you tell me the difference between this gun and this gun even though both have pretty much identical layouts there is a huge fundamental difference between their firing systems. The M4 carbine is an AR-15 pattern rifle whereas the HK416 is based on the AR-15 with a huge fundamental change for better performance. The M4 works on a direct gas impingement system, in the DI system gas from the traveling bullet is tapped off into a gas tube that runs along the barrel into the receiver it then impinges upon the Boldt Carrier Group pushing it back and cycling the gun, on the other hand, the HK416 works on a short-stroke gas piston system derived from the German G36 rifle in this system gas from the traveling bullet is tapped off into a chamber in the front of the gun where it impinges upon a piston which pushes a rod that causes a short stroke at the bolt carrier group pushing it back and cycling the gun. The 416 was developed as an improvement over the M4. Its short Stroke system makes it Ultra reliable and also less prone to carbon buildup in the chamber as seen in direct impingement guns.

    • @ishaandas3006
      @ishaandas3006 7 місяців тому +7

      Not really gas piston guns are never as soft as DI ones. The HK is heavier and that helps but the recoil is snappier than M4s. Plus the HK416 is overgassed. Back in 2000s and early 2010s the reliability factor might have been a valid point but years of refinement have made the reliability more of less the same. The block 2 m4's and the URGI are extremely reliable and accurate.
      One thing which the HK416 does do better is run cleaner and cooler suppressed

    The difference between an
    H&K-416 and an M4?
    The most part that i think about is that the stock of the 416 is slightly more curved than the M4, which is the handle of the 416 having more like a big curved zig zag. (if you dont understand, the 416 handle looks like a Deagle's handle) Also, the handguard of the 416 is attached to its body. (bad at describing i might say but, you get my point ) And forgot to mention that the iron sights of the 416 is WAY different than the M4. Done explaining this question. So, what do you guys think of the difference between these 2?

    Idk about the "better performance" part, I'm sure that was the intention but people have really cooled on piston guns, competitive shooters and alot of military/LEO have also moved back away from the gas piston. it was all the rage 10 years ago, but then people realized they are heavy, and they add a HUGE point of failure especially in adverse conditions(mainly cold). Most dudes are back on DI guns now, they just work, have for 70 years.

  • @LodakXaly
    @LodakXaly 5 місяців тому +4

    1. The HK 416 is developed by Heckler & Koch who no longer have to prove their expertise in assault rifles or automatic rifles, the HK G36 and the HK MP5 are proof of this, where the M4 and M16 were manufactured and developed by Colt, but who has a majority experience in handguns and medium-range rifles
    2. The HK 416 has an automatic rechambering system by piston and gas, and not only by gas like the M4 or M16, which reinforces its reliability.
    3. The HK 416 has a barrel designed for modern combat with Picatinny rails on all four sides of its barrels, with an M-LOK on the upper rail of the HK 416 A5, in addition, this barrel is made and designed for passive cooling, with a ventilated barrel and heat-transfer materials, the muzzle of the barrel is threaded to be able to add an accessory, suppressor, compensator or even flash hider.
    4. The HK 416 has an integrated bumpstock and is today massively used by these units and army corps: All French army corps 🇫🇷, the GIGN 🇫🇷, the RAID 🇫🇷, the LAPD SWAT🇺🇸, the Delta Force 🇺🇸, the Norwegian armed forces 🇳🇴 and many others where the M4 and the M16 are losing popularity
    This is an assault rifle that I particularly like, it is designed for efficiency and its mechanism is very good without being super complex.

    the m4 system is already plenty reliable. the hk416 is more reliable in SOME circumstances than the m4/m16 but there’s also scenarios where it’s a worse choice. the AR15 system is already exceptionally reliable as proven by it being used by dozens of countries en masse and it being the standard issue rifle of the US and canada for literally 50 years

    Gas impingement rifles are lighter, more accurate, have less moving parts and will keep firing even when covered in mud.
    Piston rifles are only better when they are suppressed, with barrels less than 10 inches...

    It's much more expensive and it's effective range is only 300m, compared to 500~600m for M4.
    "Better" is subjective because M4 is great for both CQB and long range engagements.

      What's your reasoning behind your claim that the M4 is better at long distances?

    So the HK416 is based of a AR15?😂😂 what a lose of crap. You mean the semi Automatic Version of an M4? Why do Indiana always have to think they know it all?

      There’s no gun in real life named “M416”. It’s HK-416 which we use as an M416.
      And the M4 carbine is modified into M16 which later got upgraded to M16A4.
