Me: Hey, I’d like that Ruger 556 please.
Love the Mini 14. The newest models are much more accurate.
Unfortunately they are more expensive than entry level AR-15s.
But I still bought a new stainless Mini-14 Ranch Rifle
Put on a Boyd's laminated wood stock.
Then you have an 'assault rifle' disguised as a regular hunting rifle.
I remember when children I knew had to shoot my Stainless Steel Mini-14 with the factory stock.
I didn't know about the 'A-Team'
That's why their eyes lit up when they saw my Ruger 😎
I have the sr556 which is just a heavier version of the 416 and honestly between the 2 the weight is the only difference but the 416 is almost 4k and the sr556 is almost 2k
@Ministry of Mystics "Affordable" to the AVERAGE gun owner in my state is is between 500-1100

Might be more expensive
But less likely to get picked up by the atf

SpacemanApeINC because HK: "Lol just stop being poor"
Minus him buying his own 416 upper I think the three in the intro are owned by T.Rex that he was shooting with. At least they look like ones I've seen him shoot in his videos. Garand gets a lot of his guns from sponsors for reviews, I would be interested to know what he actually owns. Especially since his channel has finally gotten traction.
I look at all the expensive guns I want as my motivation to become rich.
Why can't you just stop being a poor
-heckler & Koch
“The 416 front is too heavy.” Mounts 5 pounds of gear directly on the front.
Dont you dare talk about daddy thumb in that way
Truth
Was thinking the same exact thing lmao
Does the heavy front help with the recoil? I know the gas piston already makes the gun have less recoil but I don't know how much of a factor front-heavy weight distribution is.
@@HaIsKuL Do you meant that all the extra stuff up front helps control recoil? Sure. But the HK416 itself (much more so than the G36) feels like it has a *lot* of reciprocating mass up front in the gas system. I feels more front heavy than the G36 so I guess the odd recoil impulse is not only a question of being over gassed.
H&k: how reliable do you want the Rifle?
SpecOps : yes
H & K : UNDERSTANDABLE .
Absolutely.
Price is no option. It's not our money anyways.

@@OG-Jakey thats why i said "one of the companies" my dude:) the others are cool too but H&K just has a special place in my heart. also, we cant really make good and entertaining longform media. like multi part movies or captivating tv show and the like. 90% of german media is some form of copied american concept the other 10 are old people tv. a lot of is straight up american stuff with dub. not complaining, its good stuff but kinda sad that we dont make anything original that is worthwhile other than maybe one or two movies/shows in a decade

@@OG-Jakey Fanta? Lol wtf
Personal experience with the USMC variant is that it'll even shoot green-tip near 1 MOA. Definitely more front heavy as he says, but quite accurate even with non-match ammo.
Well GT also has ton of larp gear infront of his gun.
Green tip is 3 moa ammo. No matter how good the gun is..
@@rooster-zg4oo if you suck at shooting sure. Ive shot a lot of green tip and compared to 55 gr, its damn accurate. Of course 77 gr will always win tho
@Ryan it has nothing to do with the shooter. If everything about the shooter and gun was 100 percent perfect the ammo is 3 moa ammo from the factory. Issued green tip ammo is anyways in the army. They told us it was 3 moa ammo. So if you shot perfect 3 moa was good.
@@rooster-zg4oo As someone that has probably shot 100,000+ rounds of green tip in my life (and that may be a very low estimate actually), I completely get where you're going with that statement. It's junk for accuracy in general.
But anyone with a lot of experience with different guns and ammo also knows that some combos mate up really well for completely unknown reasons. I have barrels that, for some reason, shoot crappy Wolf at 1.3 MOA but cannot shoot actual match ammo better than 2 MOA.
And I'm telling you that M27 barrels and green tip is one of those combos. For some reason green tip shoots exceptionally well out of it.
And my claim is not that grandiose. "near 1 MOA" (i.e. still over 1 MOA) is really not that amazing. Nobody is gonna win a shooting match with "near 1 MOA". Most precision rifles are considered end of barrel-life if they start approaching being as bad as 1 MOA.
But when you're used to shooting 4-5 MOA M4's/M16's it does become quite the luxury quite quickly.

Had the pleasure of using the 14.5" version of the HK during my time in the Norwegian army. The reliability is extreme, no matter the conditions it just performs. During winter field exercises with temperatures below -30 degrees celsius it emptied mags day in and out without issues, even though we used blanks and performed minimal maintenance.
same here
To be fair, Norway swapped our old AG3 rifles for this one, so weight and recoil both went way down. Soldiers got sick from mysterious gasses because they burnt through "environment friendly" ammo so fast, because it was so fun to shoot.

Sorry for screaming at you today , downtown. Saw the plaid , recognized your face , and my enthusiasm took over and I yelled "Garand Thumb". Cool to see you, keep up the great work .
Are you being legit?
I saw Garand Thumb at a gun shop in WA yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen HK steel mags in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the mags and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each mag and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I couldn't be more jealous of that build. Damn man. Amazing.
My Brother, Marine, used the IAR (Infantry Automatic Rifle) version of the HK 416, and he loved this model over the M249 for support weapon. Lighter, and just have to carry much more mags to compensate for belt capacity.
Well, yeah. It’s supposed to be lighter than an M249 SAW. It’s also supposed to be more desirable to fire in the field when compared to the mammoth sized M249. Two very different guns that service two very different areas in combat.
@@blackshirt4ever02 Someone did design this, but I would have loved if the IAR accepted both Magazines and belts so the operate can still carry one or two belts for suppression, and magazines for short suppression / assault movements (I am not a professional soldier, that just sounds like a typical tactic squads use for combat).

What I don’t Love is the Dent it left in My wallet as well, But I do Love the Fact that if I do decide to sell it I can get at least double than what I paid for it.. And another reason the 416 was developed was because SOCOM also wanted a M4 that was OTB ready ( Over the Beach ) and wouldn’t explode when water was trapped in the DI system … And Yes Normal Pmags don’t work, but Emags do along with Lancer, Troy, MFT, and of course STANAG..

Thing is this gun is a "GO TO WAR" RIFLE, Not a competion shooting rifle, it heavy, it kicks but it dead nuts reliable in adverse conditions. If the world goes to shit, man this is the gun I want!!!!
Yes, that is exactly why my (Norwegian) army adopted it. We previously had the G3 (or AG3 for our variant) which also famously was stupid reliable (You could run over it with a tank and it would still work I swear), and wanted to continue that tradition. So we adopted the 416 for use not only in our close to arctic conditions, but also in the sands down in the middle east, and it has worked wonderfully so far.
If only we got issued better optics and a front grip other than the oversized broom handle.

My dad bought me a very cheap 30-06 that cane with a 3x9 and the scope ring went away about half an inch away from the back lens. It used to bruise me all the time. Got a new scope and went from shooting 2 boxes in a sighting to 5.

My first time underestimating a guns recoil and getting hurt from was when i was 12 years old. I went target practicing with my grandpa in Ukraine and he's a hunter. His rifle of choice was the Soviet TOZ-34E. At 12 years old lets say it was very for me and i didnt press the stock into my shoulder hard enough 😂 learned my lesson after first shot. The next several shots were better but i had a bruise on my shoulder the size of a softball.

I was in the Norwegian Army when the 416 was introduced. My HK had (if I remember correctly) about 7-8 Failures to eject and feel during one of our range days. out of 7000+ rounds at the time. issue was I simply hadn't lubed her up well enough, it was humid and cold, but after pulling out the bold&carrier and drenching it in oil. checking the Gas setting (and swearing louder than any sailor you've ever meet) I got the rifle going again. honestly don't know if that's all because operator error or rifle being part of the first 300 to be used by a norwegian Soldier. but I'd bring that rifle anywhere and trust it fully.

"If you've ever underestimated the recoil of a firearm."
First firearm I ever shot was a 12 gauge shotgun when I was 7. I was kneeling on a shooting bench because I was too small to use it properly. Needless to say it did not go well 😂
G3 has a strong recoil, felt it 7 years back, while firing it for the first time, still whenever I remember that, the shoulder hurts 😂😂
the g3 is nothing compared to the g22
And still it was a great rifle. I liked it better, than the G36.
Yeah, we fired G3s back in the day. They kicked like mules. Felt surprisingly crude for an HK. They were reliable as hell, though.

As my old service rifle was an HK 416, i adore this thing. Everyone needs to take it into the woods for a weekend at least once.

A couple of years ago I was able to shoot one of these guns at a range in Las Vegas. It was awesome!! Talk about accurate? I have never shot something like this before and did very well. It was not me, it was the gun. Thanks for the video. Baskin Robbins pralines and cream!
Never got a scope ring but when I was 12 in boy scouts they gave an 8 gauge shotgun at the firing range when we were I summer camp. Completely underestimated the recoil, and I got physically thrown back but the recoil
I loved this gun while I was in the Norwegian military. A lot of us kinda hated the stock shoulder strap though, so our second officer gave us this idea of using some tough rubber band usually used to tie down camouflage nets when they're bundled up. Just cut it down to length, clip one hook as usual into the gun, and the other end of the loop into one of the bands on the combat vest. It gave great ergonomics for quickly shouldering the stock for firing positions, and as an added bonus you could feel cool by just shrugging the weapon onto or off your back, or onto the side of your backpack, if you were on a long-range patrol-type of outing. Kinda goofy and probably laughable to some, but it worked great for most setups.

I'm snipping a few screenshots from some old pics though unfortunately it's never "entirely" in frame, though all you're missing is the clip/hook I slung on the loop to clip/unclip the gun from my shoulder.

Sturdy rubber/Elastic chord, though I suspect parachord would work great too. Looped through a few loops on my tac-vest and tied closed.
That cover transition while your partner was reloading was perfect lol
I'm not sure the big difference between this and the IAR but I absolutely loved the IAR. Little heavier in front but loved that thing if I lived in a free state I would burn a hole in my pocket to buy a 416
I don't have an HK but I have an adams arms piston upper which from what I can tell is a very similar system. Love it so far but just built it not too long ago and want to get more rounds through it.
The Norwegian army uses the HK-416 as their service rifle, but as far as I know, the special forces still chose the MK-18 or the CC C8 CQB over the HK-416.
Edit: Only exception to this is the Coastal Ranger Commando whom aren't classified as a special operations units, but they still act/operate as one, and unlike FSK and MJK they do use the HK-416.
M4s are fine for short deployments.
Carried one for almost 2 years and through a couple deployments when I was in the corps. PMags work fine on the factory gun. Decking it out in all sorts of accessories doesn’t make the rifle perform any better. The only gripe I ever had with it is the factory buttstock. They are wide as hell with a massive rubber end piece that makes it difficult to shoulder while wearing armor. Food for thought
thats why they released the HK slimline stock... exactly for more comfortable use with plate carriers and the likes...
ambientcaps so I’ve seen. Still a fantastic rifle. If not the best on the market right now
Alex Watt yeah ok your right putting unnecessary accessories on it is bad however most if not all of the accessories that he has on are essential to his use for the rifle
@@skinWalkman How did it handle heat buildup?
Leo incredibly well. Even through extensive firing days it handles and dissipates heat very well
My favorite ice cream flavor is pralines and cream. Great review. Great perspective. Thank you.
Best gun ever, the only gun I as a non american learned in and out while in the military. In my 12 months of training it never jammed or acted up once. I'm not a gun person but sometimes I like to look at this thing on the internet simply because I miss it a little. Such an awesome weapon.
UA-cam asked me what I thought of this video. When submitting my reason I chose “calming”.
My first thought was that he needs to do ASMR weapons reviews.
“The upper was purchased by me and left a large dent in my pocket” lol
I bought the complete gun $3500 Why mix and match ??? Pay the money 💰 my life is worth it.
Would you buy a Ferrari and then put Volkswagen parts in it?
That’s a spicy meatball, no???
bennyhgonter hmm okay?
@@bennyhgonter what army are you defending yourself against to need a $3500 gun?
@@jonathanjames8765 Buy once, cry once.
@@vacayooper4728 Same argument could be made for owning a machine gun. We all know at some point it's not practical and it's just excessive.
Your timing for a vid is impeccable
Desert Eagle 50AE w a POLYMER frame. That had some recoil lol.
weapon of choice for many members of Tier 1 units. If its good enough for CAG its probably a decent weapon.
Being from Kentucky, and bourbon being our unofficial state drink, my favorite ice cream is Bourbon Butter Pecan. If you've never had it, you're missing out.
I'm sure but we're talk'n 'bout guns here...
Lars Swede someone didn’t watch the end of the video
Good to know.
I thought it was the official?
@@reyzephlyn105 Of course not, and we have the alcoholics to prove it. :)
My favorite ghost recon wildlands rifle. Such cag, much operator.
I prefer the ACR
the koi pond video is so old and funny. Glad to know we've all seen it and not just me at 3 am on youtube
HK416 and MK18 are works of art.
A few years ago I was shooting my father's old Mauser rifle. I was leaning on a snowmobile so the position was quite unusual for me. Since I was leaning forwards my face closer to the scope than it should so when I fired the rifle the recoil made the scope hit just above my right eyebrow.
Also, great shooting in the beginning intro!
Bet it was an 8mm.
@@varanid9 It was an old rifle my grandfather bought cheap off the Norwegian army. Apperantly the rifles were originally 8mm but converted to 30-08 after the second world war.
I already have a HK416 and know a lot more about it than you. But mine is caliber 6mm BB, so wtf?
Vfc😉
Even airsoft is better, than nothing. And welcome to Team416, pals :)
Needs moar Marui Recoil Magic, Borther
Tm recoil shock nerd
@@redacted3049 I have three of them, and one of them of course is an HK416, soooooo yeah
1:38 I did, step dad stood me out hunting and howled me what shooting a gun was like, she auto a shotgun then showed me how to do it, squeeze don’t pull trigger, hold it tight, al,shot drop it 😅. I didn’t and was fun but it was fun bonding.
HK416 is hands down, the best assault rifle in the world. When most special forces and police worldwide choose to use this assault rifle, you just know how good and effective it is.
Delta might drop 416 very soon
