[Tsunami]

I had the opportunity to shoot a 416 in NC at a contractors range that is currently all over the news... It's an amazing weapon, the HK rep buried it in sand and dunked it in water - each time the weapon performed flawlessly. Its ashame we can go drop a couple billion dollars on r&d while the soldier is forced to use an inferior weapon.
Let me be clear, I adore the AR-15 and have experienced minimal issues w/ the issue M-4. Considering the enemy is wielding the AK-47 - we are still in a good position. However - if there is technology available that can prevent a soldier's demise, the government owes it to the soldier to actively pursue that item, in this case - the HK 416.
I better be careful - starting to sound like a HK sales rep...
