HK417

Description:

The HK417 assault rifle is the 7.62mm version of the HK416 that was initially developed as a collaboration between US Army Delta and Heckler & Koch. Although not designed as a sniper rifle, its accuracy out to 600 meters has led to numerous armies adopting it as a 'Designated Marksman rifle'.

PRIMAL Assessment:

An excellent weapon system for those trained on the AR-15 series of weapons as it has the same controls. Improvements on the AR design include increased reliability, a gas piston upper receiver and the ability to easily change barrels.
