HK416 - Delta Force - Weapons

-

HK416 is possibly the weapon of choice for 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D)a.k.a Delta Force over the Colt M4A1.


The HK416 uses a proprietary gas system derived from the HK G36, replacing the direct impingement gas system used by the standard M16/M4. The HK system uses a short-stroke piston driving an operating rod to force the bolt carrier to the rear. This design prevents combustion gases from entering the weapon’s interior, a shortcoming with direct impingement systems. The reduction in heat and fouling of the bolt carrier group increases the reliability of the weapon and extends the interval between stoppages. It also reduces operator cleaning time and stress on critical components.

HK416 is a gas operated, selective fired weapon of modular design. It uses short-stroke gas piston that operates the 7-lug rotating bolt. Receiver is made from high grade aluminium alloy. Combination-type safety / fire selector allows for single shots and full automatic mode. Hk416 retains all M16-style controls, including last round bolt hold-open device, rear-based charging handle and magazine release button on the right side of the magazine well. HK416 is fitted with four Picatinny rails as standard, and may accept any type of sighting devices on STANAG-1913 compliant mounts. It also can accept modified HK AG36/AG-C 40mm grenade launcher, which is clamped directly to bottom rail. Buttstock is of typical M4 design, multi-position telescoped.

24th April 2009, Kuala Lumpur. What turns out to be a normal daily run of delivering bricks turn into a freak accident as our latest Darwin award winner found out. The decease Mr. Lee was on his daily run to deliver bricks ordered by a customer. Mr.Lee failed to perform a couple of important lesson which lead to his demise which is when one park he’s or her’s vehicle especially a 3 tonne truck to unload any sort of goods it pays to have a common sense to turn off the engine. No matter how long the stop takes or how long one driving experience has in his/her entire life. And secondly the parking brakes are installed for a reason. It pays to use it when parking. Where Mr.Lee fail in common sense makes up in creativity or in this case uniqueness on how to get a first class ticket boarding flight to St. Peter’ gate. As Mr.Lee got down from his 3 tonne truck to unload the bricks he left the engine running while uploading the brick from the back of the truck. The 3 tonne truck moved backwar
