Heckler & Koch HK416 instructions by knexpete
 these are the instructions for the HK416 that i made a week ago
the pics are taken by a cruddy VGA camera, so plz dont complain about picture quality

the hk416 is a version of the AR-15 (this later becomes the M16) that's been completely redesigned for increased accuracy and reliability. my gun.....doesn't fire, but looks aesthetically the same, but with a few design errors:
1) the stock is fixed in place, when the real one can be extended/retracted
2) there are no side rails on the barrel
3) the grenade launcher is an M203, not the real one the HK uses

WHY DOESN'T IT SHOOT!
No one will build it if it doesn't :P

 well, i designed the gun as a model so it would look great and not be ruined by the firing mech.
Seleziona says: Apr 16, 2010. 6:23 AM
Oh! I see!

You don't have to worry much about those siderails or that stock; the rest if the gun looks great anyways.

4.0.

 great cant wait to see it!
TigerNod says: Mar 5, 2010. 6:19 AM
I'm having a bit of troubleshooting right now. Tell me, does it need a magazine, or is it ok to make it a sigle-shot?
knexpete (author) says: Mar 5, 2010. 9:50 AM
 either would do, but which ever u think would be best
TigerNod says: Mar 5, 2010. 11:49 AM
Of course, a bolt-action one would be better if you want to use it, but it would be harder to make it look good for me. So it's your choice: looks, or prestations?
knexpete (author) says: Mar 5, 2010. 12:31 PM
 well, i dunno, as my attempt to make a firing mech has almost ruined the body of the gun for no results, so i'd say presentation
TigerNod says: Mar 5, 2010. 12:55 PM

I'm sorry, but I meant peformance instead of prestations. So, looks or peformance? Which one will it be?

knexpete (author) says: Mar 6, 2010. 12:29 AM
 looks
TigerNod says: Mar 6, 2010. 12:37 AM
Understood, I'll get to it right away.
