HK 416A5 5.56x45 assault rifle
How It Plays
The HK 416A5 is the M4's refined sibling: slightly different handling, the same deep 5.56 modding ecosystem, and a fire rate that shreds when built for recoil. It anchors one of the toughest Gunsmith builds and tends to be a status weapon for kitted late-wipe players.
Premium 5.56 platform. The choice when money stopped being the constraint.
