I dont think the M416 is replacing anything at all at the moment, and at the time of the XM8 testing it most certainly was not the standard assault rifle of the army that he refers to. That would be either the M4 or the M16.TheYellowCellPhone said:No, actually, I think he was refering to the Hechler & Koch 416 (AKA the HK416)Wadders said:And I believe you mean the standard issue M4/M16 rifle?

I think it's actually starting to replace the M4s and M16s as the standard assualt rifle in the US.
