 : First off, you should always sign your comments using ~~~~. I can't find the edit you made, and have no clue when it was made. Secondly, I believe the comparison was made between the HK416 and the M4 it's an upgrade of and not in comparison to the M16. The barrel being free-floating might or might not compensate but regardless there has to be some way to verify your statements through reliable sources, even more so since there is no way to determine if you are an acknowledged weapons expert or a kid who played Call of Duty.
