Overview[]

The HK416A8 is a German assault rifle developed in the early 2020s from the earlier HK416A7.

The weapon is currently in the procurement phase, having successfully won trials for the Bundeswehr against competing firearms such as the HK433, and the Haenel MK556. The MK556 was previously chosen as winner but has been withdrawn due to legal action regarding infringing on HK patents for the development of the weapon.
