Well that's boring. I miss the old days where every European country had some oddball unique space marine looking rifle. The L85, the G36, the Famas, the Aug, etc. Now everyone just uses what actually works

I'd be curious to know the basis to consider the other designs in the competition (I know the SCAR was one, I don't know if there were any others) to be failures
Good news for HK, I wonder where all the old FAMAS will go
The Germans arming the French? Next it will be cats and dogs living together...

Is that barrel mounted front sight in the photo unique to the French version of the 416?
No, those have been around quite awhile on the longer barreled guns. Because most of the 416's we see here are the short guns, we are not used to seeing the service rifle configuration.
