The H&amp;K model selected is the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle, a derivative of the famous H&amp;K 416. The M27 features a 16-inch \u00a0barrel. This is important for the velocity needed to make 5.56 lethal at that\u00a0range.

But all the guns they sold were basically military models changed to meet civilian legal requirements. It was a huge deal the first time H&amp;K built a pistol with a US-style magazine release. Now, we can look forward to weapons built specific to the US market, our preferred styles are taken into account.
