Description
The MR223 is the civilian counterpart for the HK416 the latter being the weapon which made many of those working in the industry claim that M16 has finally reached a state-of-the-art level. In order to eliminate the main shortcomings of the M16 i.e. the tendency of the weapon to get clogged with carbon residue ? Heckler & Koch has replaced the direct gas impingement system with an indirect system via short-stroke piston, which is exactly the same of the G-36 and the XM8.
