zissou Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 the hk416 is an ar-15 type assault rifle that doesn't come stock with a 12" barrel http://www.heckler-koch.com/en/products/military/assault-rifles/hk416-a5/hk416-a5-11/overview.html the hk417 on the other hand is a 7.62mm battle rifle / dmr (whatever you like to call it, read it goes pew pew longer) http://www.heckler-koch.com/en/products/military/assault-rifles/hk417/hk417-a2-165/overview.html PERO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessedUpSmiley Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 As Zissou said it's a realistic feature, the difference is that it's a small step from the 16'' variant as a 'Battle Rifle' to a 'Designated Marksman Rifle' especially if you slap on a medium/long range scope. This difference has also led to the fact that whilst playing certain classes the usage of the 16 inch variants is restricted.

Alrighty that make a ton more sense to me.. But both shoot 7.62 in game. By the title I presume you are meaning to say that this difference occurs with both the m416 and m417 rifles. Which are pretty much the same, except the round it chambers(and the parts that come with it). I will clarify a bit more, it is not a hidden stat nor a realistic feature we(as in AW) are playing on. It is however a realistic feature added by the mods maker blazenchamber, to indeed add a realistic aspect as the real weapons differ in weight as well. However, I doubt that the weight difference displayed in game is comparable to that of it's real life counter parts. Seen that the M417 13'' weights 4.22kg, and the M417 16.5'' weights 4.4kg. It would be less that 10% weight difference IRL compared to about 20% difference in game(as a rough estimate seen from your screenshots). This goes for both the M416 and M417.
