The Heckler & Koch HK416 is an assault rifle designed and manufactured by Heckler & Koch. It is based on the AR-15 platform and was originally conceived as an improvement to the Colt M4 carbine family issued to the U.S. military with the notable inclusion of an HK-proprietary short-stroke gas piston system derived from the Heckler & Koch G36.
