Yes, when I was on Det with JSOTF Afgahnistan2012, that is all the JSOF guy's had was 416 and SCAR system Light and heavy, we got to shoot them all. The Det even got certified on the SCAR's meaning qualified.

Cool stuff I wish the army had this love the M4 but wouldn't mind the M27 that's for sure.

The M27 is the H&K 417, which is a piston driven, rather than gas impingement system. It looks and is operated the same as an M16 or M-4, but it is a better and more reliable weapon.

SSG(P) (Join to see) - I just read that the Army intends to replace the m4 with 7.62 rifle and the 417 is a candidate.
