That\u2019s admittedly a pretty stupid question. Zombies and time machines are not technically real, and I am a 58-year-old gray-haired Army veteran with chronic low back pain. The only emotion I might conjure from a group of hot cheerleaders these days is pity or perhaps bemusement. Regardless, if ever I had to face the undead Roman hordes, I\u2019d pick the HK416, particularly after I had slipped in my favorite heavy buffer. Compact, utterly reliable, and pure unfiltered death at bad breath ranges, if it is good enough for Delta Force, I suppose it is good enough for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been said that men really only think about three things\u2014how to survive the zombie apocalypse, ancient Rome, and scantily-clad women. Though I would love to take issue with that allegation, it is lamentably fairly accurate. As a result, whenever two or more gun nerds are gathered together, the conversation invariably gravitates toward, \u201cWhat would you use if you were called upon to survive the zombie plague in ancient Rome alongside the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of these three full-auto carbines has certain relative strengths. The G36 is the lightest and easiest to carry. The SCAR16, with its bradycardic rate of fire, is hands-down the most fun. The HK416 interfaces with the human form like your favorite pair of broken-in Levis. Each has much to commend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 7.3 pounds, the SCAR16 is a bit heavier than the G36. However, the cyclic rate is fairly comatose at between 600 and 650 rounds per minute. This is faster than a Sten, Grease Gun, or MP40 but slower than an M2 carbine, M4, or Uzi. The SCAR16 is my favorite recreational full-auto carbine as a result. The combination of the manly aluminum construction and sedate rate of fire synergistically combine to make the gun exceptionally controllable on rock and roll. The SCAR also has the added benefit of being the only one of the three guns evaluated that is actually readily available in semi-auto form to American civilian shooters, albeit at an astronomical price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire controls and magazine release on the SCAR16 are fully ambidextrous. The bolt catch is left side-only and located in the same spot as that of the M4. The rigid charging handle is readily reversible. On early versions of the gun this appendage reciprocated with the bolt. This allowed the action to be manually manipulated in the unlikely event of a stoppage. However, there was a not-zero probability that it could rap your knuckles, particularly when moving fast. Later versions of the gun incorporate a non-reciprocating design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the G36 and HK416, the SCAR16 features a readily-interchangeable barrel system. The barrels can be exchanged between lengths and appropriate calibers at the user level with nothing fancier than a hex wrench. The carbine-length barrel is ten inches long and includes a manually-adjustable gas system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SCAR16 orbits around an extruded aluminum chassis with polymer particulars. The side-folding buttstock is more complicated than the human female, but it is easily adjustable for both length of pull and comb height. Like the G36 and HK416, the SCAR operates via the short-stroke, gas piston-driven action. Though this design is incrementally heavier than the simpler direct gas impingement system of the original M4, it is markedly cleaner, more reliable, and less maintenance-intensive. It is also clearly the wave of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ergonomics of the AR platform set the standard for everything else. The HK416 uses an M4 charging handle and incorporates the same magazine release and bolt catch as the legacy gun. A properly-trained operator can swap out magazines on the 416 in less time than it takes to describe. A seasoned shooter can write his name with an HK416 on full auto, particularly with the heavier buffer. The piston-driven design keeps the receivers nice and clean and is easily maintained, even in austere environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The HK416 is a bit front heavy, particularly with a suppressor installed. This makes the short-barreled version eminently controllable, particularly in confined spaces. Barrels are not readily exchangeable at the user level, but they are offered in several different lengths from the factory. The most popular CQB version sports a 10.4-inch tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
