MARINES WANT MORE FROM HK
Heckler & Koch recently won a competitive contract to produce the U.S. Marine Corps’ new Infantry Automatic Rifle (IAR). The formal “Full Rate Production” announcement by the Marines caps a competition that began more than three years ago. The lightweight, 11.62-pound weapon with ancillary equipment is a variant of the highly successful HK416 used by military, law enforcement, and special operations units around the world. The contract will last 5 years and there will be one M27 IAR per four-man fire team, with three M27 IARs per squad, 28 per company and more than 4,000 across the entire Marine Corps.
