Trivia

 * Before the v0.4.2 "" update on June 21, 2018, the M416 was called the HK416. This is also the case for the Glock 18C (Shortened to G18C), due to copyright issues.
 * Although it is now called the M416, it's internal ID is still "hk416"
 * The name M416 is also used in place of the HK416 in video game franchises such as Player Unknown's Battlegrounds and the Battlefield series. These changes were done due to copyright reasons (Heckler and Koch is the name of a real life German armament company).
 * The DEagle 50 was also renamed similarly due to copyright issues, and it was known as Desert Eagle before.
 * The real-life HK416 was made by Heckler & Koch as an improved version of the M4A1. In fact, it was originally called the "HK M4" by Heckler & Koch, but the name was dropped due to a copyright dispute. In-game, though, the M4A1-S is an improved M416.
 * In real-life, the M416 is more accurate than its rival, the AK-47. However, this is not reflected in-game, due to the M416 representing the HK416, having been changed due to copyright.
 * The weapon that used to kill Osama Bin Laden is M416.
