I guess because I wish to type something I'll humor myself and answer to this.

With the current "conflict" in Iraq and Afghanistan I would prefer an HK416. The M4A1 though is the rifle used by the U.S Military is at the very best, is the cheapest but most effective rifle the Government could find. The M4A1 has an issues with an over heating barrel, and like it's counter part the M16 can't preform like it should with out constant cleaning.

The HK416 is similar to the M4, but has a unique system developed by H&K to disperse heat and perform better when it's internals are dirty. The HK416 also boast the rails across the top, side, and bottom of the weapon. Allowing similar platforms used on the M4 to be transfer to the Hk416.

As for modification. A simple reflex red dot scope to be added. No zoom feature would really be needed. A vertical fore-grip to help with stability and closer ranges. I guess if I have to, a torchlight for indoors.

As a back up weapon, I would have two choices.

The first H&K Mk23 SOCOM 45. The pistol is basically a primary weapon on it's own. Threaded for a suppressor and undermount laser, in a indoor environment in can be just as deadly as any other weapon.

It is a little heavy and larger then most pistols, so my other choice would be a M1911.45MEU(SOC). A USMC enhanced Colt M1911A1. It has been fine tuned to fix the M1911 old problems, mainly recoil and accuracy. It also has larger sights, less trigger weight and, a large number of small advantages over a civilian handgun. (Filing to the thumb safety, a ring hammer, filed trigger, polished internals and so on)

Anyways, the only reason I know most about this weapons is back when I 13, 14 years old I was heavily interested into the military. I still am, but more in the military itself then the things they do.

Beings I am in the military, the weapon we go through with at Basic is the regular M16. Though as Solid stated the Army issues you an M4A1 when you deploy to combative areas which like the M16 needs constant cleaning and easily overheats.

I side with Solid with the HK416. As for a secondary weapon I'd choose the M1911A1. Minimal recoil, 15 round clip, and suppressor/laser/scope mountable.

Personally, I prefer the HKMP5 series. Compact yet powerful, they use the standard 9mm that is found in most sidearms, making it easy to scrounge if need be. Yes, that is a little small for most people, who look down at the 9mm, the MP5 uses it well. Since there are so many variations for different needs, with or folding stocks, silencers or other features, there's always a model to suit your needs. Also, the choice of single-shot, three round burst and full auto is not a bad item to list either. The downside is that it is best served in confined or shrot range areas, where it's 9mm load isn't an issue.

All in all, it's not a weapon for long range fighting. In those cases, I'd stick with (like the others) something like the HK416. As for sidearm, I would have to take the Mk23.

A weapon is simply a tool, and as for myself, i am a swordsman...
