It’s an HK416 with a 16.5” barrel, which is what the SEALs actually used in the real operation. You can tell by the white safety setting, the rail and the shape of the magazine well.--[[User:GunGenius1|GunGenius1]] ([[User talk:GunGenius1|talk]]) 23:24, 26 July 2022 (EDT) | |||

Rifles used by the SEALs in the actual event
According to a comment posted on Matt Bissonette's website, the SEALs who took part in the op used plain old HK416s rather than sniper rifles. I'd consider that a reliable source. Is it worth pointing out on the page? Spartan198 (talk) 23:14, 12 May 2020 (EDT)

This isn't an SR-25.
