Military Times is now quoting sources that OBL was whacked with the HK416.

Well, this ought to drive the price of a rifle that's already ridiculous to new levels of absurdity. HK is going to hate us even more, now.

I got a chance to shoot a 416 in Norway on both semi and full auto, they are a wonderful weapon and a nice improvement over the issue M4.

There are far too many leaks for a classified mission like this one. Details like how and what he was shot with are all speculation. Dead is dead.

True. And we are gun nuts. Most of us find anything about guns to be intriguing, especially the gun that was used by a US Navy SEAL to kill OBL.

I work with a guy, who's sister is married to a guy that knows Chuck Norris (he's facebook friends anyway) and he said that it was actually a Glock that took out OBL. If anyone would have details about covert ops, I'd think it would be Chuck.
