The HK416 is actually just a variant of the M4, but is superior to the M4; having less stoppages (jams) by a margin of about 4:1.

....Oh boy.
That is like saying a Shelby Mustang is just a Toyota with an American accent.

The Hk416 and M4A1 are not the same thing. HK designed the 416 too resemble and take on the best of the M4 it's length it's Stock it's adaptability. well eliminating as much of it's unwanted issues. The Primary and most key change is the operation 416 uses a G36 derived self regulating short stroke gas piston. It's self derived from the AR18's operation. this means that when a round is fired the gases from the fired round are diverted into a piston too cycle the action as opposed too the M4 where they flow directly back into the upper receiver. This Change then resulted in changes too the gas block and upper receiver. the upper is slightly taller then that of a M4 too accept the new gas system The Gas block needed a new design as the A frame style is not capable of operating in a maner the 416 needs. So HK built a lower profile type that fits the piston valve and because the sight it usually mounted there they built a flip up Iron sight. Then they decided well they were at it too build a unique rail system this solves another issue with M4 in that there rail will always return too zero when mounted as opposed too most after market Rail systems that are iffy on this. The bolt is not interchangeable with a M4 because of the piston system and the weapon has a special buffer assembly too. HK lowers feature HK style markings a better then standard trigger set a unique stock and pistol grip as well as a diffident magazine well profile that is straighter then that of the regular M4 controls are Ambi as stock unlike M4 which needs modification for such.
