The auto shotgun was fun to shoot, not particularly practical for the field.

Last rifle on the left is the 10.5" version of the HK416.

Weight is roughly the same as the 10.5" M-4, with the 416 being slightly heavier, IIRC.

Front sight is modular and removable. You do not need a front sight with the optical sight in place, as long as it is functioning. I have no idea why the rear sight was mounted and the front sight was not, other than the possibility that the front was easier to remove.
