Affordable HK416 | IWI ARAD 5 (FIRST LOOK)
This video provides a first look at the IWI ARAD, a rifle designed to offer HK416-like performance at a more accessible price point. The reviewer highlights its piston-driven system, semi-monolithic upper, and AR-15 compatible lower, noting its smooth operation and soft recoil. While acknowledging the aesthetic disconnect between the modern upper and standard lower, the reviewer explains IWI's rationale for cost reduction. Initial testing showed zero malfunctions with 200 rounds fired, and accuracy was under 2 MOA at 100 yards.
