Two Afghan guards were killed in an assault on a logistics company working with NATO forces in western Afghanistan, police said on November 3, adding that all the attackers had been killed.
yup looks like a 417.
italian SF have been using HKs for a while now but the M4 and G3 series are still the standard issued weapons
here is a 416 in Astan
and this one may be 417 during a parade in 2010
Yes, HK417 with 12.5" barrel in DMR configuration. Looks like weapon of wounded Italian soldier.

The optic on the 417 is a Short-Dot with LT mount, too.
thats a sweet setup on the 417, hopefully hk will get the civilian ones on the market this year-and if so hopefully it doesnt break the bank too bad
Oh, it will definately break the bank. Probably in the $3500+ range. However, you’re getting a firearm from one of the few firearms companies that strives for excellence in engineering now days. You’re getting a production firearm that borderlines on custom level design, materials, and quality overall.
Ok thanks guys I think your right
