This has been hashed out so many times. Unless you're regularly shooting suppressed on full auto with a barrel less than 14.5", there is no need for a piston gun over a DI gun. Also, parts and maintenance-- there is no uniform manufacturing standard w/piston guns while with a DI gun you can pretty much interchange parts from any manufacturer because all the reputable makers follow the TDP. And, you still have to maintain and clean a piston gun. The HK 416 is a fine weapon, but even it has its drawbacks (and for the record, the MR556 is NOT a 416 and certainly not worth its price tag, IMO). For what most civvie shooters will do over here, a DI gun will more than adequately serve your needs. Keep it properly lubed and maintained and I guarantee you that you will have zero reliability issues with a quality DI gun.
