HK416
How did HK manage to con so many governments and HK paypigs that it was better than a regular AR?

Because no ITAR and governments don't pay consumer prices.
For the consumer side of things it's just GWOT SF dickriding.

DI is for larperator toys. Really smooth to shoot, softer recoil despite lower mass.
But if you want your warfighting weapon to work reliably in adverse conditions including your picrelated (arctic), it's gotta have a piston.

However the new Finnish NATO-compatible service rifle comes in both DI and piston variants.
Sako turned the sloppy & loose AK platform into a veritable marksman's rifle, maybe they can make a reliable DI AR too.

Because HK marketing and Yuros being biologically incapable of comprehending a self-loading rifle operating without a reciprocating piston.

I trust Sako could do it even if H&K didn't bother trying.

Fun fact, early HK416A8s had severe issues in extreme cold conditions. Everything from extreme gas system fouling to the controls freezing and even parts breaking.
Apparently because it was only tested in room temperature with civilian ammo.

But you'll buy HK anyways or you aren't a real operator.

Doesn't it come down to deep cleaning the gun and using a specific lubricant for artic environments? And from there keeping it outside so it doesn't form condensate in the inner workings?

ARs don't jam in the arctic because of DI, they jam because of the original extractor spring assembly.

The dual-spring bolts solve the problem of cold weather extractor failure, and any piston AR which doesn't have it will jam more than a DI which does. Piston ARs will jam more in general, they're just inferior.

We switched from 11.5 Colts to 416D’s back in 2006 and the FA recoil impulse was much better on the HK (and a quick clean job only needed at the end of range day).

HK could only succeed cause the original M4 is an unreliable pile of shit.
Nobody wanted an AR before HK slapped a piston on it properly.
People also do not buy it because it's an AR pattern and AR pattern is especially good. They buy it because it's HKs latest offering.

DI beats piston in EVERY dirt/mud test. Which is an extremely common condition on virtually every battlefield. As others have also mentioned, the gas system isnt why ARs fail in extreme cold weather.

Idk about your 3rd world country, but proper militaries keep track on the shot count of their rifles and perform regular maintenance.
An "armorer" isn't usually a guy who hands you a roughly rifle shaped objects and checks if you handed him a roughly rifle shaped object back, he is supposed to keep it in working order by replacing wear parts.
His job might be impossible if his job is to hand you a working M4 though. No matter the age.
