Yes. Project started inΒ US in 1990th and was nearly cancelled in 2005. However, around 2010 HK started to sell it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure XM8s didn't have 1913 rail systems for mounting things like you put in the picture. The used a different kind of mounting system called PCAP. Picatinny Combat Attachment Points.

They actually used a tiny bit of both and there was going to be a version that was entirely 1913.

I think the barrel melts when you shoot it.

Barrel is not the same, it has different rifling and according to H&K it's specially designed to last longer.
Not sure if that is true.

Is the M16 cold, hammer forged steel?

No it's not. There is no proof that it is. The barrel is rifled to operate at 11 inches and length doesn't effect accuracy anyways.
It effects range, noises, and recoil.

That's for all guns if you shoot it enough times.

You can run 90 rounds out of an M16 without stopping and still be fine.
No pauses, besides reloading.
