Sorry, Illusion. It can't as of yet. The PTW needs an upper with real-steel dimensions and so far HK won't sell their 416 upper to civilians. The airsoft kits are the wrong dimensions and won't fit a PTW.

But the good news is you can buy a real upper (Armalite, Bushmaster, Colt) for about $200 (stripped) new and only a few small mods are required to fit it to a PTW. Some guys in Europe do real steel uppers and lowers on PTWs. We can't do lowers here because they're the restricted item under the Firearms Act. You don't even need ID to by an upper.
