M4 with SOPMOD Package

The M4A1 carbine is a shorter version of the M16 assault rifle that, like it's parent rifle, fires 5.56mm NATO ammunition. It is currently used in 41 different countries. It is very similar to earlier M16 carbine versions such as the XM177. It's shorter length makes it better for urban combat than the M16, due to the M16s long barrel making it hard to exit vehicles and maneuver inside buildings properly. However, it's shorter barrel does makes it less accurate. Also, the M4 can fire on semiautomatic and full automatic, while the M16A4 can only fire semiautomatic and three shot burst. The M4 is currently the standard issue to U.S. Special Operations Units, however it is soon to be replaced by the much more durable HK416.

M4 in Game

In Armed Assault the M4 is only used by US soldiers and uses 20 round or 30 round STANAG magazines. There are two different firing modes, a semi-automatic mode and a 3 round burst. The 3 round burst is rather inaccurate so it is highly reccomended to stay on the semi-automatic firing mode.

There are 2 versions of the M4 in game, the first has an Aimpoint CompM2 sight mounted, the second has an M203 grenade launcher and an M150 RCO sight mounted.

In Arma 2 the M4 comes in multiple different variations, each one having a different sight or a grenade launcher, depending on which the player chooses. It is first introduced in Arma 2 but is not used very much in Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, where it is replaced by the SCAR.
