Let's just say that if we get killed by a gun, it's better to get hit by a bullet than M4 flechettes.

No. Its rubbish. 14.5" Armashites FTL.

it's probably the most common weapon for special forces. They use it because it absolutely sucks.

But they are doing something to it in 0.5, probably increasing recoil.

I'd still want an M16 in real life. Full sized assault rifles scare people more. M4 looks like a toy. Especially when it has all those gizmo's all over it.

I love the gizmo's!

Who doesn't need a laser, torch, scope, coffee bean dispenser and a portable stove attached via RIS.

it´s basically an m16 with full auto and a shorter barrel (=carbine) made for mout and close quarter combat, it is not really much stronger than a m16 and has less range - so no it is not that good in real life

yeah, full auto isn't that usefull. But it's lighter, as you mentioned shorter barrel so it's not so bulky. Also the effective range is like 350 meters, so thats more than enough for urban combat and stuff like that. Also because of the SOPMOD kit it's a very versatile weapon.

In any urban/close combat situations you would want a m4 instead of a m16. But at longer ranges the m16 would be better.

	The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough. El_Vikingo: Bob_Marley, the level 70 pimp, will satisfy your needs. Many thanks to the Forum's no.1 hottie for the sig pretties.
