M4
 The M4 is a lightweight, gas operated, air cooled, magazine fed, selective rate, shoulder fired weapon with a collapsible stock. A shortened variant of the M16A2 rifle, the M4 provides the individual soldier operating in close quarters the capability to engage targets at extended range with accurate, lethal fire. The M4 Carbine achieves over 80% commonality with the M16A2 Rifle and will replace all M3 .45 caliber submachine guns and selected M9 pistols and M16 rifle series The carbine itself has about three different designations, as near as I can tell. It appears to be basically the Abu Dhabi version of the carbine for the most part; this is a modified version of the carbine designed for Abu Dhabi. It's main distinction is that it will accept the M203 grenade launcher and has the traditional shorter telescoping stock. The US special forces M16A2-style shorty carbine was designated the "M4 Carbine." Since the new carbine has a milled top to accept a scope along with the M203 adaption changes in the barrel, it has been designated the "M4A1 Carbine."
