The M4 rifle is only the latest in a long line of U.S. Military service rifles. It's shape, and general function have been familiar to people of military service, military and weaponry historians, and gun enthusiasts for several generations as the AR-15. The M4 is the current incarnation of the AR-15 design. As combat evolved, so did the AR-15.
Tactical rifles must suit their environment for successful tactical use. In increasing situations of close quarters battle, the need for carbine rifles arose, hence the M4 carbine. What makes the M4 distinguishable from the it's AR-15 ancestor is the M4's short barrel and four position collapsible stock. The compact nature of the M4 makes it less suitable for long range engagements. But for non-infantry troops and special forces the M4 Carbine is the ideal tactical rifle.
The rail system of M4 allows the user a variety of optional M4 accessories contributing to the modular nature of the tactical rifle. Laser sights, vertical grips, flashlights, scopes, night vision sights and range finders are among the M4 accessories that are commonly used in conjunction with the M4 rifle. The modular attachments increase the ease of aiming, increase precision and enhance the overall experience of the M4 rifle.
The M4 experience is not limited to military. Gun enthusiasts know the joy of an AR-15 and can have a similar experience with a civilian model M4. Chambered in .223 Remington the civilian M4 is easy to control, precise and maneuverable. Many of the the M4 accessories are also available to the civilian market and are easily equipped with a series of mounting rails. With the collapsible stock and M4 accessories available, the evolution of the AR-15 is more customizable to your specific needs making it your M4.
