The '''M4''' is a well-rounded weapon that possesses decent handling, damage, and accuracy. It possesses the ability to fire in 3-round bursts, as well as a mediocre rate-of-fire and a rather low damage drop-off. That being said, it is still suitable for mid-to-long range engagements.
 
The '''M4''' is an American-made 5.56x45mm-caliber carbine, derived from the AR-15 rifle series, more specifically the [[M16|M16A2]]. The weapon was originally developed and manufactured by Colt's Manufacturing Company, but has since been made by dozens of local and foreign arms companies, many of whom have their own proprietary designs.
 
 
The M4 and it's many variants are one of the most popular weapon systems in the world, adopted by numerous law enforcement agencies, private and state armed forces, and special forces units, thanks to it's straightforward design, reliability, and flexibility with modifications.
 
 
The M4 in-game is a well-rounded weapon that possesses decent handling, damage, and accuracy, although it's compact nature makes it excel in close-quarters combat above all. Compared to other AR-15 platforms in the game however, it's ability to use 3-round bursts, middling rate-of-fire, and lower damage drop-off, still makes it's long-range performance better than most other AR-15s in the game.

This however, is not reflected on the weapon's model, which only has a 3-position fire selector for safe, semi-auto, and burst. Additionally, this is rather baffling since the weapon's lower receiver is from an M4A1, which would have "auto" written in the place of "burst", since the M4A1 is not capable of 3-round bursts.
 
*The weapon's default barrel is abnormally short for an M4 carbine, more closely resembling the much shorter 10.5 inch barrel used by the MK18 MOD 0. Attaching the extended barrel mod, however, returns it to the traditional 14.5 inch barrel used by M4s.
