🔫 M4A1 Carbine
Product Introduction
The M4A1 Carbine is the shortened, compact variant of the M16 family and the standard primary weapon of US Army infantry, special operations forces and many allied nations. Chambered for 5.56 × 45 mm NATO, it uses a direct-impingement gas system, a four-position telescoping buttstock (M4), and a 368 mm (14.5-inch) barrel. The A1 variant has a full-auto selector in place of three-round burst and a heavier SOCOM profile barrel.
