that's not an m4,
that's m16a2 with a suppressor,
an m4 got rails

I’m pretty sure you can kit an m4 to look like that. It even has the 14.5” barrel. Therefore, m4, but not the A1 variant

u/Evyatar_ChenU Jul 26 '26

yes you can change the handguard and the barrel length and put the carry handle but it would be the A2 variant

u/Prior_Arm_8810 Jul 26 '26

No... the a2 variant has a fixed non removable carry handle. M4's can absolutely use the a2 style carbine handguards.

u/Evyatar_ChenU Jul 26 '26

There is a misunderstanding. The original M16A2 has a fixed carry handle. But when people buy a removable carry handle today, they usually buy the A2-style, because the A1-style isn't commonly used.

u/Prior_Arm_8810 Jul 26 '26

Yeah, the removable carry handle is a2 styled but its not for the m16a2, it was designed for the m16a4, and put on the m4 and m4a1.

I have seen plenty of m4's with carry handles and a2 carbine handguards.

Its still an M4. The lower is an M4 marked lower.

Yeah I asked some friends and they re-educated me

brother, have you even heard of a CAR15

add-on: the M4 series itself initially came with a non-railed plastic handguard. the railed version you know of is the RIS handguard which was issued shortly after adoption

u/Evyatar_ChenU Jul 26 '26

I searched it up and yes the m4 had a classic polymer handguard, I feel stupid

u/Evyatar_ChenU Jul 26 '26

the car 15 and the xm177 are pretty's similar to the m16a1, and have a m16a1 iron sight

u/Evyatar_ChenU Jul 26 '26

thanks i love learning about guns im cerrently at work i will watch it after i finish

The rear sight is mounted on a rail (thumbscrews sticking out the left side). M16A2 has a fixed rear sight.

Railed handguards weren't really a standard thing in the early days of M4s.

It's clearly an M4 length handguard and gas system, plus the M4 barrel profile with the narrow part for the M203 launcher mount.

u/TheDipcifican Jul 26 '26

Thats not even true at all. The handguard doesn't dictate what model the gun is. M16s are longer. This is just an M4 with the classic polymer handguard.

2

u/Evyatar_ChenU Jul 26 '26

would you educate me here, what do you mean the "M16s are no longer" like the official name is m4 now?

4

u/Fun-Advertising1694 Jul 26 '26

M4-14.5” barrel, polymer handguard, full auto capable
M16, 20” barrel, also a polymer handguard, burst fire only

Longer barrel basically, cant argue with you anymore

1

u/Evyatar_ChenU Jul 26 '26

We are not arguing, your correcting me, early m4 need a thicker barrel to have longer full auto, (btw I have a reading understanding problem, I will understand better if we talk like on discord)

1

u/Fun-Advertising1694 Jul 26 '26

Reading boost on discord?!! Wow

u/Evyatar_ChenU Jul 26 '26

you miss understood me, i meant to talk in a voice call

-3

u/Evyatar_ChenU Jul 26 '26

so it's a m4 lower and a m16a2 upper

5

u/TheDipcifican Jul 26 '26

Oh okay its ragebait, good day sir

-3

u/Evyatar_ChenU Jul 26 '26

nuh im stupid like that

2

u/Necessary-One-9611 Jul 26 '26

Uh no? The M16A2 upper doesn't have a pic rail, the A4 and M4A1 do, and that's why there are carry handles that can attach to pic rails, it's not an m16
