How it works is the people who would get the most use from the lighter rifle get the M4. That means every infantry guy should have one and not every intel guy. Everyone else gets an M16. I don't know if the Army is going to do away with the M16 altogether or slowly phase in the M4's.

the army subject concerns M-4s and the marines use M-sixteen's except your interest demands a M4(like a LAV crewman) we don't use the 1911 anymore, you would be issued a M9 if issued a pistol. the 416 is known between SF contraptions and ive seen pictures of a few widely used infanrty using it. you're precise it somewhat relies on the M16/4 yet makes use of the G36 gas and piston gadget. it somewhat is extremely good. infact the marines have made it into the M27 IAR that's meant to be a replacmet for the 249.(confident they have began engaged on a extensive ability magazine for it) and that i dont see how your a freak reason you study alot relating to the protection rigidity, hell i do too and ive had buddies inquire from me to assist them handle contracts and enlistment papers, no person calls me a freak, basically a protection rigidity geek ;D

The army already had the M4 at one time and quickly went to the M-16. The M-16A4 has a complete rail system for a plug and play type of rifle.

I often see (in the news) US troops in Iraq carrying Kalashnikovs: AK-47, AKM, AK-74, RPK.
Is Kalashnikov became the standard US Army weapon?
