The M4A1 Carbine is a lightweight, air-cooled, gas-operated rifle used primarily by the U.S. military. It features a shorter barrel than the standard rifle, making it easier to handle in close quarters. The M4A1 is a versatile weapon that can fire semi-automatically or in automatic bursts, and it is designed to use a 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge. It includes modular features, allowing soldiers to customize it with optics, grips, and attachments. Widely adopted since the 1990s, the M4A1 has become a standard firearm for American troops, known for its accuracy and adaptability in various combat situations.
