Well I thought this might be a good place for this article, the Commandant has ordered the full replacement of the M16A4 with the M4 Carbine/or Mini 4 by the end of FY 2016 (Sep.) also in an ongoing process the AB49 round will became the standard issue round of the CORPS. In tests conducted by the CORPS the M4 w/AB49 demonstrated better ballistic characteristics out to 600m then the M16A4.

Something to keep my learned Marine friend busy!?!
