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.
