01.A note to M4.
MM4 carbine, which is also a submachine gun. This ** is made by the American company Colt, is lightweight, simple in structure, and is a simplified version of M16A2. This gun uses the M16's gas propulsion system, and its magazine is basically the same as that of the M16, with a 30-round magazine and a NATO system 556 x 45 mm magazine. Since March 1991, the M4 Carib has been trusted by the US side.
Since 1994, this gun has been equipped on a large scale by the United States, replacing the M16, an old-fashioned rifle, and is now the largest number of individual soldiers in the United States. The XM8, which was originally intended to replace the M4, still plays a pivotal role in the U.S. team.
The M4 is now not only the workhorse of the American ** team, but also popular among special forces around the world. But there's more to M4 than just one name. The Italian company Bonelli has developed a Bonelli M4, which is why it is called the Super 90. This tri-service combat shotgun, developed for the United States, fires 12-inch shotguns, which are completely different from the aforementioned M4 rifles.
02.M4 special performance.
What are the features of the M4 carbine? As a typical attack**, it has a lot of unique characteristics that can be used in different combat scenarios.
First of all, this M4 rifle is outstanding in terms of distance and accuracy. It is equipped with a sniper rifle that allows fighters to accurately hit the enemy over a long period of time, and due to its relatively high shooting accuracy, it reduces error, reduces dispersion, and thus increases the hit rate.
Secondly, it is characterized by one of its characteristics, which is that it is reliable and durable. The gun uses excellent materials and manufacturing techniques that allow it to be used in any harsh environment. Whether in the desert, rainforest or mountainous area, the M4 rifle can maintain good performance, making fighters more confident on the battlefield.
In addition, a prominent feature of the MM4 rifle is its modular design. This gun can be quickly adjusted to meet a variety of **and** needs. Such a structure not only increases the mobility and applicability of the rifle, but also reduces the load of the fighters in the field.
The M4 rifle, on the other hand, is the same as the M16 rifle, both pneumatically driven and with magazines. The gun had a magazine of 30 rounds, 556*45 mm NATO-standard ammunition. The M4 combines the power and agility of a submachine gun to ensure excellent overall effectiveness. The M4 has proven its excellence in many campaigns, including U.S. military exercises in Afghanistan and Iraq. In addition, the M4 carbine, also known as the M4A1, adopted a special 14The 5-inch short gun construction with a movable rear bracket and safety device allows it to adapt to a variety of situations.
Fourthly, it is characterized by one of its features, the rate of fire. It uses a fully automatic firing method, which can fire a large amount of ammunition at a very fast speed in a very short time, bringing a strong sense of pressure and damage to the enemy. Such a high rate of fire is particularly suitable for close combat, which can quickly eliminate enemy fire points.
03.The historical context of research and development.
In 1962, the M16 submachine gun, as a pioneer of small caliber, became the standard configuration in the US ** team. However, in the rainforests of Vietnam, this plant has encountered a lot of problems. Because the body of the bomb is prone to dirt, resulting in jamming, shell breakage, magazine damage, inner chamber rust and other phenomena. At the same time, the lack of cleaning equipment exacerbates the problem.
In the face of public skepticism, the U.S. side made changes and completely updated the M16 to a lighter M16A1. Later, after the wars in Panama and Somalia, the U.S. team replaced the smaller M16A2 in 1983. The automated M16A3 is the new darling of the US Army, and the improved large-caliber M16A4 is the standard configuration of the Army.
Over the decades, the M16 has grown to become the world's largest firearms family and plays a pivotal role. At the same time, due to the shortcomings of the CAR-15 sniper rifle used by the US military in terms of distance and trajectory, the US and the Navy jointly developed an improved version of the carbine.
The new gun was named M4, which was inspired by the previous M16 and XM177. The gun adopts two structures: air conduction, air cooling and rotation, and uses a magazine to feed ammunition, and can also be selected from a variety of firing methods. Compared to the M16, the M4 rifle has a shorter body and a shorter body, which minimizes 3683 mm, which also reduces the weight of the fuselage, allowing it to quickly lock in hand-to-hand combat.
You must know that more than 80% of the parts between M16 and M4 can be shared, which greatly facilitates the logistics support of both sides. Since its birth, M4 has replaced 0The M3 of the 45 ACP caliber became the new equipment of the US military's engineering, combat personnel and other front-line units.
04.Brief summary.
In conclusion, the M4 rifle is characterized by such characteristics as long range, high accuracy, high reliability, durability, modular design, high rate of fire. The above features make the M4 carbine an excellent attack**, which can bring strong fire support to fighters and improve combat efficiency in different combat conditions.
