When Colt aquired the AR-15 from Armalite in 1959 it not only became the primary contractor for the pattern, but also proceded to develop an entire family of weapons around the original weapon. Colt's family came under a new name, the Colt Automatic Rifle-15, or CAR-15, and the increasing sales of rifles to the US military increased hopes that they could be induced to purchase all the other members of the family. In the end Colt developed two rifles, two Heavy BARreled rifles (or HBARs), a carbine, an ultra-short carbine, and a survival rifl ...

Sales of M4 by Colt are restricted to military and law enforcement. Only under special circumstances can a civilian own an M4 Carbine. The 14.5-inch barrel would classify the weapon as a "Short-Barreled Rifle" according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATF). The rate of fire (even for burst-firing models) would classify it as a machine gun. While many machine guns can be legally owned with a proper tax stamp from the BATF, the Gun Owner's Protection Act of 1986 barred the transfer to civilians of machine g ...

838 mm (33 in) (stock extended) 3.0 kg (6.6 lb) w/ 30 rounds The M4 Carbine traces its lineage back to earlier carbine versions of the M16, all based on the original AR-15 made by Armalite. The weapon is a shorter and lighter version of the M16A2 assault rifle, achieving 80% parts commonality with the M16A2. The M4 has selective fire options including semi-automatic and three-round burst (like the M16A2), while the M4A1 has a "full auto" option in place of the three-round burst.

Except for the very first delivery order, all U.S. military issue M4 and M4A1 possess a flat-top NATO M1913-specification rail on top of the receiver (for attachment of optical sights and other aiming devices — Trijicon TA11 and TA31 ACOGs and Aimpoint M68 CCOs being the favorite choices), and a detachable rail-mounted carrying handle. The current government standards are the Colt Model 920 (M4) and 921 (M4A1).

The Galil project began after the Six-Day War, and the design was selected by the IDF from two competing designs. The winner was based on the Finnish Rk 62 (a variant of the AK-47). The first rifles began to arrive in 1974, after the Yom Kippur War. The Galil was designed to be a domestically produced main battle rifle for the IDF, taking the best features of other rifles, such as the M16 and AK-47, and putting them into one rifle. That rifle could be adapted to any number of tasks. The result was the IMI Galil. The Galil was used by the infantry during the Lebanon War in 1982; but towards the mid-1980s, it wa ...

The Galil's main problem is weight; it is heavier than the M16A1, at around 3.9 kg (8.6 lb) empty vs the M16A1's 2.9 kg (6.4 lb), and therefore often considered to be a greater burden as a personal weapon for infantrymen, although its short length due to the folding stock made it very popular with the troops (Galil 840/614 mm vs M16A1 986 mm). The weapon never caught on among Israel's numerous special forces units, who used AK-47's both for reliability, and because of the Galil's cumbersome weight. Fighting infantry units therefore were reis ...

Nowdays, there are a number of models used: Galil ARM - the main version. Galil SAR ("short") - no bipod or carry handle, shorter barrel. Galil MAR ("micro") - which retains the internal features with a completely new frame and even shorter barrel. It has been reported that this weapon is subject to severe overheating, becoming too hot to touch after sustained automatic fire. A redesigned version is now in service with Israeli special forces in undercover operations, small enough to conceal under a jacket, yet extremely powerful. A Galil MAR variant with a redesigned receiver and front sight is in widesprea ...
