M4 Carbine

[Delta094204]

An individual could probably buy an M4, but it would be easier just to buy an AR-15 "M4 lookalike." I mean, all you really need is a collapsing stock, 16 inch barrel, and rail. It'll look like what the troops in Iraq use for urban warfare, except that it's a civilian AR-15.

[elox02]

@NathanEG217 check the NFA classifieds. For a select fire m16 (has to be manufactured before 1986) the cost is about 12,000-20,000 plus the cost of a tax stamp. A civilian AR15 is $800+ for decent model but it's not a true M4 or M16 it's an AR-15 clone or m4gery it's only semi auto.

[comrade86]

I dont understand... There is a guy on youtube who bought one for $500+ no more than 600...??? And its not FA?!

[PeytonManningguy]

M16 is too long lol

[brentfoto]

Great video. Very informative, Appreciated!

[NathanEG217]

I can get a DPMS M4 for $800 $10,000 my ass

[mj2k13]

Where has this video been all my life?! Been looking for a comparison of m16 and m4. Thanks, great vid @GunWebsites

[GunWebsites]

@mj2k13

glad you liked it, these are fun to make

[warriorharris1208]

What? $10,000? Did i hear it right?

[warriorharris1208]

What? $10,000?? Did i hear it right?

[xlxgambitxsx]

@the Australian bloke I know I'm American but I hate it when my cousin says car been like my grandpa even though my brother uses and M4 CAR BINE

[shotgunn9]

i personally use a full stock on my AR-15. For some reason don't care for collapsables

[TheAustralianBloke]

why is it that americans say carbeem or carbeen when its car bine.

[GunWebsites]

@TheAustralianBloke

that is just because you say it wrong

[TheAustralianBloke]

@GunWebsites lol right.

[TheAlexagius]

@GunWebsites the e at the end makes the letter I sound like its alphbetical name so it should be car bine but that dudes a troll he was on another one of your vid saying that, i think it was the m1 vid

[terrerfiedofmyskill]

@TheAustralianBloke i say carbine and im american

[oeyesea]

@TheAustralianBloke because Americans aren't direct descendants of the British. After all, the first Europeans in America were Spanish. We are descendance of many non-English speaking people so some of our vocabulary is going to sound more like a French, German,Spanish than English.

It's too bad you guys can't import Chinese guns. Most AR-15 are pretty pricey anywhere but I just picked up a Chinese-made M4 here in Canada for $675 and I love it! I got the Norinco CQ-A. Good video. Keep up the good work.

[beethovenmetalhead]

my God why did i watch this ?!?! o_0 This vid is for COD kids that don't know anything about firearms............ i guess the video was nice

[GunWebsites]

@beethovenmetalhead

you really think that is who we make videos for?

[beethovenmetalhead]

@GunWebsites nope, your videos are great i just think this one is for rookies =P

[williamED15]

cant you take the stock off on an M16? it just requires time

[hydr0p0nic]

Very Informative. Thanks.

[Arivmario]

Great video!!!



[MrJivePirate]

Awesome help, thanks allot.

[wepntech]

@christang721 "issued" was the key word you missed in that comment i was saying issued weapons not civilian bought weapons there is a difference. military/gov/law.... are usualy "issued a weapon as a tool of there trade, these weapons are not too go shooting trees with they are too do the job and return or buy once decomissioned same as a battleship same as a jet fighter people are able too buy old russian migs but you don't see too many flying the new jf35, (google it). have a god day.

[sikadnerz]

what is carbine?

[GunWebsites]

@sikadnerz

short rifle..

[sniperwarfare97d2nd]

@sikadnerz compact version of a specific firearm.

ex-sig551-556,m4,hk416,g36c

take note that some firearms like the glock 18c can be converted from machine pistol to carbine

ex-cx4 storm,Kel-Tec SUB-2000(uses 9mm round)

[TheAstronomyFreak]

can i download the presentation?

[GunWebsites]

@TheAstronomyFreak

there is a pdf you can have / use, follow link in description

But we would rather you 'embed' the video using the You Tube code if you would like to use it on your website (or whatever)

[tomstef4350]

as of January 2011.. Troops are being issued the M4A1 with a heavier barrel under the forend.. This is part of the M4 improvement and update program.. and is intended to solve the barrel over heating problem troops are incountering in Afganistan with high round count fire fights..

[spam1712]

MOAR

[wepntech]

@christang721 issued weapons are still property of the government or branch they are ordered for until the day they are decomissioned or destroyed, and sold or salvaged. and only policeman are allowed to go home with service weapon (sidearm) for obvious reasons.

[RiverSolitaire]

Fantastic. More videos like this.

[NoClassic]

Very nice graphics and diagrams in this video. Well done.

[TacticalSerenity17]

Marines will always use the M16 for reliability

[GunWebsites]

@TacticalSerenity17

you might want to research that a bit..

[TacticalSerenity17]

@GunWebsites I DONT HAVE TIME TO RESEARCH IT. RAPTURE SON!. lol, no but i just remember reading that marines use the M16, and i know that M16s, and the rifle gas system is a HELL of alot more reliable, so i assumed that they would always use it. Because marines make sense.

[wepntech]

@TacticalSerenity17 it will eventually be replaced or the marines wont exist wichever comes first

[GunWebsites]

@christang721

none of that is correct

[LeonPao]

now make differences between ak 47 and ak 74 and make a video about ah-94 also called an-94. That´d be great, bye

[Breakneckhydra1]

@christang721

Hell no.

Who told you that?

You must be a child.

[Breakneckhydra1]

@christang721

Hell no.

Who told you that?

[jmmurdy]

Nice video

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

the one on the right at 1:25 is what i want my ar15 to look like. plus a bayonet.

[mrkevlar]

thanks again for the info! great work!

[theGreenaffect]

Coudl you tell me the difference between the HK416 and the M4 and M16?

[Primeda]

@theGreenaffect The 416 is basically an attempt to improve the standard Ar-15\M-16. Their basically the same except the 416 uses a short stroke piston system as opposed to the direct gas impingement of the M-16. The upper receivers are interchangeable between the 2.

[Hiluxtaco]

@theGreenaffect The HK416 uses a Gas Piston system to cycle the Bolt Carrier. While the M4/M16 uses a Direct Impingement system.

But there are companies that make Gas Piston Uppers for the AR-15. And, you can get Gas Piston Conversion Kits for the AR-15 too..

[mcekim2]

Probably the most concise & informative comparison that I've seen online - thanks!

[ryanburbridge]

Great vid. Have you done a vid explaining the term "MILSPEC"?

[GunWebsites]

@ryanburbridge

no, I guess we could, thanks for the suggestion

[VapoRTraiL111]

@GoldenRing1989 the cycle is a little sharper on the shorter M4 gas system since its under higher pressure and has a shorter buffer system. But it's really no big deal, my M4 upper on a semi-auto only lower functions as reliably as my 20" AR 5.56 and my 19.5" AR in 6.5G.

[p8ntballer8491]

Great video, very informative. I'm really loving these info videos you've been doing lately. Keep them up, thanks.

[MrColt45acp]

Great video, thanks.

[TheAlexagius]

Can't the m4 be sold to class 3 fll dealers? As a post dealer sample?

[GunWebsites]

@TheAlexagius

only with a letter, so no, not commonly / easily

[buryourdead21]

@TheAlexagius Plus they have to be properly retired from service via US military recovery program.

[1776PatriotTeen]

@TheAlexagius Yea you can or basically you can become a Class 2 FFL/ 7 SOT in order to build one. But you can only keep one for demonstration purposes.

[GunWebsites]

@1776PatriotTeen

that is not true, you need more than that and NO licensed SOT can be in business only for a collection

[1776PatriotTeen]

@GunWebsites I meant one for demonstration purposes basically, which one can do. personally I wouldn't just because of the paperwork. I would much rather just have my transferable M16A2, like I do now, on a trust.

[vashguud]

What's the function of the dual feed ramps?

[p8ntballer8491]

@vashguud I'm guessing to accommodate the staggering of the rounds in the magazine.

[VaanLeonis]

very informational..!

[GregComesInPeace]
