The
M4/M4A1 5.56mm Carbine is a lightweight,
gas operated, air cooled, magazine fed,
selective rate, shoulder fired weapon
with a collapsible stock. A shortened
variant of the M16A2 rifle, the M4
provides the individual soldier operating
in close quarters the capability to
engage targets at extended range with
accurate, lethal fire. The M4 Carbine
achieves over 80% commonality with the
M16A2 Rifle and will replace all M3 .45
caliber submachine guns and selected M9
pistols and M16 rifle series. Time has showed that the
M4 has some flaws. First of all, the
shorter barrel commands the lower bullet
velocities, and this significantly
decreased the effective range of the
5.56mm bullet. Second, the M4 barrel and
the forend rapidly overheats. Third, the
shortened barrel resulted in the
shortened gas system, which works under
greater pressures, than in M16A2 rifle.
This increases the rate of fire and
produces more stress on the moving parts,
decreasing the reliability. While
adequate as a Personal Defense Weapon for
the non-infantry troops (vehicle crews,
clerks, staff officers etc), M4 is, by
some accounts, less than ideal for the
Special Operations troops, at least in
its present state.

The direct gas
system uses no conventional gas piston
and rod to propel bolt group back after
the shot is fired. Instead, the hot
powder gases are fed from the barrel and
down to the stainless steel tube into the
receiver. Inside the receiver, the rear
end of the gas tube enters into the
"gas key", a small attachment
on the top of the bolt carrier. The
hot gases, through the gas key, enter the
hollow cavity inside the bolt carrier,
and expands there, acting against the
bolt carrier and the collar around the
bolt body. The pressure of the gases
causes the bolt carrier to move back
against initially stationary bolt. The
linear rearward movement of the carrier
initially transferred into the rotation
of the bolt, via the cam slot in the bolt
carrier and the cam pin, attached to the
bolt, that followed the slot. As soon as
the bolt is rotated to unlock from the
barrel, the bolt group continues its
rearward travel under the inertia and the
residual pressure in the barrel,
extracting the spent case and compressing
the buffer return spring, located in the
buttstock. The forward movement of the
bolt group first strips the fresh
cartridge from the magazine and, on the
final stage of the movement, rotates the
bolt to lock into the barrel extension. -(Shortened
