A misunderstood weapon

I present to you, the most wide-spread firearm in modern first-person shooters:

The M4A1 carbine.



Yes, folks, this is the gun any counter strike nut would instantly recognize, yet it's a shame some people do NOT know the real characteristics of this highly prolific weapon. I have friends who have played counter strike for ages, and when I tell them, "Hey, I think the M4 is better for you", they ask, "Huh, whats that?". That's just sad, thinking the gun is really called "carbine" If you are all hardcore over a game, why don't you learn something about it instead of just playing it?

Alrighty, here are some hard facts for the hard skulled...

-The m4a1 carbine has fully automatic and semi-auto firing modes, unlike the full-auto capabilities you often see.

-As you might already know, this weapon can be modified to incorporate a scope, grenade launcher or another attachment. This is a contrast to the plain jane m4s you commonly see.

-The gun is not called the "carbine". A carbine is a shortened and "nerfed" version of a main weapon. This gives it better maneuverability in the tight urban combat environments at the cost of power. The m4a1 carbine is a firearm designed from the late m16a2 assault rifle, which wasn't so hot as a weapon.

Hope this will bring awake our disillusioned trigger-happy friends.
