The M4 was made to fire 5.56mm which allowed the military to keep using the same rounds as the M16. However, the M4 was made shorter and lighter to allow for close quarters combat while providing the right amount of firepower. This was requested by SOCOM units as most of their operations involve CQB. It was also given a telescopic stock to allow the user to adjust it for their stature. The A1 variant allows for full auto firing, unlike the regular M4 which only has semi-auto and 3-round burst.

Which boyi dboys gun do you recommend full metal m4a1 or full metal s system?

They're both almost equal in quality (fps, material, accuracy) but if you want government issue style airsoft AEG, you can go with M4A1. They're wider in use. You can reenact as SWAT, US Military (all elements including Special Forces), and also PMCs (Private Military Contractor). M4S-System is definitely looks cooler. It looks hefty. The only problem is that in the real world M4S-System is actually M4A1 that use A.R.M.S. SIR (Selective Integrated Rail) System (perhaps A5 model). M4A1 combined with A.R.M.S. SIR widely used by civilans, and also gains it popularity among PMCs. It also have limited use in law enforcement (SWAT). But recent news shows that A.R.M.S. SIR is being use with REC7 (formerly known as the M468), an upgrade to the M16/M4. The REC7 is manufactured by Barrett Firearms Company. REC7 is now entering the service in US Military. I also hear that M4A1 with A.R.M.S SIR is also being used by 1st SFOD-D (Delta Force). So which one will you choose? It's up to you. I hope this answer can help.
