This is debatable, depending on your intended use of the firearm. However, the M4 carbine has many improvements over the CAR-15. For instance, the M4 has a fatter handguard to keep the user's hands further away from the barrel, which heats up rapidly during sustained fire. Conversely, this handguard is also too large for the majority of users. The M4 carbine also has a 20 millimeter accessory rail for the attachment of optics, something the CAR-15 requires an adapter for. Finally, the M4 has an LE stock that has two more positions and is more comfortable than the four-position stock found on the CAR-15.
The M4 CARBINE IS BETTER THAN THE M16.
It all depends of the company making it. A Tokyo Marui M1A1 Thompson would be better than a cheap Wal-Mart M4. But a Classic Army M4 would be better than a CYMA M1A1 Thompson.
m4 <><><> You would have to define better. The M4 has a greater range, the AK a heavier bullet, the M4 a faster bullet, you can carry more ammo for an M4, the AK needs less maintenance, the M4 has a higher rate of fire- and so on.
Most airsoft battles take place in close quarters which is what the m4 was made for. Unlike the m16 which was made for longer ranges
The AK 47 Is Better Then m4
The G&G Combat Machine M4 is the best
Many different companies make Airsoft mac 11 and m4's. However, the M4 models are generally a better all purpose weapon, where the mac 11 is only good for very very close quarters combat.
They are not the same. The M4A1 was first issued to U.S troops in 1997. It is more reliable than the M4 and has a fully automatic fire capability.
Depends on intended use.
Both guns are very excellent guns, but it just depends on the situation. If your in confined spaces, the m4 would be better due to its compactness; but if your outside, the m16 would be better due to its accuracy. Overall, I think the m16 is better, but that's just my opinion. Besides, there are better guns than the m16 series such as the m468 with its heavier round, and the scar with its interchangability between the 556 round and the 762 round.
The M16 assault rifle has a greater range than the M4 carbine as a result of its 20-inch barrel, compared with 14.5 for the M4. The M16 can hit an area target out to 800 meters while the M4 is effective to 600 meters.
An M4 carbine would be better under almost all circumstances. It is lighter, more accurate at range (Assuming both have their stock sights), and more controllable in full auto mode. However, the AK47 is a cold war-era weapon while the M4A1 are much more modern. A more debatable and relevant question would be "Which is better, an M4 or an AK74?"
