Yes. Principle differences between the M16 and M4 include: M16 has a 20 inch barrel while the M4 has 14.5 inch barrel, M16 has a fixed buttstock while the M4 has a retractable six-position buttstock. Virtually all M4s have a 20 millimeter accessory rail, while only M16s after the A3 variant have the rail. The M4 carbine also has a stepdown in the barrel to accommodate the M203 grenade launcher due to its thicker barrel profile. Performance-wise, the M4 is also less accurate at range due to its shorter barrel, but is easier to maneuver in cramped environments.
The M4 is a shorter version of the M16 rifle, which is the military designation of the Armalite Rifle. Eugene Stoner is generally credited with the creation of the Armalite.
