The end of the barrel has a flash suppressor on it. This reduces the visibility of the weapon when fired at night (but does not eliminate it!) and is designed to help stabilize the weapon.

What is the difference between an m16 and an m4a1?
Not really too much to tell. The M16 has a longer barrel, and the projectiles will leave the barrel with greater velocity for it. The M4 has the collapsible buttstock and 14.5 inch barrel, so it would be the easier of the two to utilise in urban terrain and such. The M16's longer gas system is the more reliable of the two, and the muzzle flash and noise of the M16 is reduced. The operating mechanism is the exact same, except that the M4 and M16 won't use the same return spring or buffer.

Is a m16 different than a m4 carbine?
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.
