A flash suppressor is intended to dissipate muzzle flash so as not to hamper the firer's vision in low light conditions.

Sometimes, a muzzle brake is mistaken for a flash suppressor. A muzzle brake vents gases from the barrel in a direction intended to counter the recoil of the weapon, thus making it more controllable. However, a flash suppressor does not function as a muzzle brake, nor does a muzzle brake function as a flash suppressor.

What is the difference between the M4 Carbine M4A1 and CAR 15?

CAR-15 is a commercial marketing name coined by Colt. The original CAR-15s were simply shortened versions of the M16A1, and tended to be a bit problematic. The M4 was a revamped version of the CAR-15 models ordered by the US military (namely, the XM177). The receivers were based on the M16A2, rather than the earlier M16A1 receivers, extended feed ramps were added to reduce failure to feed stoppages, a 14.5 inch barrel with a standard flash suppressor was chosen in place of the 10 inch barrel and long flash suppressor used by the XM177, and there were some other improvements. Being designed in conjunction with the M16A2, the M4 has the same three round burst limitation as the M16A2. The M4A1 is more the same as the regular M4, except it is capable of true full auto fire.


Where did the M4 carbine originate?

In the United States. It's origins lie in the problematic XM-177 carbine. Replacing the 10 inch barrel and bulbous flash suppressor with a 14.5 inch barrel rectified some of the problems, then the special operations community was asked for their input into improving further on that. So the new rifle was built on A2 receivers, and had some new features, such as the extended feed ramps requested by the special ops community.
