they are bothe very similar but i would have to say the m4 because of higher power and it is used by the military not like the ar-15 which is mostly used by law enforcement. It depends on the m4 though because there is a very wide variation of models of the m4 unlike the ar-15 which is one basic model... there isn't much difference between the m4 carbine and the ar-15

no they are different thing...the ar-15 is not a carbine and is mostly used by law enforcement as the m4 is a carbine used by the military...they look very similar and have a set of things about them that make them hard to tell the difference between them..they also have mostly the same functions and stats as well as rpm, (rounds per minute) power, distance rating, and caliber of bullet...does that help?
