Military Tuesday : M4 Carbine Accessories


Image from Impact Guns.

I did know that the M4 SOPMOD could be configured with different accessories depending on the mission type but I didn’t know there were so many options … 5 different sound suppressors and a mind-boggling array of sights, scopes, stocks, grips and tactical lights. See below:

Orginally found this from Google Image Search and then traced it to a certain Mr Mark Fingar who has produced a wonderfully laid out poster of the M4 and accessories. The poster is 18″ x 24″ (457 x 609mm or slightly larger than A2) and costs 12 USD + 3 USD shipping (seems to be for US only).

You can view the sample poster at 770×1024 resolution as well as close-up shots of the actual poster from this AR15.com forum thread.

UPDATE (02/10/2007): Steve of The Firearm Blog has found Mark’s official site which contains an exhaustive list of all items featured in the poster as well as updated pricing and shipping charges. More @ The Firearm Blog.

On a separate note, I also saw two illustrated prints of the M4 and associated accessories over at Dogfight Ink at USD 49.95 excluding shipping.

    Can you have a gun with everything like a sight, a scope, a stock, grips and tactical lights?

    I think it’s possible because I seen them in photos before – for extreme examples check this link :)

    The M-4 has a shorter barrel and a collapsable stock.

    the M4 is the best weapon to use. just my opinion.especially in games like call of cuty 4.and in the military.its better than an M16 because an M16 is burst fire and an M4 is fully automatic.

    brandong, just because a weapon is fully automatic doesn’t make it better. The M-16 has much less recoil than an M4 because of the burst fire, making it more accurate. Personally I prefer an M4 over an M-16 because it has very little recoil for a fully automatic gun.
