::::Here's what I know for sure about the 'M-4' seen in the III-era games. It's an AR-15 pattern rifle of some sort, a carbine, with a short barrel and full auto capability. It's not an M4, however; firstly, because both Vice City and San Andreas predate the introduction of the M4, and secondly, because the M4 has a longer barrel (The M4's barrel is 14.5 inches long, but that of the one in the games is a few inches shorter than that). Anyway, put all that together and the logical conclusion is the 'M-4' in the III-era games is actually one of many variants of the Colt Commando short barreled carbine, perhaps a Colt M733 like [http://www.imfdb.org/images/8/8f/Colt_Model_733.jpg this one]. The weapon in GTA IV is an M4A1 (not to be confused with the M4, which is its much less common predecessor with the single shot and 3-round burst trigger groups of the M16A2) with carry handle removed and an unusual H&K style stick-up rear sight. --[[User:MattyDienhoff|'''<font color="midnightblue">MattyDienhoff</font>''']] <sup>«[[User_talk:MattyDienhoff|<font color="lightslategrey">talk</font>]]»</sup> 01:24, 10 June 2009 (UTC) | ::::Here's what I know for sure about the 'M-4' seen in the III-era games.

:::::According to the weapons page, the "M4" seen in San Andreas is really a Colt Model 733 Port Firing Weapon. I think it was made for easier firing out of APC machinegun ports, hence the name.
