Is The Extra Length Worth It

Since I have T2K on the brain, I was wondering if it was better to take an M4 or and M16A4.

Both guns are different from the present day's versions.

No RAS on either.

Both accept the same optics.

The M4 will have the earlier lighter barrel.

The M4 loses a bit of damage vs the A4.  4d+2 pi vs 5d pi.  That's 4-26 avg 16 against 5-30 avg 17.5.

The M4 loses some reach.  750/2,900 vs 800/3,500.

The M4 is lighter.  7.3 lb. vs 8.9 lb.

The M4 has less Bulk.  4 vs 5.

The M4 costs more.  $950 vs $850.

So the M4 does 91% the average damage per shot at 94%/83% the range for 82% the mass for 80% the bulk for 112% the money.

Looks like the M4 wins the min/max fight with the M16A4.
