While the M4 carbine is the official service rifle for the US Army in Twilight: 2000 as well as the real world...
The M4 RAS doesn't happen in time and the SOCOM barrel is not standard.
Stats for this are easy because High Tech lists it in this original configuration.
The GURPS stats include the detachable carry handle... 7.3 lb. as listed. But the Army went with the Matech rear sight, which is lighter. 7 lb. with oval handguards, BUIS and no optics.
The listed weight for the M16A4 is all wrong though.
Without the M5 RAS handguards and with A2 handguards and a detachable carry handle it should come to 8.8 lb. With the Matech sight, 8.5 lb., with the KAC 600m sight, 8.4 lb.
While not period correct for Twilight: 2000, an M16A4 with the M5 RAS, detachable handle, some grip panels and vertical grip, 9.6 lb. With Matech rear sight, 9.3 lb. With KAC 600m rear sight 9.2 lb.
They even get the M16A2 weights wrong with the oft-quoted 8.9 lb. I get 8.4 lb.
All fixed now!
All weights include a bog standard, green follower, gray aluminum body USGI 30-round magazine, because Magpul isn't around for T2K.
