Above you can see a U.S. Marine with the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, assigned to the Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force – Crisis Response – Central Command 20.2, as he fires his M4 Carbine.

I wonder how many, percentage, of Marines are still using the M4 carbine. It seems that many of the images we see of Marines training they have the M4.

  @Kivaari Surprised they're not using M16A3s.

  @Brett baker M16a3 was only a navy thing, and the m16a4s was mostly phased out
