I know there are those die hard M4 fans who believe it is iconic I feel to a fault. This is an intensive cleaning heavy weapon that would not serve a soldier isolated and on an E&E or an ODA that is running out of cleaning supplies we need to knock on wood we aren't in a fight with anyone powerful enough to shut down or make logistics impossible.

In the time I have been in Group I have never seen an M4 get coded or deadlined. Honestly, I have not. I have seen 3 or 4 M9's go down on one range and we constantly have one or two with the armorer. But never an M4. As much as I wish we had 12 SCAR-Hs on the team, I can't hate on the M4A1. Never failed me.
