MK4

The MK4 Carbine is a 5.56x45mm SDC, air-cooled, gas-operated, direct impingement, magazine-fed, select fire carbine. It has a 14.5 in (370 mm) barrel and a telescoping stock; It is a lighter and shorter variant of the MK16A2 assault rifle.
== Design ==
The MK4 and its variants fire 5.56x45mm SDC (and .223 Striker) ammunition, and are gas-operated, magazine-fed, selective fire firearms with either a multi-position telescoping stock or a fixed A2 or LE tactical stock. The first stock fitted onto the MK4 in 1985 was made entirely of plastic, which only had two positions; fully closed or fully extended. Later models have greater adjustability, and are commonly known as the "six position stock", "MK4 stock", or, because of its design, the "Bulk" stock. The Army uses the waffle stock model.
The Holt MK4 is a smaller version of the MK16 except for it's different modifications, incorporating an adjustable telescopic buttstock for easier use and concealment, a shortened 14.5" Barrel though it makes the 5.56mm SDC round approximately/at least 40% weaker and slower. Though it's not really a problem with good shot placement.
As with many carbines, the MK4 is handy and more convenient to carry than a mid sized rifle or a full-length rifle. The price is highly inferior ballistic performance compared to the full-size MK16, with its 5.5" (14 cm) longer barrel. This becomes most apparent at ranges of 200-450 meters and beyond.
