Template:Weapon Box

M4-A1 is a type of weapon in DayZ Standalone.

The M4 carbine is a family of firearms that was derived from earlier carbine versions of the M16 rifle, which was in turn derived from the original AR-15 rifle that Eugene Stoner designed and ArmaLite made. The M4 is a shorter and lighter variant of the M16A2 assault rifle, with 80% parts commonality. It is a common military weapon which can be found in military installations and buildings throughout Chernarus.

The M4A1 employs the use of 5.56 NATO ammunition.
