Why did the Military change from the lite up the handguards to the Medium SOCOM ,RO9777 under the handguards? What does it do to help out the M4A1? Sorry for the dumb questions, I would like to know.

Under prolonged full auto fire, the barrel was known to rupture right behind the FSB. There are pictures on here of about 7-8 DPMS 4140 non-chrome lined barrels that had undergone similar fire conditions in an experiment. The extra metal helped to prevent this.
I'll try to look for the pictures, but I don't know if I can find them. |

 I tried looking for the thread about the DPMS full auto test fire by Denny of Global Tactical and can't find it, but I saved one of the photos. |
