The Marine Corps tend to use the M16A4 more than Army does, and I think it was mostly Marines there.

In the Marine Corps infantry only Staff NCO's and Officers usually get issued M4s. Elsewhere in the Corps, usually in non-infantry units, they issue M4s to everybody.

The M16A4 is now the standard (Table of Organization and Equipment)TOE issued weapon for Marines E-1 to E-5.

The M4 is now the standard TOE issued weapon for Marines E-6 to O-5.

The M9 pistol is the standard TOE issued weapon for Marines O-6 and up.

Some units such as Marsoc, ANGLICO, Recon BN etc. have M4's as standard T/O weapon.

Not all units have received all of their A4's and M4's so there are some A2's still around.

I would rather have an COLT or FN M16A4 over an COLT M4 for battle. And I own both.

Yep, I agree with you on that Colt.
