My son is a Marine combat engineer attached to an Infantry unit and they all carry M4s. When they rotated through the middle east (training only), they carried M4A1s with supressors, but turned then in for standard M4s upon return.

Excellent thread, OP.
Watching this for interest chiefly to see who might still have A4s.

Does it matter? Everyone is going to be getting HK M27 boat anchors soon.

But...but...they are only a little over 2× the price of an M4 provided by FNs contract bid...and heavier...with more fiddly bits to get lost by Smuckatelli...Originally Posted by vicious_cb

Heckler & Koch called Marines 'crayon eaters' in a viral post telling them not to break their new rifles

Serious concern to me is that the Marine Corps Gunners will let personal feelings override other aspects. I think an example of might be the MARSOC 1911 (remember the hype?) how much did that cost, and where are those pistols now?
The Marine Corps has authorized MARSOC operators to carry Glock pistols, since many of the elite outfit's members prefer the popular 9mm over the custom .45 pistols the service bought them in 2012.
The Corps issued a Feb. 2 Marine Administrative Message, or MARADMIN, that green-lighted Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, or MARSOC, units to use the Glock 19, a proven design used by many units in U.S. Special Operations Command.
At roughly 1/5th the size of the Army, crusty old Marines hold a lot more sway.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
