Looks like a 16" barrel. Not military issue. In my experience the more one touts the weapon, the lower the quality. I have a mall ninja buddy who swears he's special forces.
uuuummmm
What is Military Grade?
I am going to be nice, this forum requires a thick skin, and I think you probably joined here just to prove your friend wrong and don't have much interest in firearms/M4.
If you mean MilSpec, it is quite possible that the M4rgery in your friends hands is quite possibly an actual M4 if it is manufactured by Colt or FN and has a fully auto shot selector. Meaning whoever owns the rifle has to have the correct papers, or the gun is illegal in the United States.
But it is completely possible, as you will find just browsing this forum to own a firearm that is up to MilSpec in all areas (minus the shot selector) as a civilian in the United States. Minus the barrel on my M4rgery, my rifle is MilSpec. Does that mean it's "military grade", not to me, maybe to your friend though.
It could be a high quality Civilian version of an M4 (16" barrel vs 14.5" and semi auto), depending on who manufactured it and where the parts came from.
Of course we have no way of knowing from that pic. But it is not a true military M4 as it not a 14.5 incher and almost certainly not a select fire rifle.
I need to see a uncropped picture of the girl holding the gun to make a informed decission.
It's not select fire? she told me it had burst, but I was skeptic. I couldnt tell from the image.
she claims to have obtained it through special permission and training because she has gangs after her. I just wanted to know what kind of gun it was and if it had burst like she said it does.

Um........ No.
Not in America.
I see. Well thankgs for the help, guys. I'll come back when I have the money to get into this hobby. I DO have an interest. but as a 21 year old college student who can barely make enough to support myself, firearms kinda had to be put on "hiatus" until I can afford the hobby.
Pardon my ignorance... Just wanted to know what type of gun that was and if anyone could tell if it was select fire
Real quick before this thing gets too silly.
If she is the actual owner then there is something wrong as she is only 17. The rail system appears to be a YHM.
Tell here to take a picture of the lower receiver where the selector lever is located. Regardless of what "gang" fantasy she has, you have to be of legal age to own an NFA item.
Bottom line she is full of shit and I wouldn't waste my time trying to disprove her claims.

Thanks again for the help. I'll come back when I have decent knowledge of this and am ready to own a firearm of my own.
