when did the army switch to the m4?
july 1959
the m4 was officially accepted into service by the u.s. military in 1994, and first saw action in the hands of u.s. troops deployed to kosovo in 1999 in support of the nato-led kfor peacekeeping force. it would subsequently be used heavily by u.s. forces during the global war on terrorism, including operation enduring freedom and operation iraqi freedom. in the u.s. army, the m4 had largely replaced m16a2s as the primary weapon of forward deployed personnel by 2005. the m4 carbine also replaced most submachine guns and selected handguns in u.s. military service, as it fires more effective rifle ammunition that offers superior stopping power and is better able to penetrate modern body armor.
