The M4A1 carbine is the primary weapon used by SEAL operators. A shorter, more compact version of the M16A2 rifle, it was specially designed for U.S. Special Operations Forces. In 1994, U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the Navy developed the Special Operations Peculiar (SOPMOD) M4A1 Accessory Kit to make this weapon exceptional in versatility, lethality, and effectiveness. The M4A1 is a high-tech, multiple-use assault rifle that can be configured by the operator with multiple combinations of advanced optics, lasers and lighting systems for rapid and accurate target acquisition in daylight or at night. It fires in both semi- and automatic modes, and is effective for both close-in engagements and long-range targets. The M4A1 excels in Close Quarters Battle and Counterterrorist operations. It fires a high-velocity 5.56mm round, essential when taking on terrorists wearing body armor or bullet-proof vests. This rifle can also be quickly and easily converted to a grenade launcher or shotgun.

Future Version

2005-2010 Integrated Carbine – The SOPMOD Block 3 upgrade will result in a more streamlined version of the M4A1 Carbine, designated the Integrated Carbine. It will incorporate all of the refinements for the M4A1 carbine by getting the optics and lasers off the weapon and into the weapon itself, and it will provide a thermal sighting device. Mode switches and buttons will be integrated into the vertical grip to activate lasers, thermal and other sights, and visible light. The thermal sighting component might very well have the ability to be linked to Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS).
