The M4 Rifle is an American assault rifle featured in Homefront. The M4 is the standard issue assault rifle for the US Army.

Description[]

The main assault rifle for the U.S. Armed Forces. High rate-of-fire and low recoil make it a balanced choice for outdoor and close-quarters combat.

Single-Player[]

The M4 is the main assault rifle of the United States Armed Forces, and is also used by the Korean People's Army. It is encountered in every mission, except Overwatch. Unlike it's multiplayer version, it can be found in both 20 and 30 round configurations.

Multiplayer[]

In multiplayer, the M4 is unlocked by default, with moderate damage, high rate of fire, excellent accuracy, high range, quick reload speed, and a large ammo count. The M4 can be painted with any of the Camouflage Patterns and allows for the use of every attachment possible, excluding the Sniper Scope.

The M4 is meant to be the benchmark all-rounder for the game. The high rate of fire means it can burn through all of its ammo quickly without hitting a thing, but with proper trigger discipline and aim it can be incredibly effective.

Trivia[]

  • Both Hopper Lee and Connor Morgan use the M4 as their main weapon of choice.
  • The name "M4 Rifle" is inaccurate in two regards as the M4 series are carbines rather than full length rifles, and all the M4 Rifles are shown to be fully automatic, making them M4A1s. Original M4s have a burst-fire mode rather than full auto.
  • There is a possibility that the M4 rifles used by the KPA may not be actual American made M4A1s but the Chinese made version, the Norinco CQ Type A since they already bought Chinese military equipment (such as T3AK (QBZ-03) rifles, T-99 tanks and Z-10 attack helicopters). And knowing the tensions that existed between the two countries before the war, it is unlikely that the US government would have agreed to supply the GKR with large quantities of American weapons of any kind.
    • The idea that the M4s seen in game are CQ Type As is unlikely as all M4 rifles have "Blue4" meaning Blue Forces or United States Army marked on their receivers. However, since most of the enemy soldiers the player faces throughout the game are rear guard troops and police forces tasked with pacifying the conquered territories, their weapons could be captured American weapons re-issued to the rear guard while CQ Type As are reserved for front-line troops and elite units such as the 718 Division.
  • Strangely, all but two singleplayer M4s have 20 round magazine capacities, despite the magazines looking identical to standard 30 round STANAG magazines. One is an M4 located in a Resistance armory, and another located on the Golden Gate Bridge, on a crate behind two sentry gun towers.
