I'd give you a million dollars to give me some of those with Helghan type carry handle optics >_>

In all honesty, I'd suggest maybe doing that with like a 1.5x Magnification ... do like the Austrians did.

SpecterDR sights require 70mm of eye relief, and I think the system is generally too short to accept a full-size carry handle, I'm afraid.
I may look into it however.

What's the maximum range(And by this, I mean the point where the bullet falls to the ground) for the M4?
And also, is the L85 superior to the M4?

I have seen some 2x optics out there that were only a bit longer than a normal Aimpoint ... Trying to think what those were.

For the first question, that will never really be useful and it depends on the angle you fire it.
For the second, yes, very much so.

The first part was because some guy claimed with "experience" claimed that the M4 could accurately hit targets up to 800 meters away.
As for the second, an M4 fanboy refused to believe that a bullpup AR-18 was better than the M4.

I would think that if we counted the customizablity of the M4 or AR-15 series, we could say that M4/AR is better. I'd want my soldiers to augment their weapons for their own purposes (Just got to let them know that if they augment a certain part that logistics won't help get a new one).

The effective range is maybe 500m; by 800m you're just hoping to hit. The bullet won't hit the ground quite that fast, though. At least, I doubt it will.
Well, they're wrong and can sleep in a trench.

My apologies.

Basically we we foresaw that a devastating nuclear war would happen sooner than later,and seeing as the United States was already building a series of bunkers we took one in Nevada and filled it with everything we could conceivably need in a post apocalyptic world. When the end finally came on October 23 2077 we shut the door for two hundred years. However everything didn't go as planned and parts of the bunker flooded or caved in a the supplies degraded much faster that though possible. So yes our logistics are godawful.

I assume that means you don't have a formal military, then, in which case the collection of weapons is basically just because it was at-hand.

Bullpup rifles in general are superior to traditional carbines in terms of ballistics. Provided they are the same caliber.

No amount of customization will fix the problem that it's gas system is prone to overheating even in normal situations and that it needs to be cleaned after every damn firefight.

Seriously, customization shouldn't be an issue unless your military is spec-ops heavy.

There isn't much useful you can add to an M4 than you can't add to an L85.

So... A widespread use SOPMOD kit?
The only way to make an M4 good is to not use STANAGs, lubricate it frequently, and only use one of the newer, better 5.56mm rounds, such as M855A1.
