quoraにあるHow does the US military perform the manual of arms with an M4? Or do they only use the M16?という質問の回答では
The only difference is at Order Arms, where you hold the M4 in your right arm by the buttstock vs resting the buttstock on the ground and holding it by the barrel.
「違いとしてはorder arms(立て銃)はM4は銃床を右手で保持するのに対し、M16では銃床を地面に置き手でバレルを保持する」とある
