ARE THE MOD'S TO THE M4 REALLY WORTH THE HYPE?

The M4 is a decent weapon. I would not spend a lot of money on improving one though. I say we should change over to the G36

Going back to a full auto trigger was smart. More consistent trigger pull. I would have converted the entire inventory to a short-stroke piston.

The full auto upgrade seems like a good idea. I've always had the opinion that if you're in a situation where you need to use the three round burst option, you probably need more than a three round burst to extricate yourself from that situation. That and the mechanism for counting the three round burst on the old rifles was faulty, because if you fired a three round burst with two rounds in the magazine and reloaded, your next three round burst would contain one round. Also I'm sure that the heavy barrel and improved trigger pull provided by simplifying the mechanism will be welcome improvements. So it's probably not the rifle everybody was hoping for (short-stroke gas piston), but its probably the best outcome we could have expected from the get go.

The real benefit of the MWO is the ambidextrous selector switch and heavy barrel. The trigger is of little consequence and is not improved over the current one in any way.
