Line 11:		Line 11:
	The [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine\|M4A1 Carbine]] is the main rifle used by the United States Marines of First Recon in the miniseries, including Sergeant Brad 'Iceman' Colbert ([[Alexander Skarsgård]]) and Corporal Josh Ray Person ([[James Ransone]]). The M4s seen in the series all have UTG full quad rails (as opposed to KAC quad rails handguard, used by the real-life Recon Marines), A1 tear drop forward assist buttons as opposed to the A2 rounded buttons on factory M4s and 6 position M4 LE buttstocks (which isn't inaccurate but also not as common then) instead of the original CAR 4 position stock ubiquitous to the Marines at the time. Most of the Marines' M4s have no additional accessories, while the team leaders all have M4s fitted with [[M203]] grenade launchers and AN/PAQ-4 infrared laser designators (in real life, the AN/PEQ-2 was used by the Recon Marines instead, which is why the show's dialogue makes reference to the PEQ-2 batteries). Sgt. Colbert's M4, which is the most unique of the M4 Carbines in the series, sports an AN/PVS-17 night sight (sometimes replaced with an ACOG scope), a M203 grenade launcher, UTG rail covers, PAQ-4 laser module, and an ERGO grip. Colbert appears to be the only Recon Marine whose M4 is fitted with optics, rather than the standard carry handle/iron sights. Sgt. [[Rudy Reyes]] carries an M4 with a UTG vertical foregrip and a PAQ-4; he is the only Marine who isn't a team leader and gets a PAQ-4, and also the only Marine whose M4 has a vertical foregrip. Also note that with the exception of some officers, First Recon are the only Marines to carry the M4A1 as standard issue; probably the result of a need for a lighter weapon that's easier to carry in cramped Humvees. It should also be noted that they are seen quoting and handling AAA batteries for their laser sights and night vision, when in reality, the AN/PAQ-4s and AN/PVS-7s use AA batteries. Also for some reason, their M4s are using chrome bolt carriers, even though the particalised bolt carriers had been used in the M16A1 (and its successors) since its adoption in 1967.

The M4s seen in the series all have UTG full quad rails (as opposed to KAC quad rails handguard, used by the real-life Recon Marines), A1 tear drop forward assist buttons as opposed to the A2 rounded buttons on factory M4s and 6 position M4 LE buttstocks (which isn't inaccurate but also not as common then) instead of the original CAR 4 position stock ubiquitous to the Marines at the time. Most of the Marines' M4s have no additional accessories, while the team leaders all have M4s fitted with [[M203]] grenade launchers and AN/PAQ-4 infrared laser designators (in real life, the AN/PEQ-2 was used by the Recon Marines instead, which is why the show's dialogue makes reference to the PEQ-2 batteries). Sgt. Colbert's M4, which is the most unique of the M4 Carbines in the series, sports an AN/PVS-17 night sight (sometimes replaced with an ACOG scope), a M203 grenade launcher, UTG rail covers, PAQ-4 laser module, and an ERGO grip. Colbert appears to be the only Recon Marine whose M4 is fitted with optics, rather than the standard carry handle/iron sights. Sgt. [[Rudy Reyes]] carries an M4 with a UTG vertical foregrip and a PAQ-4; he is the only Marine who isn't a team leader and gets a PAQ-4, and also the only Marine whose M4 has a vertical foregrip. Also note that with the exception of some officers, First Recon are the only Marines to carry the M4A1 as standard issue; probably the result of a need for a lighter weapon that's easier to carry in cramped Humvees. It should also be noted that they are seen quoting and handling AAA batteries for their laser sights and night vision, when in reality, the AN/PAQ-4s and AN/PVS-7s use AA batteries. Also for some reason, their M4s are using chrome bolt carriers, even though the particalised bolt carriers had been used in the M16A1 (and its successors) since its adoption in 1967.		The [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine\|M4A1 Carbine]] is the main rifle used by the United States Marines of First Recon in the miniseries, including Sergeant Brad 'Iceman' Colbert ([[Alexander Skarsgård]]) and Corporal Josh Ray Person ([[James Ransone]]).
