The M4 which was to replace the M16 is smaller, has a shorter range but it's the same round, which is really not as lethal as you think, which someone mentioned above, but if you know anything about combat... you shoot someone and he doesn't die it takes 3 men on average to lift him out of the area... so instead of killing one you took out 4 from the fight... wounding someone is almost always better.
