First Impressions:
The box the M4A1 comes in is very nice looking, in the middle of the box is the name M4A1 Carbine in big white letters and to the left there is a Navy Seals symbol with the quotations, "So you want to be a frogman?" . On my initial inspection of the M4A1 I found several trademarks, two on the receiver that say PROPERTY OF U.S GOVT. M4A1 CARBINE CAL. 5.56 MM. M330497 and COLT'S FIREARMS DIVISION COLT INDUSTRIES HARTFORD , CONN. U.S.A. Another trademark I found was on the outer barrel that says 5.56 NATO 1/7. The M4A1 has several nice features such as the detachable carry handle with the weaver mount underneath and the four position retractable stock. The other features the M4A1 has is the charging handle, the forward assist knob, and the bolt release. While the charging handle is used to uncover the Hop-Up mechanism inside the bolt, the forward assist knob and the bolt release are purely for looks and serve no real purpose other than to make the Tokyo Marui M4A1 look more like its real steel counterpart.


Performance:
Before I decided to purchase the M4A1 I read every review I could find. All the reviews I found had one thing in common, they all said the M4A1 was accurate, so I knew the M4A1 was going to be accurate but when I first fired my M4A1 I quickly found out that saying the M4A1 is accurate was an understatement. The M4A1 was more accurate than I expected, from about 50 feet away firing in semi auto mode I consistantly got about 2 inch groupings. In full auto mode I got about 3 inch groupings.
I've had my M4A1 for about a year now and the only problem i've encountered was, occasionally while firing in semi auto mode the trigger somehow gets stuck like if it was in safe mode, but the problem is easily fixed by flipping the selector switch over to full auto mode and firing off a few rounds. Other than that problem the Tokyo Marui M4A1 is a great weapon.

Another review I found for TM M4A1

M4A1 (model 4, advanced 1) TM

First opinion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I received this airsoft gun from www.airsoftextreme.com and I can recommend them although they have a slow processing time. Ok ill get to the review
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The looks and detail
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On this gun are good nothing short of standard TM quality all trademarks look to be intact as are on the U.S. army M4A1. Unfortunately the company I bought it from marked out all of my trademarks. One thing that irritated me about this gun is that the select fire switch when looked at from the right side always indicates semi automatic. The fastest thing on my gun to go was the paint on the select fire and the stock slide, took 2 days for that to go. Another thing about this gun is the charging handle, this works just like the real version as when is pulled back the shell ejection port is revealed, I thought this was a VERY realistic gun. The weight on this is much more then I had expected from this AEG enough to deal with but not light enough to become unrealistic. Overall this section was pretty good, very few flaws in the TM design.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROF, accuracy, and volume.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This gun has a nice ROF, I have fired a P90 TR which cases the same motor as the M4 and I must say that the M4 seems to fire faster. I hated firing the P90 TR on full but the M4 is much fun and more fulfilling. I had already mentioned the dust cover so ill move on to the caring handle, this can be removed like any scope to reveal a standard waver mount to fit scopes, lasers, RDS, and such. The M4A1 comes with a counter clockwise thread for adding silencer, which is very nice to have. This gun has a flat top for adds with scope like I said BUT I’m not sure if the front iron sight comes off so makes this basically useless (update, the iron sites in front do flip upside down, this works well as a lower budget set up, however does not look the best). This gun has a very loud fire when fired dry or full, if you are into quiet id suggest a AUG or maybe a P90 or something, I have yet to test this weapon with a silencer but will soon. people seem to have something ageist the pistol grip of this weapon, “squeaky and flexes” this is untrue unless you try and make it do this then it does some. The one thing that the M4 does have that I don’t like is a wobbly heat guard but is not a big issue to deal with, the so called barrel wobble is not nearly as bad as it sounds and with a few screws it’s a easy fix, also unless you TRY and bend it, it goes not place.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accuracy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This gun is pretty accurate. I have to say that most airsoft guns AUG-M4 are the same accuracy almost. My P90 has the same as the M4 and the AUG has the M4 like I said. The range is basic AEG range, 110-150 ft accuracy rates the same 50-100 ft. the gun in this part is same as any other AEG although the sound alone is intimidating.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a good gun that I hated at first but now like. It’s really pushing me to want a M16vn. For the money it’s a little high but good none the less. Id rec. this gun to a lot of people but if you want to be a outcast id defiantly tell you to get the AUG series. ROF 9-10 great ROF, the ROF may not be any different from the others but it defiantly sounds like it’s pushing them out faster then the FAMAS.
Accuracy 7-10 Not bad accuracy it’s the same as the P90, MP5 or any mid range gun.
Range 8-10 range is pretty good id say, its also the same as the MP5, P90 exe.
Looks and detail 7-10 Nice look and colors, I love the heat guard, sad that the triads were sand blasted away.

Sirs,

Here's one for CA M15A4:

Armalite M15A4 Review

A Step Beyond TM M16 Tactical Carbine?
Classic Army was known as an OEM company for Systema parts and TM aftermarket parts. They had managed to come up with several M16 Tactical Carbine style automatic electric guns in the past, but they were well known as poor quality knock off of Tokyo Marui system M16 Tactical Carbine A.E.G.s. After several attempts of improvement, this CA/ArmaLite M15A4 is their latest benchmark of improving their credibility and quality of works. Now, lets get right to it.
Weight 2737.0g
Barrel Length 363mm
Barrel Caliber 6.08mm
Bullet Capacity 300
Bullet 6mm BB
Initial Bullet Speed 85-95 m/sec or 280.5 - 313.5 fps
Battery Type Mini Type (8.4V) or 12V 1500mAH












The Armalite M15A4 sports a black finish, laser engraving Armalite logo, and a running serial number. The finish is quite nice compared with their older versions. It featured a detachable metal carrying handle. Unlike the TM plastic body, this metal cast body feels much more solid than the ABS plastic (and there is no ugly burn off from the destroyed trademarks)

TM M16 Tactical Carbine features a 3 sections outer barrel and secured together by 6 small hex screws. Those combination equals a infamous barrel wobble for the TM M16 Tactical Carbine. The ArmaLite M15A4 features a one piece barrel secured on the metal frame body. That certainly resolved the barrel wobble problem. M15A4 also sports improved material of Hand Grip, Hand Guard and Retractable Stock.



New M15A4 features a one piece metal hop up unit. This will correct the miss feeding of TM M16 Tactical Carbine' two piece hop up unit. The new hop bucking rubber is made from a tougher material.




M15A4 features a reinforced gearbox , it is much tougher than the TM stock gearbox. It also has the reinforced steel gears that can handle spring upgraded up to Systema M130 Spring.

The CA spring is shorter than the TM stock spring, but the gun shoots around 340fps. A stock M15A4 is good enough for woodland battles and CQB situations.

The M15A4 also has reinforced piston and piston head preinstalled in it. The new piston head will make the movement of the piston unit a lot faster.



Classic Army finally came out with their own motor. The older M16 Tactical Carbine and Mp5 series CA guns used to use TM EG1000 motor. The Classic Army claim it is a high torque and high power motor. The Rate of Fire is also comparable with TM EG1000 motor. The motor head is removable just like Systema Brand Motor. The Motor plate acts like the heat sink for the motor (same as Systema Brand M16 motor plate)


Overall, we find this gun is a better deal than the TM M16 Tactical Carbine. You are paying a bit more than the stock TM M16 Tactical Carbine, but you are getting a way better deal. Can you imagine grabbing the TM M16 Tactical Carbine at the front barrel and swing it around? We don't think so =) With the CA M15A4, you are getting the whole complete package of upgraded parts like the metal body, one piece outer barrel and upgraded internals. Why did we compare the M15A4 with TM M16 Tactical Carbine, that is because the design of the gun is a copy from TM. But, this time, CA did not just copy it, they refined it and improved tremendously from their previous versions!!!
