Does anyone here know the range of the M4s?

M4... Today's version of the M16?? well since it still shoots a .223 round, youd still get 3 yo 400 yards with confident accuracy me thinks...

Effective firing range 300 m (point target)
Maximum firing range 500 m (area target)
2,100 m (maximum)

Filling Octol
Filling weight 440 g high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) round

Octol is a melt-castable, high explosive mixture consisting of HMX and TNT in different weight proportions.

Composition
Two formulations are commonly used:

70% HMX & 30% TNT
75% HMX & 25% TNT
Given that HMX has a much higher detonation velocity than TNT (over 2,000 metres per second faster) and forms the main part of this explosive blend, the brisance characteristics of Octol can be inferred.

As another Freeper pointed out, you’re looking at practical accuracy in the neighborhood of 300, 400 yards. I believe my old Airman’s Manual lists the max effective range as being around 600; what M855 (62 grain steel core) does to a person out that far, how much steam the bullet has left that far down range is out of my level of experience. Some people sneer at 5.56/.223 as being a poodle shooter; however it’s not to be underestimated; if memory serves me correctly Kyle Rittenhouse only had a magazine loaded with 55 grain ball ammo on that night.

Same family of weapons, there used to be a thread over at AR15.com, where a guy was documenting reaching out and hitting an IPSC target out at 1000 yards with a rack grade M16A2 upper, and milspec semi auto lower receiver.

About 400 yards for an M4. Difficult shot without an optic but reasonably doable. 5.56 range depends heavily on barrel length
