Yway, and I know the barrel length is still long, but the sight radius is much shorter so you're required to have some kind of optical sight which raises costs.

Seems like a trade off to me, I mean, an M4 isn't exactly unwieldy.

I would think the main advantage would be in urban warfare. A compact weapon works better for clearing buildings.

You're point about the sight radius is valid and would need to be addressed with optics.
