M-16A4 is a gun used today.

If  you don't want it to be a mil spec weapon to start out with, AR-15 that has been modified throughout the years.

Also Known As the M-4 by its users.

Isn't the M4 the carbine version of the M16a4 rifle?

[Tarislar]

Yes, M-4 is not the same as M-16A4

I don't need the best gun or even the coolest gun, but i need it to be right.

It's an assault rifle, first off. It's something that's been used by the same owner in multiple military campaigns, then passed to a child and used through several more. It's been upgraded, changed up, and re-arranged over the years, and is still an effective weapon, comparable to most mainstream tech on the market.

What would yall do?

Nothing says longevity & endurance like an AK-97 IMHO.

I recently set mine up with the following....

External Smartgun - Top
Gas Vent 3 - Barrel
Foregrip - UnderBarrel
Shock Pads - Stock
Personalized Grip - Handle

Removed that Personalized grip & maybe swap out the Smartgun for Lasersight or Imaging Scope & you have a weapon that could have been passed down for decades.  And will still be quite effective in 2075.  Or keep the Smartgun & say it was your recent addition.

Or make the smart link a big hulking boxy thing. Then say it was a prototype smart link or a first gen. Hell we have smart guns today. Its not a stretch to have a bleeding edge weapon now still be good 60 years from now

I think tarislar has the best available idea. I can't think of anything better.
