How are there so many M4s?

The TM shotguns were like that when they were first became popular, If you turned up at The Mall with a breacher, or then a KSG or AA12 for a few weeks there was an aura about you. 

But then people clocked on they were not the bringer of doom everyone thought them to be. 

Can still be devastating in CQB though if used right!

I must admit there is a slight worry for the skin when you wonder if the person is going to use 3 or 6 shot ? Having taken all 6 bb's to the back of my hand before I can tell you that the aura sometimes has some truth behind the "fear"

You say that but a guy at our site turned up with his (pretty sure he ordered from Europe) and it chrono'd at a stupidly high FPS and was really bloody loud too! should have seen the guys in the ques faces when he let rip with it. Unfortunately for him he couldn't use it due to the FPS issue but when he came back with it and had the issues sorted people were too scared to go near him ?

true, but that's not unique to that gun, any gun can be hot.

funny mine was the opposite story, when i got her new she was firing half a joule at 20rps, which compared to your average aeg made it probably the least scary gun on the field

I came home with what looked like measles after 'the box of death' game at The Mall once due to a KSG!! 

Was fun though.. But it is funny how some weapons have an aura about them.

Agreed but our site rarely has anything turn up with an rps that is what I would call decent in terms of a support weapon so I guess that was more the intimidation factor as well, even my old G&P mk46 didn't come close to that and I thought that was pretty tasty in terms of good rps.

haha bet you kept some heads down with that! ?

Agreed, or how some gun platforms mean you are automatically a cheater but I digress

Better a ksg than a gun firing on the limit with a fast trigger.  Trishots never bothered me but had some right stingers from hpa and fast aegs.

My arp is scary according to my teammates due to how loud it sounds.

Then they realize I reach far beyond their guns while still shooting at .98J and the get terrified.

Same with my M4s and the striker (although they're not loud at all).

Btw M4s are so common because of the ergonomics and the endless possibilities the platform offers.

Also think about all the Armed Forces that use them or even produce their own variants.

oh the plan is to push her beyond the limits of ordinary sanity, i'm aiming for ~100rps although this gun isn't really for making hits with it's just to be "that guy" nobody wants to go near which will allow me to use it like a proper support gun and hold down a sector for squad mates to flank round. sure won't be using it up close as it's so big and heavy you just can't get on target fast enough to be any use at anything bar the limit of range.

although doesn't help that preliminary testing of the system it's incredibly quiet which doesn't help with the end-goal of intimidation.

its a possibility, i suspect it's due to the length of barrel on it combined with the way the hpa is being run by a continuous solenoid rather than an actual engine with a nozzle, so it's got air leaks galore and the pressure behind the bb when it leaves the barrel isn't very high so you don't get that pop.
