They are light, handy, compact and offer a much greater level of performance than any pistol-cal-iber carbine. Because of this, many law enforcement agencies are changing over from pistol-caliber submachine guns for SWAT use to M4Al-type carbines. For patrol, a semiautomatic version of the M4A1 is an ideal choice. One of the greatest strengths of the M4Al-type carbine is its modular capa-bility. Although the AR carbine wasn't originally intended to be a modular weapon, it became so in the early 1990s when the Special Operations Com-mand (USSOCOM) developed the 3OPMOD (Special Operations Peculiar Modification).
