Nice, I just wish the pictures were sharper. Perhaps a more detailed list of what M4 components are included could be useful, ie which scopes, laser designators etc, as they are not clearly visible from the pics.

Mario- I believe with all the AR-15/M16/M4 Family sets you get the same accessories sprue, WB6, which has some Deisgnators/Illuminators/Target Pointers (AN/PEQ2 etc), some underbarrel M203's, a variety of sights (mostly if not all ACOG types) and one other thing that appears to be an underbarrel torch/handgrip. You also get a small sheet of etched slings but they aren't very bendy and are a little hard to shape. The guns and accessories are very well detailed though- they are good sets.

Photos are too fuzzy. Need more light, better focus, or maybe a tripod and longer exposure time. Even better yet, use a flatbed scanner.

Brian, Gary, you'll have to take both points up with the reviewer. We encourage our contribs to do the best they can with their cameras. As to these weapons, I am not even sure what the acronyms stand for.
