A little more on the M4:
Reportedly the unit cost for M4A1 for the USMC CQBW (close quarter battle weapon) is $1442.
This includes the M4A1, Knight Rail Adapter System, Knight Back up Iron Sight, Knight Vertical Fore grip, 3 point sling, Eagle RC-M4 case, and 7 magazines.
(By the way, Force Recon gets 13 magazines.)
It may also include an M203 QD, Insight Technology 9 volt VLI, Otis cleaning kit and the Trijicon Reflex sight.
It does not include an AN/PVS-17 night vision system (military version of the Litton 6015), Knight QD sound suppressor or the AN/PAQ-4C infrared laser designator.
