El sistema CG presenta ahora su 4ta generaci\u00f3n, la M4, con avances y mejoras respecto del anterior M3. Un aspecto destacado es que el primer CG entr\u00f3 en servicio en 1948 y distintas generaciones del sistema, est\u00e1n en servicio desde esa fecha en m\u00e1s de 40 pa\u00edses. Menor peso, mejor ergonom\u00eda, nuevas tecnolog\u00edas aplicadas en munici\u00f3n y mejoras significativas en los sistemas de control de punter\u00eda y disparo, son las virtudes del M4 y las razones por las cuales el US Army y el US Marines, siguen confiando en este arma.
