M-4

I have a friend who works for a "company" who's name I can't divulge,
who is soon to be going to a place, the name of which cannot be divulged. He just got back from a training course in which he had to become familiar with a number of weapons. One of these weapons was the AK-47....no big deal. Another was the M-4. He absolutley raved about this weapon. What impressed me, however, was a target he brought back.
He said he shot the M-4 on the 300 meter range and he put 6 of 8 rounds in a spot the size of a quarter. WITH OPEN SIGHTS!!!
I've shot with him before and he's a pretty good marksman. BUT HE AIN'T THAT GOOD. He swears that the M-4 is the most accurate rifle, of it's type, he's ever fired. I actually believe he shot this group.
Is the M-4 THAT accurate?
If so, why?
I looked at the auction site and everything I saw looked like another
AR-15 to me.
Can someone out there enlighten me about this rifle.
I've got an M-16 and it's damn accurate but it's not gonna' shoot a group like that on my best day. (And I ain't no slouch on the range.)

i have to raise the BS flag on this one.
6 shots in a group that is 0.954" ? thats how big a quarter is. just under 1" i dont buy it. ESPECIALLY with iron sights on the M4 the shorter barrel certainly does not lend itself to greater accuracy, and he was probably using lake city military ammo. at 300 meters? BS
go ask a benchrest shooter to do that. 6 shots at 325yards(300 meters=325 yards)in a group of 0.954" i bet he CANT do it with his high dollar optics.

I have an AR in M4 config and its reasonably accurate at 100 - 150 meters but there is no way in heck that I could get a group like that with iron sights and I shoot a rifle pretty well. Cant hit squat with a handgun.

I met a guy who told me he had perfected the art of sex....just not with another person yet.
Do you mean they make an inflatable M4?
