Granted the M4A1 carbine does look cool, but in terms of performance it doesnt compare to other rifles. Even an M16 has better performance, if you were to fire an M16A2 and and M4A1 you would notice a difference in accuracy and muzzle velocity. The M4 was just adopted by the US armed forces as a close-range weapon (that is what the carbine deignation is for), but for this compactness many things are sacrificed due to the different type of ammo (same caliber, different design).
Now the G36 is a very nice rifle, probably the best designed modern firearm.
My favorite would have to be an MP5, more specifically the MP5SD. Simple SMG design, nice accuracy for an SMG, and silenced weapons are just fun as hell to fire (and it doesnt make me go deaf after firing it).
