Unit cost is $1500 US thats pretty high cost for a rifle at this low quality. As for addons it most rifle today offers the same result. The readily thing isnt hard, make it allow have M1913 rail and your all good. Personally I dont like a rifle jams 850/50,000 times from a test.
It's true Hk416 reduce it jams down to 350s (300 is from STANAG feed problem, same as M16 series) but the price is way to high, if it's Europe weapon level, its also on high end.
G36, a Rifle used by German is getting shine more now than before, jam rate is like 150s out of 50k rounds. XM8 and G36 design are the same FYI
Overally I would just say that M4 is popular simply because America is a super power, and they like their products to be
