The Tippmann Arms M4-22 Micro Compact Pistol is a .22 LR AR-style pistol with a 7-inch barrel and a 25-round magazine (brand part no. A101191). Tippmann Arms builds it with aluminum upper and lower receivers and a 5.5-inch M-LOK handguard, and the whole pistol weighs only 3.45 pounds. It follows the M4 layout, so the controls and many standard AR-15 parts and accessories carry over. A nickel-plated compact bolt and a 4.5-pound trigger make it a low-cost way to practice. It is a good fit for plinking and for training with the handling of a full-size AR.
