M4 Carbine

He knew he was in trouble. The cops had come already- only 4 minutes into the operation! They knew. They somehow knew.

He and his friend, Marcus, were really short on cash the past month. The landlord was getting more and more angry, demanding the money and threatening to kick them out.
And that’s where the turn of events led to.
He bought 2 AK-74s, an M911 Pistol, and an M4 Carbine rifle. They knew they were going too far, but they had no choice- rob a bank or be sent on the street.

The cops were coming. Thankfully, he and his friend Marcus were calm people- when they heard the sirens, they panicked but soon regained calm. Marcus was the hunter- he could shoot a bird out of the air no problem from hundreds of yards away.
Marcus swore under his breath, taking up the M4 Carbine and mounting it on a chair.
He leveled the gun off and shot off a warning shot into the lights of one of the police cruisers. Then he picked up the AK-74 and peppered the cruisers with bullet-piercing rounds.
The shootout had begun.
