No... all M-16, M-4's are righty only. The protrustion called the "brass defelctor" is supposed to keep brass from ejecting into the face of a left handed user. Not always successful, most people learn how to fire right handed.

During our NBC ( Nuclear, biological, chemical) warfare training one of the task was to fire the M-16a2 with Pro-mask on (protective mask, aka "gas mask". The drill sergeants did not allow left handed firers to switch the side of the filter canister from left to right. Therefore the weapon could only be fired from the right, while wearing the mask.

It is something lefty's are semi forced to learn.


Sidenote: Watch Black Hawk Down. When the second black hawk goes down and the ranger climbs out and opens fire he switches from right to left, then back to right freely.

In real life more than likly he would have started out as a left handed shooter who learned right, and can switch depending on the angle of the shot. It is a great advantage since righty's normally dont aquire this skill.

my parents won't allow me to buy an airsoft weapon, because they feel I'm too immature to own something which could harm my brother or sister. They forget that I have fired real rifles with live rounds in the vicinity of other people.

You mean the first crash site and the Delta that climbs out (I know they probably do this at both crash sites)? biggrin:
Here's some pics to back up that point. Delta using right:

Also, I use left-handed models on CS and when using M4 I haven't been hit in the face by brass yet biggrin:
