Quick answer

The M4-A1 MP Handguard is a weapon attachment for the M4-A1 assault rifle in DayZ. Like other handguards, it reduces the weapon's dispersion cone to improve accuracy. On the M4-A1, it lowers base dispersion from 0.0015 to 0.00135, giving an accuracy improvement of 10%. It provides more dispersion reduction than the M4-A1 Rail Handguard and M4-A1 Polymer Handguard, but it does not provide the same rail utility as the Rail Handguard.
