Quick item summary
Quick answer
The M4-A1 Polymer Handguard is a weapon attachment for the M4-A1 assault rifle in DayZ. Like other handguards, it reduces the weapon's dispersion cone, improving overall accuracy. On the M4-A1, it lowers base dispersion from 0.0015 to 0.0014, giving an accuracy improvement of about 6.67%. It is the lightest M4-A1 handguard option shown here, but provides less dispersion reduction than the M4-A1 MP Handguard and M4-A1 Rail Handguard.
