I kind of gave up on texturing my M4, and decided to make a UMP instead.

Update:

Added the charging handle, fixed/added a few other things, smoothed some parts out, and removed unnecessary faces.

Nice!

Just a note:
"removed unnecessary faces" - You don't remove the faces. You remove edges/edge-loops and vertices...
Do you have any blueprints for that?

Yeah that's what I mean lol..

I don't have any line-drawing blueprints of it, but I'm using this one on a plane for side view reference:

On top of that, I got a bunch of other pictures (and a YouTube vid) for more reference.

I try not to use a foto for a blueprint. Photos tend to have perception in them, causing some parts to look larger, smaller, angled, etc. www.the-blueprints.com has a lot of blueprints of guns, vehicles, and what not. Might want to take a look there.

Just looked, no ump 45 blueprints unfortunately.
