A pistol type fore-grip absolutely does serve a purpose and is advantageous in many tactical situations, particularly in close-quarters combat and urban environments. And rifles like the M4 are designed with CQB in mind, since that is what troops would often find themselves engaged in. Admittedly, an M4 or a similar civilian semi-auto "assault rifle" with a pistol-grip fore-end would not be my choice for home defense or hunting, but it would be my choice for many tactical situations.

Meh, everybody has their preference.  For a close quarters tactical situation (ie., indoors, home protection, etc.) I would prefer a shotgun and a pistol.  For longer ranges (more than say 20 yards) then perhaps a rifle of some kind but again, I personally wouldn't want a pistol type fore-grip.  It's just my opinion and my personal preference.
