I don't know which weapon has the wrong Bulk here - or if, considering Bulk does double-duty as both "how easy is it to use on the move" and "how easy is it to conceal," this is a case where the two don't quite match up, and the M4A1 may be just as easy to use on the move as the Desert Eagle but should be harder to conceal.

While, yes, you should definitely add TDM to Holdout to make weapons with the same Bulk, but obviously easier or harder to conceal conform to reality, in this particular case, Bulk -4 for the Desert Eagle is just an error and should be fixed in newer printings of GURPS High-Tech. It's a Bulk -3 firearm.
