The<\/span>\u00a0M4A4 vs M4A1<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0debate is almost as old as\u00a0<\/span>Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/span><\/a>. The first of these weapons was included at the very beginning of the CS series, while the second gun appeared in the game in August 2013.\u00a0<\/span>Both of them are powerful Counter-Terrorist rifles. To<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0some degree, choosing one over the other is a matter of preference.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, recent CS:GO patches, such as Operation Riptide, have intensified the discussion around this topic and have given M4A1 fans more intellectual ammunition to defend their case.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this brief guide, y<\/span>ou\u2019ll get a solid understanding of the M4A4 vs M4A1 debate\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>and why the controversy exists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bullets –\u00a0<\/span>M4A4 vs M4A1<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since the M4A4, as well as M4A1 (or M4A1-S), are CT rifles, the total number of bullets (ammo capacity) and the magazine capacity of these guns is an important parameters.\u00a0<\/span>And in this department, the M4A4 wins<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0by a long margin. Its 120 bullets and 30 bullets per magazine capacity are much better than M4A1\u2019s 100 bullets and 20 bullets per magazine capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you are a Counter-Terrorist, you often need to hold a position and deter the enemy by shooting through smoke or a closed door.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Are the best M4A4 Skins<\/a> missed in your CS:GO loadout?<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Counter-Strike, Terrorists like to group up and go like 3, 4, or even 5 when they assault one of the two map locations (A and B). Meanwhile, the Counter-Terrorists usually have 2 or 3 people to defend each location. Sometimes less is the case the player died prior to the big moment of the round.<\/span><\/p>\n

In all of these scenarios, the last thing you want is to reload your weapon at the wrong time because you\u2019ve run out of bullets. And this is probably the biggest reason why\u00a0<\/span>the best CS:GO players<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0prefer the M4A4 over the M4A1.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The reload times of the guns are identical: 3.1 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spray Control –\u00a0<\/span>M4A1<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>vs M4A4<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

When it comes to spray control,\u00a0<\/span>the M4A1 is arguably the better weapon\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>because of its spray pattern<\/a>. The gun is easier to control when aiming at a single target. And, therefore, more appropriate in 1v1 situations, especially for beginners.<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem, however, is that you often have to aim at two targets in quick succession. And the transition of the M4A4 is much easier than that of M4A1.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"m4a4<\/figure>\n

To some extent, this is a matter of personal preference and skill. If you have 1000 hours with a weapon and just 200 with the other, your experience might make it seem easier to shoot with one than with the other, while in reality, it isn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span>But many pros still report that the M4A4 is an objectively better choice<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>how to aim in CS:GO<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at more than one target.<\/span><\/p>\n

Price –\u00a0<\/span>M4A4 vs M4A1<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the main arguments for picking the M4A1 over the M4A4 is the reduced price of the former.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the CT side, money is always a key factor when buying equipment, and\u00a0<\/span>the $200 price difference between the M4A1 and the M4A4\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>comes into play more often than you would like. And that extra flashbang you could have bought for $150 might have had a big impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fire Rate –\u00a0<\/span>M4A4 vs M4A1<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The fire rate of these two rifles differs significantly. The M4A4 has a rate of fire of\u00a0<\/span>666 rounds\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>per minute, while the M4A1\u2019s fire rate is only<\/span>\u00a0600 rounds<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0per minute. In other words, the former is roughly 10% better than the latter.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the professional level, this is important not because you\u2019re shooting non-stop, but because once you start shooting, when your rifle has a higher fire rate, your bullets might hit and kill the enemy faster, giving him less time to kill you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Damage\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before the changes introduced by Operation Riptide, the M4A1-S was considerably weaker than it is today. Its body damage got buffed significantly. That\u2019s a strong argument in its favor in the M4A4 vs M4A1-S debate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a table showing the damage of both guns, against enemies that have or don\u2019t have armor, when hitting the major body parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both CS GO guns have 70% armor penetration. In turn, their penetration power is 200. Their average damage is evaluated at 33 and 38. Depending on your aim, the difference might be smaller. If you can land headshots with ease, you don\u2019t need to worry about the M4A4\u2019s leg damage. But if you can\u2019t, each damage number is important.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most shots are body shots against armored opponents. So a realistic way of estimating the damage difference between these guns is by looking at the first 3 numbers on the Armored column.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other Factors<\/span><\/h2>\n

Both CS:GO guns are accurate at 28 meters, which is quite a long range. At close range, they\u2019re deadly. The advantage of the M4A1 is that it\u2019s more silent. In some situations, this can play an important role.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to running, walking, and crouching, the two rifles are identical.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing between these two weapons is your level of familiarity with each of them. Ultimately, the question is not:\u00a0<\/span>which gun is better?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>The question is: which gun do I play better with?<\/span><\/p>\n

Your effectiveness as a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player depends not only on the quality of the gun you\u2019re using but also on your expertise. The M4A1 might be slightly better in certain situations, but if you have little experience, going for the M4A4 will probably work better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Verdict: Is the M4A1 better than the M4A4 now?<\/span><\/h2>\n

These two guns don\u2019t deal identical damage. On the other hand, the M4A1 is considerably better than the other. They also don\u2019t have the same price. At this point, the M4A1 has the advantage. However, the fire rate and magazine capacity favour the M4A4. That\u2019s a major factor to consider.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, it\u2019s really up to you to determine what you prefer. Some people like to have more bullets. Others want their bullets to deal more damage. Some pro players from the best teams in the world use the M4A4, while others use the M4A1.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the near future, Valve might change the balance of these rifles again.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>But for now, they\u2019re roughly equal in strength. It all depends on your particular in-game situation and preferences. And to end this analysis with a joke, which gun is better? The M4A1 or the M4A4?…<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
