  — Item Description 


Derived from the M16A3, the M4A1 (Model 4 Advanced 1) is an automatic, gas-operated, box magazine-fed carbine classified as an Assault Rifle in Combat Arms.

Although not the most popular weapon in the game, its sheer fame, low recoil, cheap cost, and the lack of rank requirement has ensured that almost every player has used an M4A1 at least once during their career.

Overview

The M4A1 was one of the first assault rifles released in the game. While its stats are barely discernible from those of the M16A3, the difference between the two weapons is exceptional. The M416 CQB is often compared to the M4A1 in terms of efficiency.

The M4A1's low recoil makes it easy to control. When looking through a scope, one can fire a continuous stream of bullets and still hit targets at long distances. The recoil pattern is irregular compared to other Assault Rifles'. The first few shots will result in vertical recoil. However, continued automatic fire will cause the recoil to change to a side to side motion. This may be remedied through tap-firing.

Despite the low damage (medium-to-weak 4-hit kill), the M4A1 is one of the best available choices for CQC with its light weight, fire rate, and low spread. Low damage drop-off makes this gun as effective as other higher ranked Assault Rifles at long ranges. This gun may be customized in the Gun Emporium with all customization modes.

The M4A1 is superseded by many similar, low-recoil weapons such as the M416, causing NX users and many high-ranking players to choose superior weapons.
