Which one is better, M4A4 or M4A1, in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - Comparison of M4A4 and M4A1

Many people don’t know which one is better, M4A4 or M4A1, in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive? The article brought to you today is a comparative introduction of M4A4 and M4A1 in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. If you still don’t know, come and learn with the editor.

After M4A1 was added to CS:GO, M4A1 has been modified several times. For example, the price of M4A1 has experienced many changes from 2900 to 3100, and then increased to 3200, and finally to the current 3100. In the later period, M4A1 also experienced a reduction in the rate of fire. Below is some comparison of the current data of the M4A4 and M4A1.

1.Rate of fire

​​​​Among them, the current rate of fire of M4A1 is 600, which is the same as that of AK47, while the rate of fire of M4A4 is 667, which is faster than M4A1. As a result, when the M4A1 fires 20 bullets, the M4A4 can fire 22 bullets.

2. Ballistics

From the picture above, you can see that the trajectory pattern of the M4A1's strafing is more dense, while the M4A4 is a bit scattered in comparison.

3.Injury

The basic damage of both M4A1 and M4A4 is 33, and they are both weakened to 70% of their original value when facing armor. However, in terms of distance attenuation: M4A1 only has 1% attenuation, which is the same as the distance attenuation of AWP, which is the lowest attenuation in the game; while M4A4 has a 3% distance attenuation.

The picture above is a comparison of the damage attenuation with distance when M4A1 and M4A4 hit a target with a helmet. It can be seen that when the initial distance is 0, the damage of both is 92; as the distance increases to 4096Units (distance unit in the game), M4A1 attenuates to 85 damage, and M4A4 attenuates to 72 damage. The gap is still very large.

4. Game sounds

When the M4A1 is 2048 Units away in the game, gunshots can no longer be heard.

5. Accuracy of gun pressure

      在进行压枪扫射时，M4A1以微弱优势强于M4A4。

6.Conclusion

The M4A1’s more accurate ballistics and smaller distance attenuation make it more suitable for long-distance gunfights. The M4A4’s higher rate of fire and bullet advantages make it suitable for close-range fights.

Therefore, teams should consider using M4A1 and M4A4 in different map positions when competing. For example, on the map Nuke, the space in area A is relatively small, so M4A4 should be used more; while when connecting or in the field, the distance is relatively long, in addition to using AWP, M4A1 should be considered.

Game introduction

"Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" includes new maps, characters and weapons, and will also release upgrades to classic CS. In addition, the game also introduces new game modes, competitive matching systems, rankings, etc. The new battle mode is divided into two types: casual and competitive. In casual mode, players' attacks will not cause accidental damage to teammates, they can chat with enemies across teams, and the system will automatically put on body armor for characters.
