About

The M4A4

The M4A4 is the CT side's default rifle. It does less damage per bullet than the AK-47 but fires faster and kicks less, and it moves a little quicker with you.

It carries Counter-Strike 1.6's numbers for the CT rifle, unsilenced.

A headshot never kills through a helmet in one hit: at 10 m it takes 2. To the chest through armour at 10 m it takes 5 hits, 0.4 s of fire.

Damage
