|side=CT
|price=$2,900
|damage=38
|firerate=600 RPM
|magazine=20/40
|killreward=$300
|type=Rifle
}}

The '''M4A1-S''' is a silenced CT rifle trading magazine size for higher damage and stealth.

== Overview ==
The M4A1-S deals 38 base damage (vs M4A4's 33) and features a suppressor that eliminates tracers and reduces sound. The trade-off is a smaller 20-round magazine and only 40 reserve rounds.

== Strategy ==
* Higher damage means fewer bullets to kill, compensating for the smaller magazine
* Silencer hides your position on the minimap and removes tracers
* More accurate first shot than the M4A4
* Popular choice for holding angles and passive playstyles

M4A4

{{Infobox weapon

|side=CT
|price=$3,100
|damage=33
|firerate=667 RPM
|magazine=30/90
|killreward=$300
|type=Rifle
}}

The '''M4A4''' is a CT assault rifle offering a full 30-round magazine and higher fire rate than the AK-47.

== Overview ==
The M4A4 cannot one-shot headshot a helmeted enemy (deals ~91 damage to the head at close range), but compensates with a faster fire rate, easier spray control, and a full 30-round magazine. It costs $3,100, making CT full buys more expensive than T buys.

== Strategy ==
* The 30-round magazine is more forgiving than the M4A1-S's 20 rounds
* Higher fire rate makes it better for spraying multiple enemies
* Spray pattern is more predictable than the AK-47
