CS 1.6 Maverick M4A1 Carbine Guide
Maverick M4A1 Carbine
The Maverick M4 A1 carbine is the Workhorse of the Counter Terrorist faction. It is extremely versatile and can be used in pretty much any situation. From close and mid-range to long range fighting. Making it very reliable in any situation. Although the info is not as powerful as its counterpart the AK-47 it can still one shot an enemy without a helmet depending on the distance the shot was fired from. And even when fully armored can dispatch an opponent very effectively.
When using the M4 you have two options, you can use the suppressor, or not. It’s really up to the individual player on how they want to utilize the weapon. That being said, I will explain the differences. With the suppressor equipped the damage of the M4 will be increased and the noise from the weapon will dramatically be reduced, although it does have a few drawbacks.
The damage drop off for the weapon will be dramatically increased and using the suppressor severely affects the accuracy of the weapon, making it very difficult to use at long range and a bit difficult at medium range. Although, please keep in mind, with the suppressor this weapon becomes devastating for close and mid range combat.
Miscellaneous notes
The default movement speed in CS 1.6 is 250 units per second. When the M4 is equipped the movement speed drops down to 230 units per second. This is a very good rate and is only an 8% reduction in speed. An individual magazine cost $60 and if you want your M4 at maximum capacity it will cost $180. The time it takes for this weapon to reload is just over three seconds.
Please keep in mind that these stats do not take an account for falloff damage.
