User blog:Cpl.Bohater/Gun review 1- M4 Carbine

Seeing as these new blogs are becoming the new thing among users here, I'll try to make a good one, for I haven't made a blog since October, and comments are welcome.

On this gun review, we'll be covering the M4 Carbine Assault rifle. The M4 traces all the way back to the original AR-15 Assault rifle, which the M16 series also is based on. The M4 comes with selective fire: 3 round burst, semi-auto and full auto. Enough with the IRL, let's talk about cod mechanics.

Call of duty 4
The M4 was first featured in CoD4. While it is fairly weak, dealing at the most 42 damage (For a headshot, meaning it will take three headshot to kill at point blank range) to 20 damage (Non-headshot, long distance), this is made up with it's firing rate (Fastest full auto assault rifle), extreme accuracy and low recoil.

Pros

 * 1) Low recoil
 * 2) High accuracy
 * 3) Rate of fire
 * 4) Unlocked at level 10
 * 5) Good ironsights
 * 6) It is just as good with a Silencer as with a Red Dot Sight<
 * 7) Little idle sway

Cons

 * 1) Low damage can make it a weak choice for CQC
 * 2) Rather low ammo count without Bandolier
 * 3) Poor candidate for ACOG sight
 * 4) Only receives multipliers to the head

Pros

 * 1) Slightly lower rate of fire allows for more control while firing
 * 2) Better ironsights

Cons

 * 1) Only receives multipliers to the head
 * 2) Ever poorer candidate for ACOG/Thermal optics
 * 3) Outmatched by almost all other assault rifles
 * 4) Only seems to do really well with an eotech holographic sight and Red Dot Sight
 * 5) Silencer loses damage immediately, unlike some other assault rifles

Ratings
Call of Duty 4 version- Paired with RDS, Bandloier and Stopping power, this thing will win for sure. I give it a 9.5/10

Modern Warfare 2 version- Overall a weak choice. 6/10

That's all for this review! Leave a comment on what you thought and what I should do next. Most credit has to go to Squirtle for the original idea, This is Bohater, and I hope you enjoyed my first blog in a long while. 03:22, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
