History of M4A1
The M4A1 carbine is a variant of the basic M4 carbine intended for special operations use. The M4A1 can be found in use by many U.S. military units, including the Delta Force, U.S. Navy SEALs, U.S. Army Rangers, and the U.S. Marine Corps' Radio Reconnaissance Platoons and Force Reconnaissance companies. The M4A1 Carbine is specially favored by counter-terrorist and special operations units for close quarters combat because of the carbine's compactness and firepower. These features are also very useful in urban warfare. Although the M4 does not have as great an effective range as the longer M16, many military analysts consider engagement with a non-specialized small arm above a range of 300 meters to be unnecessary. It is effective at ranges of 150 meters or less. It has a maximum effective range of about 400 meters.
Introduction of M4A1
M4A1, one of the great weapon of Soldier Front. M4A1 as many says, is the ideal weapon of choice for those who want to battle in close quarter combat. It is the lightest assault rifle (tied with G36C) among the rifle groups which is favoured by pro assaulter's in rushing. One of its problem is the damage, it ranks second to the last among assault rifles but makes it up with its high rate of firing. Also among the highest recoil just behind AK-74. Well this is one of Soldier Front cheapest weapons but has an average power in both outdoor and indoor battles.
Pros
-One of the lightest weapon.
-The fastest rate of fire.
-Very good in rushing and close combat.
-It only cost SP 22,500. Cheapest among assault rifles.
-Clip size of 30/120 which will last an entire round.
-Strong in mid-range and close range.
Cons
-Average damage about 6/10
-Has a bad recoil system.
-There are more strong rifles.
-Crosshair becomes bigger when fired continuosly.
-Average at long range.
Rushing
Rushing means moving as fast as you can to your designated area. In SF, rushing is mostly used and that it renders your enemy unprepared for your attack. Rushing doesnt mean that you go to the enemy and shoot him alone. Wrong concept of rushing is that when you are rushing alone. NEVER RUSH ALONE, have a teammate or two follow you. Be sure that when you are already near your area (when you know that an enemy will likely to pop out), use the crouch or walk mode. Move as a unit and support each other. Never throw a grenade when your teammate is about to move into that area. Team kill will lower your honor level and will discourage your teammate thus losing the game. When moving in, check out any hiding spot where an enemy is likely to hide. Also check each others back as their are those that are backstabbing your squad. Stealth and Speed combine is dangerous. So move fast but silently.
The Art of Firing
Spraying is a term used when you hold down your left mouse button as it continuosly fire about 10-20bullets per click. This shot allows you put your opponent down very quick when in close combat. Spraying with your M4A1 upclose usually takes about 7-10 bullets to kill an enemy due to the lack of damage but with your fast firing rate you ensure that your opponent die first. When an enemy pops out near about 5 feet spray him with your gun while moving around him (running or jumping).
When an enemy appears about mid-range, use crouch and burst fire him. Crouching allows you to have a firm grip of your gun creating a minimal change on your crosshair and makes you a harder target. Crouch first before you shoot. With crouching on, use burst fire. Bursting is when you trigger your gun and about 3-5 bullets is fired then regain sight then fire again 3-5 bullets. With bursting you will be able to regain your gun crosshair after shooting three shot then fire again. This takes about 1/4 of a second to regain your sight.
Crouch + Fire
1. Crouch
2. Stop
3. Place the center of the crosshair on their chest. (upperbody)
4. Fire about 3-5 bullets. Burst
5. Regain your sight then fire again or you can move down slowly your sight.
Do this before you shoot. Firing first before you crouch will just make it worst as you will experience the same crosshair when your standing.
Use burst fire when you are backstabbing an enemy and that you fire an enemy at his body as your recoil will go up and you will possibly get an headshot. Single fire is also useful but do not use often. Only single fire when an enemy is very far. Do not spray an enemy that is far as this is inaccurate and will waste your ammo. Remember to reload once you have low bullets. Reload only when under cover. Once mastered, you will be the ideal assaulter.
Suppressing Fire is one of the most rarely used tactic though. You shoot at an enemy while he is taking cover on a wall, box, crates etc.. while your teammate move in and kill him. Very useful when you have a teammate or two. It keeps your enemy down while your teammate move in.
Single Shot with Rapid clicking or Semi-Auto is also being used in SF. It uses the fast tapping of your left mouse button. Which means you fire fast single shot bullet to the enemy. This is also good as the crosshair will not zoom out. This technique usually is done by veterans as they will rapidly shoot single shot on the enemies head to ensure quick death. Very hard to master though but deadly.
Roles
There are two types of role you will be having when using the M4A1. The frontline assaulter and the support/backup type. In being a frontline, you must be adept on using your M4A1. You will be the one that will attack the enemy first and that you ensure your team safe passage. Being a fronliner is difficult as you will need the skills to take on 2-3 opponents at once. With your M4A1 you will be able to kill them fast. Frontliner also means a tanker on your team or what they say the "suicidal gunner". Support or backup are the ones that help the frontliner. In being a support gunner, you must able to help the frontliner in taking down the enemy as fast as possible. The faster you kill, the lesser a teammate will fall. So basically you are not the enemies target but the frontliner. So when attacking the enemies, when the frontliner attacks enemy A and enemy A and B attack him. Immediately takeout enemy B. There are many roles though but remember to be with your teammate or your squad (preferably 2-3 teammates) and not be rambo type. Move as a unit and support each other. As the saying goes, "United we stand, divided we fall".
The Agile M4A1
One thing that a M4A1 reign supreme from assault rifle group is speed. No assault rifle is more faster and lighter than M4A1. With a M4A1, you are just like moving with a submachinegun (somewhat close). With your M4A1, you move your surrounding more faster and gained a ground power. Ground power in the sense that you are able to move from one place to another. Most of the primary weapons are heavier than M4A1. One advantage of the M4A1 is you are able to dodge bullets when jumping due to its light weight mass. You are able to jump farther just like a submachine gun user does. Unlike other weapons when you jump you become slower. Also doing the sliding crouch, it is usually done when running up the corner. When you are almost near the edge of the corner immediately release the move button then push the crouch button. Its somewhat a bit weird though but you gain 2-4 meters of ground by sliding. With speed you attain stealth. You are able to hide nearer to enemy designation position (if you know what I mean) and with that you are able to backstab them thus a kill is given.
