[MoM]Porter's current favorite weapon is the Colt M4A1 Carbine. Historically [MoM]Porter has used the MP5 Navy, but lately it's been the Colt. No one is really sure why he has so suddenly and mysteriously switched (and no one dares ask) but seeing that weapon in action in his hands is like seeing a cobra strike. Watching him fire (if it is your pleasure to do so before he guns you down) is like watching a dance. You better sit this one out though.

Manufacturer: Colt
Cost: $3100

Detail : Restricted to CT's, this weapon is probably the best of the Automatic rifles and probably one of the most versatile and therefore favoured "3rd stage" guns of the game. It has very little kick back, the power of the weapon makes it effective as a short range sniper rifle and a good attack/defense weapon favoured by some against the slightly more expensive Commando rifle. In beta 6 it appears to have become even more useful.

When to Use : As a quick sniper rifle on maps with small but open areas, as a stealth attack weapon in close quarters combat.
When not to Use : In storming key points of a map, over longer distances.
Try to remember : Use the silencer. Not only does it keep the weapon 'silenced' but aids accuracy. Also try to stock up on 200 ammo at the start. Fire through doors too, the bullets will go through to hit any enemy lurking behind them. 

Hear lies the greatest change made to any of the guns since the last Beta. The M4A1 was too good, it excelled at all ranges of combat, and was considered by most as the best gun in CounterStrike. So it has been balanced out a bit, and is not quite the uber killing stick that it once was. Its still an exclusive Counter Terrorist weapon, but its more like the AK-47 now, it has lost its zoom capability, but gained a handy removable silencer just like the USP pistol. The silencer works exactly the same, it reduces noise and flash, but at the cost of some power. The M4A1 cannot be used at the extreme ranges it used to be able to cope with, the recoil is quite strong, full-auto means a lot of spraying, if you plan on rushing in, you must be prepared for the kick-back, again, bursts. It can penetrate objects like the AK-47, so keep that in mind.
