[REVIEW] 3 of the new weapons!
DISCLAIMER: These reviews were written to clarify people on which new weapon to get, in case they are indecisive, and/or inform about their characteristics. Please do not take them personally, everyone handles weapons differently. What may be good for you might be bad for me, and vice-versa. Thanks!
Alright, first of all I'd like to thank Z8Games for this excellent patch.
As you may all know, they have also released 6 new weapons, and I will be kind of reviewing 3 of them (sorry about the sniper, RPK-camo and Galil, but I wasn't lucky enough to get them...yet, or didn't want to spend ZP just for the Galil). Let's start off with the M12S.
M12S - Now, this one is similar to the Kriss, has the accuracy close to an M4, it's power is very decent, and possesses epic reload rate and RoF. It's a spray gun, those you can also burst with it and it provides decent results, both close and away (those close you really want to spray). I found myself, not owning a Kriss before, to be ownage with this weapon, getting an easy 5-Kill on Egypt and Ultra kills on Fortress. So here are the rundown of the advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages
- Epic reload rate (< 1.5 sec)
- Epic RoF (nearly Uzi style)
- Good power, ensures for some quick kills
- Awesome in CQC
- Accuracy is great
- Nearly non-existent recoil (since it's an SMG)
Disadvantages
-Lack of a good magazine, has 80 total, and spraying will end it very quickly. Still, not bad for an SMG.
Overall rating: 10/10
Final thoughts: This gun passes with flying colors. It's an extremely cheap alternative to the Kriss, has nearly the same power and accuracy, AND it's easy to use. Certainly not a letdown at all for people who love to spray. GET IT NOW.
TAR-21
The TAR-21 is the newest addition to the rifles' roster, and it comes with a handy scope, just like the AUG A1 when scoped in. Its rate of fire decreases if you use this, naturally, but it's not that great, so I wouldn't recommend using it. Normal usage-wise, it has pretty average power, a strange quite high recoil (not like the AK, but close), nice accuracy, a pretty irregular fire pattern (shaped like a question mark), and a pretty high RoF. I got one, and after some matches, it's quite a decent gun to spray if you can aim pretty decently, and bursting in long-range provides some serious kills.
Advantages:
-Great accuracy
-High RoF (not like an SMG, but good for a rifle)
-Great in any type of usage and distance (w/ appropriate firing methods - bursting is favored)
-Good reload rate (quite close to the Tommy)
Disadvantages
- Low power for its recoil
- Pretty high recoil
- Irregular spray pattern
- Scope well...leaves a bit to be desired
Overall rating: 7.5/10
Final thoughts: Whilst its accuracy can compare to the Scar Lights (the best GP rifle in the game overall), it's power is no where as near. The recoil will shoot up around 4 shots, and that probably isn't enough to kill if you aren't a very decent aimer. However, it can be quite deadly in the wrong hands (meaning, a pro or an intermediate with good experience), so beware. Get this gun if you'd like a new experience.
M4A1 Silver
Boosting a shiny silver skin, the M4-Adv reemerges, now with a permanent status, and given it's high BP cost and exclusiveness, this gun provides us with all the M4-Adv has to offer. It's silencer is probably one of the best in-game (well, I think the M4-C has the best silencer), and accuracy is top-notch.
Advantages:
- LYK OMG ITS SHINNYYYYY *steals gun* - yes this will happen a lot!
- Reliable like any M4
- Silenced
- Permanent
- Extremely accurate
- Nice power
- Rare
Disadvantages:
- Exclusive to ZP buyers (since it's a BP weapon)
Overall rating: 9/10
Final thoughts: The M4A1-Silver is pretty much a clone of its predecessor, the M4-Adv. However, it's rarity makes this gun a must have for collectors (and show-offs). Beware of jealous n00bs.
It's not the best M4 in the game, per se, but it's a fantastic weapon to carry in one of your bags.

Thanks and enjoy!

how many shots on m4 silver
It's 35/105 per round, like the Adv.
I'd recommend the M12S, but that's just me.
Completely owned in Egypt against some good player, got Ace twice.
Best M4...well, I'd go with the Gold, but the M4-C wins for GM and SnD.
Tar is a great weapon too, it just takes a little to get used to it, I guess.
