M4 Custom or Ak Knife?

M4A1-Custom:

Accuracy: Pinpoint, this gun is among the top accurate guns in the game with the Steyr Aug.



Power: This gun kills with one shot to the head, and 4-5 body shots.


Recoil/Spray pattern: Not too easy to control, not as bad as the AK-47. Its an M4A1 with an average spray pattern and average recoil.


Maneuverability (reload/weight/gun switch time): Idk, the reload seems just a tiny bit faster than a normal M4A1 to me. Its also noticeably lighter, which doesn't make sense because it has an added scope and silencer.

The gun switch time is too long to be constantly switching between pistol and primary for a faster run speed, because by the time you see them and react to switch to your gun, you're dead.

Added bonuses: A red-dot scope, which is quite good actually if you turn your zoom sensitivity down (10 is good for me) because 5-shot bursts have no recoil in scope. Its also extremely good for picking off headshots.

A silencer, which is probably the best feature about this gun. It will save your life frequently because by the time someone figures out where the bullets are coming from, they're dead. ALWAYS use the silencer to maximum advantage.

35/105 ammo instead of the 30/90 in a regular M4A1.

AK-47 Knife

Accuracy: Perfect accuracy for the first shot, but completely screwy for everything that comes after. This gun also matches up with the Steyr Aug and M4-custom for accuracy.

Power: Come on, its an AK-47. Power is awesome with a one-shot headshot and a 3-4 body shot kill.

Spray pattern/recoil: The worst out of the entire AK-47 series, I find it completely uncontrollable. After the first bullet, it seems like every shot goes AROUND the reticule in a random pattern I couldn't figure out. This gun is awesome for one-shotting, but do not get if you typically spray with an AK.

Maneuverability (reload time/weight/gun switch):

Reload is exactly the same as a normal AK in that its faster than average but not particularly speedy. Its a relatively light gun that you can run with, and the gun switch time is also pretty quick, slightly faster than the M4-custom in my opinion.

Added bonuses: Obviously a knife at the end which has a surprising range and is a one-hit kill to anywhere on the torso/head. Very good for Ghost Mode because you can interrupt reloading to knife someone.

35/105 Ammo instead of 30/90 in a regular AK.


Final thoughts:

Personally I would go for the M4A1-Custom because I have it, I love it, it was the first black market gun I won, and it has served me very well. The M4-Custom is much more all-purpose than the AK-Knife because it has a scope AND silencer which is useful across all modes, while the knife on the AK is at its best in Ghost Mode.


TL;DR: M4-C > AK-K
