The Stoner Review: M4 Crystal (norm.)
Sup guys, here's a quickie on the 80-coupon M4-Crystal. I exchanged for one today, and I'm impressed by its stats.
Here we go:
Power (values are close,mid, and long range respectively):
*Head: 100 at all ranges (unless target has armor)
*Chest: 32,30,28
*Gut: 35,33,32
*Leg: 22,19,17
*Arm: 29,28,26
In terms of power, it's the same as all of the M4A1's.
Accuracy/Recoil/Spray Pattern: Here's where things get a bit interesting... not only does the Crystal have a higher accuracy rating than the other silenced M4's, but it also has a very easily controllable spray pattern that mostly stays within the crosshair (basically a T-shape that hangs lower than a typical M4 spray pattern). In addition, the Crystal stays on target longer during extended bursts (3-6 shots) than the Silver, Custom variants, and the M4-ADV
. It, however, has a bit more recoil than the regular M4A1 and the Gold M4.
Reload Time: 2.2 seconds, like every M4.
Looks: Pretty ugly, and it gets you noticed far too often. But hey, flashy guns get flashy kills
Ammo/Longevity: at 30/90 by default, the Crystal's a bit of a disappointment, especially considering the gun's medium-high ROF. Why doesn't this advanced M4 variant have an extended clip size? It's confusing... but keep in mind that the M4 Custom used to only have 30/90 rounds also. It could change in the future
Rate of Fire: no difference from the other silenced M4's.
Additional Positive: this shiny beast is one quiet killer... it makes less noise while shooting than the Silver and Custom, but doesn't beat the M4-Adv, which has a bugged silencer...
Additional Negative: loses durability about 40% quicker than other AR's, so be aware of this before you waste GP on heavy repair costs.
Overall, the M4 Crystal's a great coupon AR for those who don't have the M4 Custom Crystal yet, but wants extended accuracy in a quiet package. However, I'd only recommend it if you're a devout M4 user or a gun collecter, as it's really only an accuracy and recoil boosted M4 Silver. But w/e, I love mine
Score: 8.75/10
Feel free to list your opinions about this gun, and give suggestions into what my next review should be

Still seems to be a waste. 80 coupons for a reskin is too much.
I got mine because I ran out of guns to get with my coupons lol
I have everything in there now except for the M4 Gold
Just keep in mind though, it's not a reskin. It has boosted accuracy and recoil stats (higher and lower, respectively). -

a) I missed the hero mode launch
b) I'm not at 100k kills, 5,000 matches played, or have gifted ZP yet.
I have 16 ribbons right now, so I got this to try something new out until I get that 20th ribbon -

I see lol. I got the gold even though it looks bad...still looks better than the crystal. I just wanted a regular M4 but I didn't have GP.
Also how do you know it has higher accuracy and lower recoil?
I shot 5 bullets into the air first so the clip only had 30 like the M4-Crystal. My friend shot it a little bit more upward but you can still see it goes higher than the silver. People might feel it has lower recoil because its less noise but its the same. People keep on saying the same thing about the M4-CC when the M4-C beats it in everything except firing rate. -
It just feels that way when firing, plus the spray pattern just seems a bit tighter, idk.L0LSmilyFace wrote: »I see lol. I got the gold even though it looks bad...still looks better than the crystal. I just wanted a regular M4 but I didn't have GP.

But I still hate how it the ammo count is only at the AR standard of 30/90 >_> -

It has a faster reload?? Never used it, so I wouldn't know.ronza149wan wrote: »umm i wonder if m4 spring has the same stats as m4 crystal except 35 bullets per mag and faster reload~~~
But I would think that the M4 Spring is a reskinned M4-Silver, not an M4-Crystal. -

rememeber when we tested m4 cc and m4 c? cc was better
