M4A1-S is a fairly easy-to-control weapon, at least compared to weapons like the AK-47. However, many players resort to pulling the crosshair down and calling it a day, which only works for the first few bullets. To help you better control it, here’s a complete guide on the M4A1-S spray pattern.
M4A1-S Spray Pattern Tutorial
Almost identical to its un-suppressed counterpart, the M4A1-S kicks off by sending the first 6 to 7 bullets straight up and then 3 to 4 bullets slightly to the left.
After that, the spray pattern follows another almost straight line toward the right for around 6 to 7 bullets.
Finally, the spray moves toward the left till it reaches the center position horizontally from where the spray started.
M4A1-S Recoil Control Technique
The easiest way to control the recoil of the M4A1-S is to move your crosshair along a path opposite to the spray pattern. The first part of this path would look like a straight line going downward and slightly tilting toward the right.
After that, the crosshair path would move toward the left without any vertical movements. Finally, the crosshair path should move straight toward the right in a horizontal line, ending directly below the center of the target or where the spray started.
TLDR
Conclusion
Now, you are well equipped to start learning the M4A1-S spray pattern and recoil control. Start practicing, and soon, you’ll have the recoil compensation path in your muscle memory. Fortunately, since the M4A4 has a similar spray pattern, learning the spray for either of the M4s would make learning the spray for the other much faster.
