Same with me,

In dark maps sometimes your shooting at guys.... or girls and they dont know were its comming from there looking around its pretty funny after you own them.

I like the SD because if i'm ever the last one left on any map i can lay low and take out terr without them seeing me. It helped me take out all 8 in a round before. But if i can't shoot worth **** that day, i use the unsilenced just because it's easier to use.

I sort of think that both guns are sort of the same. I ususally play with the M4A1 SD because I like the games that have a stealth approach, but I dont get why people sometimes rush with a SD. But out of both of them, I like the M4A1 best.

Alright... there is no difference in power between the M4A1 and M4A1SD. They're both 5.56 mm, and both shoot the round straight through the guy, so why would the SD be any less powerful? Both are 3 chest shot kill guns. And yeah, I never use the unsilenced one, and I barely use the SD, but I'm starting to use it again more after learning how to use M16.

Of course the silenced one is less powerful, thats the cost you accept for taking a silenced gun! LOL. Why would anyone in the game ever use the regular m4a1 if the silenced one was equal in power?

^Um.. no? They both take 3 chest shots to kill someone. Maybe the SD takes more arm/leg shots, but you're never going to kill them anyway if you keep hitting them in the arm. People have their reasons for using regular M4, maybe they don't know when they're shooting with the silenced. I saw one guy on this site that said that. My clan members use the unsilenced because they "don't like the SD." How's that for a reason? Bottom line, equal power... go test it out for yourself.

Sorry to say but your wrong man.

The M4A1-SD is like my favorite gun in the whole game. The penalty for the silencer is less power. However it also has less recoil and is more accurate. Anyway I thought everyone knew this. Disagree if you want, I'm not going to argue about something so trivial, but everyone knows the SD is weaker, yet it pays for that weakness in silence and accuracy.

Thanks for that awesome proof that I'm wrong- "everyone knows this." Everyone also "knows" that vigilance is laggy when it's actually a frame rate drop, not lag. I agree that it's stupid to argue, I felt like a loser typing out an argument about a video game but yeah, I don't believe you or anyone that tells me that an SD is weaker; I go from experience, and I've always gotten kills in 3 shots with both guns.
