Let's have a poll!

M4A3 CCO for me is probably the best weapon in the game.

Brilliant range, low recoil, not too loud and 30 in a mag.

[rooneye 135]

The A3 is the one with the front grip, right? If so then thats the one that should have the better accuracy and recoil, but in game is that the case?

Maybe a more fair comparison would be the M4A1 CCO vs the M4A1 Holo? But I would imagine those two have the exact same stats in game anyway? So it purely comes down to preference. But the A3 SHOULD be better than the A1 IMO

Yeah, A3 has the rail-mounted foregrip and less recoil than the M4A1.

They are equal in damage, noise, rate of fire - only difference is reduced recoil with the A3 (M4A1 has Grenade Launcher though)

Edit: Forgot A3 has flashlight, very good at night for scouting (without NVG) and blinding those with NVG.

nowaday, DAYZ has no more unlimited ammo, so I need to rethink about the useful of a grenade launcher.( Use it or drop the 40mm grenade for some pistol mags )

That's the reason I love M4A3 lesser recoil than M4A1 HOLO, good effective in 100m to 300m, flashlight are available to use. I can still hot the target when I am moving

^^

I forgive you.

I think those are the only 2 with a noob-tube on them anyway. Far too many variations to keep track of :P

Do u really know the AR15 family?

I recall reading somewhere that the flashlight didn't work on the gun. Has that been rectified?

[Welch (DayZ) 756]

Holographic site is garbage looking, it's like worse than Iron sights. The M203 does help, though.

It does work. The lasers dont though.

Not entirely sure, I've never really used the flashlight on it - can't confirm if it's been fixed although I don't think it's broken?

[sarge11111 22]

IRL recoil is not an issue between the 2, unless considering the 203 or 230.

having used the holo (EO Tech), I prefer this for allowing some margin of error, easier to lead and get center-mass in game.

[hung_alchemist@yahoo.com.hk 22]

203 only help on shooting flare and smoke grenade haha

eotech is good in real life, in game it is not much good at Aimpoint

i test A3 and A1holo in 300m result is A3 4 shots kill a person, A1 holo need 7 shots

Forty mike mike HE is where the difference lies.

[Sutinen 635]

M4A3 all the way. I have found a regular M4A1 and an M4A3. Not the holo though.

[ZomboWTF 527]

The grenade launcher from the Holo is very good against people barricading in an area when you have grenades for it, also good to let zombies run away from you with smoke grenades or blind NVG users with flares

The M4A3 has less recoil and a little bit better accuracy, and a flashlight on top of that

all in all... i still prefer the M16A4 ACOG :P

the m4a1 holo however has much more usability in a lot of situations, and you are not limited to shoot in a straigth line with the grenade launcher

If i would see both lying there, it would be the choice wether i have grenades on me or not really... both are good

[LegitOldSchool 261]

I personally can't stand the holo sight. It impedes shooting at long range because it's too obtrusive, and if you have a heavy light source in your back the sight just becomes useless.

The red dot also gets milky when a light source is behind you, though the red dot IS more accurate than the weird crosshair of the holo sight

In DayZ they do the exact same damage and range so I dont see how this is like this?

And the guy prefering the M16 acog :D That isnt fair! You cant compare those :P they're totally different guns.

I seem to see the m4 holo having LESS recoil. I don't think having a grip would make much difference anyway. I can go fully auto on a target within 200 meters with both, although the holo seems to have almost non-existant recoil and IMO a better sight. Even if I'm wrong, which is better, slightly less recoil, better sight (although that is opinion) or a fucking grenade launcher that can shoot flares for night, smoke for zombies and for concealment, and high explosive 40 millimeter grenades?

[Inception. 9443]

I think you are all forgetting the length of the barrel on the Holo. It is shorter than the M4A3's, therefore is more useful in close combat situations.

Also, why have either of these weapons when you can have the M14? More damage, faster fire-rate, more range...ammo is almost as easy to find as Stanag.

But then again, it is far louder. And doesn't have a flashlight.

So without a flashlight you could completely disregard the M14 and my second paragraph.

Tin cans <3

[Parasprite 35]

I would use the A3 with no sniper rifle in pack, but if I did have a long ranged gun in my backpack I would use the Holo as the sight is quite effective for CQB and the M203 can do some nifty stuff. Either way, give me an M14, Mk 48, or M4 SD. The existence of the 7.62 Aimpoint guns kill the A3 and Holo's usefulness as CQB weapons, and if you want something which isn't noisy you have the M4 SD.

[jdz (DayZ) 238]

M14 all day, erry day. Although I did get a kill with the M4A3 the other day. A guy shot at my friend so I shot and killed him with my M24 and his friend tried to flank me so I took him out with my M4 at 20m. It worked really well, perfect gun for the situation.
