=== Price and ammunition ===
The standard variant of M4 costs the same as the [[AK-47]]; £1000 with discounts for commandos of £100 per level down to a current minimum of £300. Conversely the M4 203 is one of the most expensive weapons in the game, with a base cost of £2750. Discounts are given to demolitions players of £275 per level to a current minimum of £825. The ammunition costs £1 for three bullets, equating to £10 per magazine of thirty bullets. The M203 grenades cost £10 each; the same as the grenades in the [[M32 grenade launcher|M32]] and [[M79 grenade launcher|M79]], and can be stocked up to twelve.

At levels 3 and above with commando the magazine capacity is increased to <span class="explain" title="Technically 37.5, rounded down.">37</span> bullets. The total ammo reserve of the M4 increases with this accordingly to from 400 bullets to 500, however the ammo reserve size of M4 203 remains static.

=== Damage ===
The base damage for the M4's primary fire is 35 per shot; that's in the middle, compared to 26 of the [[bullpup]] and 45 of the AK-47. However, it actually has the highest rate of fire of the assault rifles with RPM of 750, so its active before reload [[help:glossary#DPS|DPS]] is actually higher than that of the AK-47 and Bullpup. While M4 loses its damage per second after reload, its large ammunition pool makes up for it to sustain.

When fired off perk, M4 will deal 1050 damage over the course of 2.32 seconds, this makes an impressive 452.6 dps while after reload it reduces down to 198.5 damage per second. When fired by a level 6 Commando, scoped M4 deals 1924 damage over the course of 2.88 damage before reload which makes up for 668 damage per second before reload. After reload dps reduces down to 406.2 over 4.74 seconds. M203 variant M4 will suffer slightly lower damage per second from automatic fire because its reload time is slightly lengthier than scoped M4 variant; M4/M203 has 3.63 second magazine reload while scoped M4 has 2.97 seconds and firing in bursts which paces away the tripplet bursted bullets. While offering a huge damage per second, bearer should remember M4 recoils and showing matching performance to its theoretical damage depends on recoil mitigation or controlling it.

The M203 grenade launcher on the demolition variant functions identically to the M79 grenade launcher, save for its smaller grenade stock of 12 total compared to M79's abundant 24 shots. M203 grenade loads up in 3.33 seconds and shares the same reload time with M79. Demolition perk receives up to 60% damage bonus for grenades while Commando can reload them faster.
