Okay, so the information is from the stats of what I've read from the pages. I'm gonna determine which is better, even though its hard to tell which is the true "best" since there is so many comparisons between the two assault rifles.

Disclamier: These are MY opinions and I'm not imposing them on you. Exact information was used before they were removed one update later, NOT including any previous versions. Also both the pages got estimates for the stats, but I'm gonna go with the number.

Versus:

-Price-

Let's start off with the price, so the Kalashnikova costs about 6,000$ and is quite affordable. It includes three attachments, the Ironsights (Supplied), Lazex 2AA (2,200$), Flashlight/GG-X (500$). If you include the cost of the gun and attachments altogether you got yourself around about 8,700$, which is still cheap.

So what about the M4A1? The gun itself costs 7,000$. It also includes a whooping six attachments, double that of the Kalashnikova. All the attachments included are the Ironsights (Supplied), TrueNite TN12 (3,000$), K5 Silencer (900$), XPS3-2 (800$), Fenix PD35 (2,800$), UTAH-23 (400$). Overall you got about 14,900$, still cheap though considering a HK416 costs 16,000$ and isn't really good.

So the Kalashnikova gets the win for being cheap!

-Statistics-

Okay, now for the main part which is the statistics.

-Kalashnikova

-Damage: 25 (~250 DPS)

-Range: 120

-Accuracy: 80

-Rate of Fire: 600

-Ammunition: 45/2

-Firing Modes:


 * Auto


 * Semi-auto

-M4A1

-Damage: 25 (~200 DPS)

-Range: 110

-Accuracy: 85

-Rate of Fire: 500

-Ammunition: 45/2

-Firing Modes:


 * Auto


 * Semi-auto


 * Burst

Looking at both the guns I notice the Kalashnikova has better DPS since the Rate of Fire is higher, and the M4A1 has DPS that will barely kill two normal zombies at 125 HP. The M4A1 has 10 less range than the Kalashnikova, but it has 5 more accuracy. Both guns still have identical accuracy, and 5 more doesn't affect gameplay that much.

The M4A1 doesn't run out of ammo as quick like the Kalashnikova, allowing you to conserve ammunition more efficiently in automatic mode at the supsense of DPS. Also if you are in burst mode and managed to land multiple headshots it can be considered deadlier then the Kalashnikova since you will do roughly 450 damage in three bursts. For the Kalashnikova you should switch to semi-auto to maintain good accuracy and use automatic mode when engaging with a Brute or Ticker.

This one is hard to decide, and I originally was gonna give them both points. I however decided to give it to the M4A1 since it does require skill to make it very deadly.

Kalashnikova: 1 | M4A1: 1

-Attachments-

Okay so I'm gonna see what the attachments do for the performances of these two guns, and hopefully we can get a winner. Also I am only gonna use the best attachments.

Kalashnikova Lazex 2AA (Underbarrel) and Ironsights (Optical Sights)

-Damage: 25 (~250 DPS)

-Range: 120 (+10 Range and +20 Range) = 150 Range

-Accuracy: 80

-Rate of Fire: 600

-Ammunition: 45/2

-Firing Modes:

*Auto

*Semi-auto

-M4A1 Ironsights (Optical Sights), UTAH-23 (Shoulder), K5 Silencer (Barrel), Fenix PD35 (did nothing when the M4A1 existed but add light)

-Damage: 25 (~200 DPS)

-Range: 110 (+20 Range, -20 Range) = 110 Range

-Accuracy: 85 (-0.5 Minimum spread, -4.4 Maximum Spread, +0.5 Hipfire, +20 Accuracy) = 105 Accuracy + Less Spread

-Rate of Fire: 500

-Ammunition: 45/2

-Firing Modes:

*Auto

*Semi-auto

*Burst

The Kalashnikova only gets a buff big in range, allowing for better medium-ranged shots. For the M4A1 instead of buffed range you get more accuracy, which is pretty good. Quite big differences between the two, which is interesting.

Winner is the M4A1, since I perfer accuracy over range.
