Strategies
Tactics
- The M4A4 has high accuracy and low recoil, especially when fired in bursts. However, spraying bullets is not always recommended, unless you're in close proximity with the enemy.
- At longer ranges, burst fire, unless an opponent has a sniper rifle, like the AWP.
- In medium and close ranges, you can spray bullets at the torso or stomach. Be sure that you are accustomed to the recoil however.
- This rifle can easily counter assailants armed with higher recoil and/or lower rate of fire weapons. Examples include the AK-47 and the SG 553.
Counter-Tactics
- If you were ambushed by a M4A4 user, try to disengage with users at close range as soon as possible. Use a flashbang and maintain distance.
- Although risky, the AK-47 is considered somewhat better to use at close proximity as it inflicts higher damage.

Trivia
- The M4A4 is the only somewhat fictional weapon in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive by name (M4A4 Sherman is a tank designed and made during World War II). The naming scheme "A4" most likely comes from the misnomer of the M16A4.
- The M4A4 is based on the Mark 18 Mod 0, which is a modified M4A1 equipped with the Close Quarters Battle Receiver, or Bushmaster M4 Type Carbine, which is a reproduction of the Colt M4 Carbine for civilian and law enforcement markets.
- The M4A4 originally had a different firing sound, but during the development of the game, it was changed to sound much more like the original M4A1.
- The M4A4 shares its reload animation with the M4A1-S and SCAR-20.
- In the CS:GO game files, the sound for the M4A4 is still in the folder "M4A1" and still has the prefix, "M4A1".
