M4

The M4 is an assault rifle in Wardogs that fires 5.56x45mm. It does 28 damage per hit at 800 rounds per minute and costs $2,800. Against an unarmored 100 HP target it needs 4 hits.
Is the M4 good?
The M4 is A tier on our tier list and ranks 2 of 8 assault rifles on time to kill through level 2 armor.
With standard ammo it takes 4 shots to the chest to kill an unarmored player (225 ms), 6 through level 2 armor (375 ms) and 10 through level 4 (675 ms).
The right ammo changes that: hollow point rounds kill an unarmored player in 2 shots, armor piercing cuts level 4 to 7 shots (450 ms).
Legs are never armored, so 4 shots to the upper leg kill even a level 4 player with hollow point ammo.
No cheaper assault rifle matches it through level 2 armor. The FAL is faster, at $6,500.
