M4A1 Colt Carbine
Not to be confused with M16 A2 Rifle
M4A1 Colt Carbine is a Primary Rifle weapon that can be purchased from and sold to Big Al's Gun Shop.
The M4A1 Colt Carbine was one of the items available at the launch of Torn on 15 November 2004, having been introduced during the Torn City Beta.
The M4A1 Colt Carbine has a base fire rate between four to nine rounds per turn and can fire 30 rounds (over four to eight turns) without reloading. It has a stealth rating of 2.8.
Obtaining
The M4A1 Colt Carbine is most commonly obtained as a purchase from Big Al's. It can also be found through city finds and is a possible result from paying 75 job points to use the Private Security Firm 5* special, "Open Arsenal." [1]
1,000 M4A1 Colt Carbines will be restocked at Big Al's after being sold out. The amount of time before a restock occurs is half the time it took the item to sell out, rounded to the nearest 15 minutes.
M4A1 Colt Carbines can be bought from other players through the Item Market, Bazaars, or Trades, but as Primary weapons do not stack they must be purchased one by one, making it time consuming to buy in bulk.
A high quality M4A1 Colt Carbine with a Weapon Bonus can be obtained by opening a Medium Arms Cache. A M4A1 Colt Carbine obtained this way can have a Damage stat up to 70 and an Accuracy stat up to 62.
Usage
Due to their relatively high stats, M4A1 Colt Carbines with desirable Weapon Bonuses are sometimes used by players that can afford them for general attacking, Faction Warfare, Ranked Wars, and NPC looting.
