fellowship was fun... the drawing other ppl's faces time though was messed up...

call me stupid, but i REALLY realized the full potential of the m4a1 when playing tonight... in cs...

i always assumed the pros/cons of having a silenced m4a1 were these:

+silenced; absolutely no sound
-weaker damage per hit(due to the muffled sound); it's not TERRIBLY weaker when silenced(m4's still pretty powerful even when silenced), but it's a slight downgrade
-worse accuracy per hit

the 1st two were more or less on the money; however, after i fooled around a bit, the 3rd needs to be modified; the 1st hit that you fire is going to be a bit more accurate if you are standing still with an unsilenced m4; HOWEVER, the silenced m4a1 has less kickback afterwards, so you don't have to wait as long after firing in 2-bursts to regain good accuracy. stupid me... so, whereas i used to stick w/the unsilenced m4a1 til near the end, when i was alone, and then stuck the silencer on, i now think that maybe it's a better idea to stick w/the silenced version, til maybe i get into more up-close situations or circumstances where i need to fire through a boulder to reach the enemy, to use it. and you can't argue w/results; i ended up doing a LOT better whenever i played w/a silenced m4 today than not.
