The M4A1-S is an M4 Carbine weapon variant with a silencer for the CTs. It gives players a decent advantage through its silencer; some even think it feels much better than the default M4A4. At least most of the M4A1-S skins are cheaper than its M4A4 brother.
If you think the M4A1-S is the best weapon in CS:GO, or if you just really love using the gun, you’re in for a treat today. Here are the 10 best M4A1-S skins that you can buy in 2023.
