M4A1-S Damage by Range

| 0 m | 38 | 132 |
| 10 m | 36 | 126 |

The M4A1-S cannot one-shot headshot a helmeted opponent — even at point-blank range it takes more than one shot through a helmet.
Damage is per bullet against an unarmored target; body values assume a chest or arm hit and headshots apply a 3.48× multiplier.
In Counter-Strike 2, the M4A1-S is a Rifle-class weapon that deals 38 base damage and costs $2,900. Understanding where it fits in the buy menu — and how often it actually gets kills — is key to building an efficient loadout for both eco and full-buy rounds.
On the economy, the M4A1-S costs $2,900 and pays $300 per kill. Weigh that against your team’s buy: a strong kill share makes it a reliable full-buy option, while pricier picks are better saved for rounds you can afford to lose the weapon on.
