The confusion was caused since they both have their pros and cons. So noobs2pro decided to end it once and for all. We checked up and tested both guns. SO here are all the details you need and the final answer is as follows:

CS:GO – Which is better M4A4 OR M4A1-S?

• 

• 

M4A4 – Suited for Aggressive gameplay style

Pros:  More Ammo Capacity, and Higher fire rate (So more damage in less time). Best for Mid and close fighters.

Cons: It is Loud and thus easy for players to spot you. In smoke, its easy to notice the gun flash, and thus your position. Higher recoil makes it harder to aim unless you have practiced the recoil pattern well. If you can control AK-47 then this spray is easy

M4A1-S – Suited for Sneaky Players who prefer to stay back and fight.

Pros: The silencer makes it very difficult for enemies to spot you from the sound of the gun. And at long range and in smoke its almost impossible to tell where the shot came from. Lower Recoil makes it very easy to aim and you get perfect headshots with almost zero recoil.

Cons: Low Fire rate so low damage in close-quarter fights. Less ammo capacity so you can out of bullets pretty fast. The silencer sticks out and can give away your location on short corners. Enemy players can see the silencer barrel when you are hidden in certain corners.

M4A1-S or M4A4 – which do CS: GO pros use?

As far as I know, Pros such as G2 kennyS, G2 Shox, apeX, and Navi Edward often favor the M4A1-S over M4A4 due to its stealth abilities. The other CS: GO pros tend to use the M4A4. Players like FaZe Niko, NaVi s1mple, and Astralis dev1ce, etc are major M4A4 players.
