MS4

Spread: | 5

*Very light, very accurate, very deadly - all those phrases describe the **MS4** - an assault carbine offered by the Merchant's Guild to anyone willing to pay the premium to get their hands on this battle proven rifle. Combining low recoil and spread with a relatively fast rate of fire the MS4 offers tons of tactical option at the expense of slightly decreased range and damage. Uses 5.56mm Ammo.*

* The **MS4** is one of three currently available Assault Rifles in Shattered Skies. It is arguably the rarest Assault Rifle that you can find (From **MERCENARY**+). The **MS4 Rifle** is the best weapon for the **CQC** and **Medium Range** combat since it is an Assault Rifle that boasts the highest rate of fire in the game. Like all the other Assault Rifles, The **MS4** can be found just about anywhere.

* The **MS4** has a standard range ratio, so it's no better or worse than it's peers at range, bar the **AK12S** **.** The **MS4** has the highest rate of fire of all the currently available **Assault Rifles** and has more than adequate spread for **Close Range** and **Medium Range** encounters.

* The **MS4** along with all the other available **Assault Rifles** uses the 5.56 Ammo type which is a common type of Ammo so you should never have an issue finding Ammunition to feed the rifle.

* The **MS4** and **COG** design are pretty simple. A dark green and gray paint job covers whole weapon.

* The **MK3-MK5** (**MERCENARY** to **ELITE**) get a small paint job re-work. Instead of using a dark green colors, the high tier **MS4** rifles are black, with small red endings of the parts, also the stock gets covered in the carbon fiber, as the markings "**HON-B"** can be read on the left had side of the rifle, behind the extractor.
