M4A4 | Griffin (Field-Tested)

More accurate but less damaging than its AK-47 counterpart, the M4A4 is the full-auto assault rifle of choice for CTs. It has been hand-painted with an illustration of a griffin. Felix handpicked his team from operators all over the world... and while people question their personalities, they never question the results
