Trivia

 * Skull-4 will be the first weapon in the Skull series to have an even number in its name. Thus, it is highly likely that its Balrog series counterpart might also have an even number in its name.
 * The estimated time period between the Skull-4 and the release of the last Skull series weapon, that is the Skull-11 on April 26 2012, will be about one year long.
 * Skull-4's rate of fire is similar to Balrog-I.
 * Skull-4 is the first dual-wielded weapon that has usable holographic sights.
 * The holographic sights are tied to the guns with ropes and not well attached.
 * The reload animation is wrong, the user must pull the bolt after inserting new magazines.
 * Oddly, its weight is lighter than dual Skull-3's.
 * Skull-4 has the highest damage of all assault rifles.
 * Skull-4 has the third largest magazine capacity of all assault rifles after AK-47 60R and HK G11.
 * This is the first dual-wielded semi-automatic assault rifle in Counter-Strike Online.
 * Of course dual-wielded assault rifles will never be a very good choice in real-life. The user may face very high recoil and will be very difficult to aim.
