Weapons

	SEAL Knife 2000 (SOG Model 37) Manufacturer: SOG Cost: Free Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: N/A Max Reserved Ammo: N/A Special Weapon Function: Stab Power: Low (Slash)/Medium (Stab) Range: Very Close Accuracy: High Up close (of course) Ammo: N/A Reload speed: N/A Cyclic rate: High (Slash)/Low (stab) Overview: This knife isn't very potent, but you may stab enemies for maximum damage. Slash (normal attack), for getting maximum speed, may just get you kill.		USP (Universal Self-Loading Pistol).45ACP Tactical Manufacturer: Heckler & Koch Cost: $500 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 12 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 48 Rounds Special Weapon Function: Attach/Detach Silencer Power: Medium-High Range: Medium Accuracy: Medium Ammo: .45 ACP (12- round clips) Reload speed: Fast Cyclic rate: High Overview: With a free silencer and a powerful caliber some would wonder if the Glock is useless, but the USP fails when compared to the number of rounds it holds. You can turn this into a fast firing demon by quickly tapping the fire button multiple times and aiming at the chest and head.
	Glock 18C Select Fire Manufacturer: Glock Cost: $400 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 20 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 120 Rounds Special Weapon Function: Switch Firing Modes Power: Medium (1 shot)/High (3 shots) Range: Medium-Short Accuracy: Medium Ammo: 9mm (20-round clips) Reload speed: Quick Cyclic rate: Very high (bursts)/Low (between bursts)/High (Semi Auto) Overview: The main pistol of the Terrorists (tangos), it is pretty accurate but deals less damage then it's USP counter-part. The three round burst really can make this pistol shine, though.		Desert Eagle .50 AE Manufacturer: Magnum Research/Israeli Military Industries Cost: $650 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 7 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 35 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: High Range: Medium Accuracy: Medium Ammo: .50AE slugs (7-round clips) Reload speed: Medium Cyclic rate: Medium Overview: With the penetration power of a G3 at close ranges, this baby packs a punch! A good first, second, and third round gun, or a if you just feel like kicking ass in style. A good choice for a back-up pistol as a sniper.
	P228 Manufacturer: SIG Sauer Cost: $600 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 13 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 53 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: High Range: Medium Accuracy: Medium Ammo: .357SIG (13-round clips) Reload speed: Medium-Slow Cyclic rate: High Overview: This fast smooth baby packs a huge punch against Kevlar, and holds 13 rounds to boot. Aim for the head or upper chest.		Dual 96G Elite Berettas (Terrorist Only) Manufacturer: Beretta Cost: $1000 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 15 rounds (30 for both weapons) Max Reserved Ammo: 120 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: Low Range: Medium Accuracy: Medium Ammo: 9mm (30-round clips) Reload speed: Medium-Slow Cyclic rate: High Overview: These weapons aren't very popular and don't serve a functional purpose. They're not powerful, not accurate, and not a good pair of guns. They look cool, though.
	FiveseveN (Counter-Terrorist Only) Manufacturer: Fabrique Nationale Cost: $750 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 20 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 100 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: Low Range: Medium Accuracy: High Ammo: 5.7mm (50-round clips) Reload speed: Medium-Slow Cyclic rate: High Overview: Deadly accurate, but no power to back it up. The FiveseveN's twenty round clip is good for killing off an enemy at long range. Perhaps a sniper's best friend. Perhaps.		M3 Super 90 Entry Manufacturer: Benelli Cost: $1700 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 8 shells Max Reserved Ammo: 32 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: Very high (up close)/Weak (over distance) Range: Medium Accuracy: Less accurate over distance Ammo: 12-Gauge shells (8-shell boxes) Reload speed: Medium Cyclic rate: Low Overview: The slower firing, pump action shotgun of CS, get up close and rip 'em up. A very under-used weapon, but a great one at that. At close range, this weapon is really deadly. Very useful. This weapon can't fire underwater.
	XM1014 (M4 Super 90) Manufacturer: Benelli/Heckler & Koch Cost: $3000 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 7 shells Max Reserved Ammo: 32 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: Very high (up close)/Weak (over distance) Range: Medium Accuracy: Less accurate over distance Ammo: 12-Gauge shells (8-shell boxes) Reload speed: Medium Cyclic rate: High Overview: The fully auto shotgun of CS, the xm1014 should be treated like the M3, only less accurate and faster firing capabilities. This weapon can't fire underwater.		MP5-Navy Manufacturer: Heckler & Koch Cost: $1500 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 30 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 120 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: Medium Range: Medium Accuracy: High Ammo: 9mm slugs (30-round mags) Reload speed: Very quick Cyclic rate: High Overview: By far the most used weapon in counter-strike. High accuracy, great reload time, and a great rate of fire, the MP5 rears it's ugly side against any kind of armor. The MP5 is the perfect choice for any situation, but can be out-gunned by the popular rifles.
	Steyr Tactical Machine Pistol (TMP) (Counter-Terrorists Only) Manufacturer: Steyr Cost: $1250 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 30 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 120 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: Low Range: Medium Accuracy: Medium Ammo: 9mm slugs (30-round mags) Reload speed: Quick Cyclic rate: Very High Overview: A cult hit, the TMP is silenced, fast and deadly, and accurate. If you need to make every dollar count, you could go with a TMP, but remember, it is VERY weak. The silencer does make the TMP a great weapon, it almost appears as if you're not firing; Enemies will not fear you and attack other CT's. Irony strikes there, because even with little power, this baby will kill quickly. Try using a TMP past the fourth round where everyone has assault rifles, and you'll still come out on top, if you have skill.		P90 Personal Defense Weapon Manufacturer: Fabrique Nationale Cost: $2350 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 50 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 100 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: High Range: High Accuracy: Medium Ammo: 5.7mm slugs (50-round mags) Reload speed: Slow Cyclic rate: Very High Overview: Kick ass SMG, this gun really relies on your personal preferences, you have to get used to medium accuracy for the high rate of fire, as above try it out. The fastest firing weapon in CS. It's fifty round clip will allow you to have a 20 round advantage over most enemies, if not more!
	MAC-10 (Terrorists only) Manufacturer: Ingram Cost: $1400 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 30 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 90 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: High Range: Short Accuracy: Low-Medium Ammo: .45ACP slugs (12-round mags) Reload speed: Quick Cyclic rate: Very High Overview: Pretty powerful and lacking accuracy, the MAC-10 is a typical compact terrorist weapon. It would fit the mold for a Terrorist TMP, but the MAC-10 is feared by many, and not considered a toy, unlike the TMP, which too many underestimate.		Universal Machinenpistole (UMP) Manufacturer: Heckler & Koch Cost: $1700 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 25 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 90 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: High Range: Medium-High Accuracy: Medium-High Ammo: .45ACP slugs (12-round mags) Reload speed: Slow Cyclic rate: Low Overview: The MP5-Navy's sister is powerful, but slow in reload and cyclic rate. Accuracy over speed may prove useful if you burst and take cover. Because of it's slow cyclic rate (the slowest in the game besides pistols), it proves useless. Unless this weapon is modified in the future, it's completely useless. Avoid it.
	Avtomat Kalashnikov Model 47 (AK-47) Manufacturer: Kalashnikov Cost: $2500 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 30 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 90 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: High Range: Medium Accuracy: High (Bursts)/Low (Full Auto) Ammo: 7.62mm slugs (30-round mags) Reload speed: Slow-Medium Cyclic rate: High Overview: A fast firing but inaccurate weapon for the average terrorist, get in close and take off their head. This weapon may be called inaccurate in some cases (like above), but it is probably one of the most accurate in the game if used correctly. Burst, duck, strafe. Aim for the chest and recoil will earn you a headshot. A deadly weapon.		SG-552 Commando (Terrorists Only) Manufacturer: SIG Cost: $3500 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 30 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 90 Rounds Special Weapon Function: 2x zoom Power: High Range: Very long Accuracy: Medium (Bursts)/Low (Full Auto) Ammo: 5.56mm slugs (30-round mags) Reload speed: Slow Cyclic rate: High Overview: A huge rate of fire, envied by even the m249, the Commando's accuracy becomes lack luster when you go full auto. Shoot in bursts and/or zoom a lot, to control the your aim.
	M4A1 Carbine with Silencer (Counter-Terrorists Only) Manufacturer: Colt Cost: $3100 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 30 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 90 Rounds Special Weapon Function: Attach/Detach Silencer Power: High Range: Medium Accuracy: Medium Ammo: 5.56mm slugs (30-round mags) Reload speed: Medium Cyclic rate: High Overview: One of the most versatile guns in CS, you'll find yourself using this a lot. It's stealthy, semi-accurate, and packs quite a punch. The silencer is optional, but does decrease damage. The pay off, of course, is that you're basically inaudible from a distance.		Steyr AUG A1 (Counter-Terrorists Only) Manufacturer: Steyr Cost: $3500 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 30 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 90 Rounds Special Weapon Function: 1.4x zoom Power: High Range: High Accuracy: High-Medium (Bursts)/Low-Medium (Full Auto) Ammo: 5.56mm slugs (30-round mags) Reload speed: Medium Cyclic rate: High Overview: One of the most powerful Counter-Strike weapons, the AUG is accurate and very deadly, if you've got the money. Perfect for long range combat, whereas the M4A1 is more Close Quarter Battle oriented. This weapon has a good zoom, but don't try firing it at full auto as the scope will simply bounce around.
	Scout Manufacturer: Steyr Cost: $2750 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 10 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 60 Rounds Special Weapon Function: 2.25x zoom/6x zoom Power: Medium Range: Large Accuracy: High Ammo: 7.62mm slugs (30-round mags) Reload speed: Medium Cyclic rate: Medium Overview: Need a cheap sniper rifle? Here's your toy! Duck and watch out for AWPers! The weapon isn't amazingly accurate, but a headshot will kill! If you kill someone with a scout, they'll be two things: impressed and disgraced. Arguably the true sniper rifle of CS, if you can own with a scout, you'll dominate with an AWP. The Scout takes skill, practice, and tactics.		Arctic Warfare Magnum (AWP or AWM) Manufacturer: Accuracy International Cost: $4750 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 10 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 30 Rounds Special Weapon Function: 2.25x zoom/9x zoom Power: Very High Range: Very Large Accuracy: Very high Ammo: .338 Lapua (10-round mags) Reload speed: Medium Cyclic rate: Low Overview: This brings the term one-shot-one-kill to life in Counter-Strike, this weapons weak points are it's zoom out period to bolt the weapon, and it's horrible performance in CQB, or Close Quarter Battle. Duck and zoom for full accuracy, but a strafe and stop should get you enough accuracy to get most players. It should be noted that, due to an oversight, this weapon is usually called the AWP, Arctic Warfare Police, but it is actually an AWM, or Arctic Warfare Magnum.
	G3/SG-1 Precision Sniper Rifle (Terrorist Only) Manufacturer: Heckler & Koch Cost: $5000 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 20 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 60 Rounds Special Weapon Function: 2.25x zoom/6x zoom Power: Medium-High Range: Large Accuracy: Medium Ammo: 7.62mm slugs (30-round mags) Reload speed: Slow Cyclic rate: High Overview: A semi-accurate, fast firing, and great looking sniper rifle from H&K. Not very accurate but you can get 5 bullets in your opponent before he hits the ground. Just hold down the trigger and let the bullets fly! Though, using it like an AWP with semi-auto firing, is much smarter. It should be noted that against any sort of good sniper/long range shooter, this weapon is entirely useless.		SG-550 Sniper Rifle (Counter-Terrorist Only) Manufacturer: SIG Cost: $4200 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 30 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 90 Rounds Special Weapon Function: 2.25x zoom/6x zoom Power: Medium Range: Large Accuracy: Medium Ammo: 5.56mm slugs (30-round mags) Reload speed: Slow Cyclic rate: High Overview: Less power than the G3/SG-1, a bigger clip, with everything else the same. The AWM is a much better weapon than this when it comes to sniping. Use this weapon for a more supportive assaulter role. Try to pick off assault rifle users from a distance, but be warned: The AWM dominates all.
	M249 PARA Light Machine Gun Manufacturer: Fabrique Nationale Cost: $5750 Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 100 rounds Max Reserved Ammo: 200 Rounds Special Weapon Function: None Power: High Range: Medium Accuracy: Medium Ammo: 5.56mm slugs (30-round mags) Reload speed: Very Slow Cyclic rate: High Overview: Holding a 100 rounds, being somewhat inaccurate, having a high rate of fire, and slowing the carrier down makes this gun great for laying down suppressive fire whilst ducking. Or, of course, you could rush and try to eliminate the other team with it. Chances are, however, that someone with an assault rifle will kill you, in the process making you look like an idiot. You can, however, kill from amazing distances if you use bursts.
