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)

Secondary Weapons
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

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

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.
Primary Weapons
Shotguns
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.
Sub-Machine Guns
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.
Rifles
IMI Galil (Terrorist Only)
Manufacturer: Israeli Military Industries
Cost: $2000
Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 35 rounds
Max Reserved Ammo: 90 Rounds
Special Weapon Function: None
Power: Medium
Range: Medium
Accuracy: Medium-High (Bursts)/Medium-Low (Full Auto)
Ammo: .308 Caliber (35-round mags)
Reload speed: Medium-Fast
Cyclic rate: High
Overview: A highly effective terrorist weapon when money
is tight. More controllable recoil when spraying compared to the AK 47,
but slightly less damage. Accuracy goes down with range. An all around
solid weapon with 5 extra rounds delivering the extra edge you'll need
to take out your opponent.
FAMAS (Counter-Terrorist Only)
Manufacturer: Groupement Industriel des Armements Terrestres
Cost: $2250
Ammo Per Clip/Ammo Held in Weapon: 25 rounds
Max Reserved Ammo: 90 Rounds
Special Weapon Function: Three-Round Burst
Power: Medium
Range: Medium
Accuracy: Medium-High (Three-Round Burst)/Low (Full Auto)
Ammo: 5.56mm NATO (25-round mags)
Reload speed: Slow-Medium
Cyclic rate: High
Overview: A low cost rifle for the counter-terrorist. Not
a whole lot of power, but the three-round burst makes it suitable for
delivering three bullets to your opponent's face fairly accurately,
although there is a slight cool-down time between burst, which makes
using it dangerous at closer ranges. Better at long ranges than the MP5
due to the burst function, otherwise forget 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.
Machine Guns
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. Equipment!!
Purchasable Equipment
Vest (& Helmet)
Cost: $650/$1000
Stopping Power: Medium (chest and arms)/Little (head)
Overview: Use this to give yourself the power to take a few more hits. Most CS veterans buy this combination every round, so be prepared to spend the big bucks if you want to survive the battles.
Tactical Shield IIIA (Counter-Terrorist Only)
Cost: $2200
Stopping Power: Impenetrable
Overview: When deployed you are invulnerable to frontward
attacks, but suffer a movement penalty and cannot shoot. When not
deployed it hangs off to the side offering less protection, but allows
you to shoot. This item can only be used with pistols.
Flash Bang Grenade
Cost: $200
Power: Medium
Range: Medium
Max Held: 2
Overview: This baby will blind people. Use to clear campers and as a large distraction, but watch out! It blinds teammates, also.
High Explosive Grenade (a.k.a. HE Gren)
Cost: $300
Power: High
Range: Medium
Max Held: 1
Overview: This is a grenade that explodes and produces a
small radius blast. If someone gets a direct hit, they can get knocked
down to 25 health points (of, if it magically hits their head, to 0).
Use to injure people or kill people who are on their last leg.
Smoke Gas Grenade (aka SG Grenade)
Cost: $300
Power: N/A
Range: Large
Max Held: 1
Overview: When you throw this grenade it spits out smoke. Eventually, it will blanket a large area. A vital tool for an offensive team.
Defuser (Thigh Packs) (Counter-Terrorists Only)
Cost: $200
Defuse Time: 5 seconds
Overview: This holds the defuser, if you're you're a CT and
it's on the ground, pick the pack up to get a defuser. If it's on a
person he has a defuser. 'Use' C4 with this item to defuse the bomb.
You may defuse without it, but it takes twice as long (10 seconds).
Night Vision Goggles
Cost: $1250
Overview: Very useful on any setup, but may slow down your
computer to single digit fps. It creates a large light around yourself
which lights up the environment and other players. Good item, but a
huge price.
Given Equipment
C4 Explosives (Terrorists Only)
Power: A wee-bit large.
Range: huge
Max Held: 1 max
Defuse Time: 10 seconds (default)/5 seconds (defuser)
Overview: This is C4. If you see it planted: run. If you're a
CT 'use' it and defuse the bomb, it'll take a while to do it so be
patient. You must select C4 from slot5 and hold down fire to plant it.
When planted it emits a red flash and an accelerating beep.
C4 Backpack (Terrorists Only)
Overview: This holds the C4 for Terrorists. If this is on
someone, he has C4. If you see it on the ground, run over it to pick it
up and get the C4.
