CS:Source Strat Guide Pt.3

Ingram Mac-10 [Terrorist Weapon]

Price: $1400

Country of Origin: United States of America

Caliber: .45 ACP

Clip Capacity: 30 Rounds

Rate of Fire: 857 RPM

Weight (Loaded): 3.82 kg

Projectile Weight: 15.2 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 919 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 584 Joules

Review: Like the H&K UMP, the Mac-10 uses .45 ACP ammunition much like the USP pistol. If you look at the Mac-10 you’ll see that it is basically a one-handed weapon. Therefore, its recoil will cause the gun to jump wildly and the bullet spray will be wide, with little chance to hit much. Other than the Para, I’d say that this weapon is the most inaccurate. Unless you’re firing in a hallway you won’t hit anything. Don’t even think you’ll hit anything long-range with the Mac-10, you’re better off using your pistol.

Rifles:

FAMAS [Counter-Terrorist Weapon]

Price: $2250

Country of Origin: France

Caliber: 5.56 NATO

Clip Capacity: 25 Rounds

Rate of Fire: 1100 RPM

Weight (Loaded): 3.40 kg

Projectile Weight: 4 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 2212 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 1712 Joules

Review: The Counter-Terrorist’s version of a cheap, accurate weapon, much like the Terrorist’s Galil. If you’re down on money, the FAMAS is an excellent choice, if you’re shooting long-range use the weapon’s 3-round burst. One or two bursts on this setting will kill an opponent with extreme accuracy. When fighting close combat use the full automatic setting which has SMG accuracy with rifle power. One major drawback of this weapon is the slightly smaller than average 25-round clips. If you want to have accuracy with each shot long range, this is definitely your weapon. Using the three-round burst you will be pin-point with each fire.

Steyr Scout

Price: $2750

Country of Origin: Austria

Caliber: 7.62 NATO

Clip Capacity: 10 Rounds

Rate of Fire: N/A

Weight (Loaded): 3.3 kg

Projectile Weight: 8 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 2800 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 2200 Joules

Review: A real sniper’s choice of a rifle. Unlike the AWP or any of the auto sniper rifles, the scout actually takes skill. A well-place chest or head shot will kill someone, but anywhere else two shots are required. If you run into someone with this weapon out, it is useless without zoom. Therefore, be ready to switch to your pistol for close encounters. With the Scout being so lightweight, you are able to run as fast as when your knife is equipped.

Colt M4A1 [Counter-Terrorist Weapon]

Price: $3100

Country of Origin: United States of America

Caliber: 5.56 NATO

Clip Capacity: 30 Rounds

Rate of Fire: 685 RPM

Weight (Loaded): 3.22 kg

Projectile Weight: 4 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 2900 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 1570 Joules

Review: In the opinion of most the M4A1 is the best all-around weapon in CS. Some prefer the Colt with a silencer attached, and some prefer no silencer. Either way, I don’t think that there’s much difference in the weapon’s performance. Long range with a well aimed single shot, one can take out an opponent easily. While it can be inaccurate spraying down a hallway, you can easily kill an opponent using full auto. My personal favorite, this weapon is proficient in every area and therefore will be the weapon most seen while playing.

Steyr AUG [Counter-Terrorist Weapon]

Price: $3500

Country of Origin: Austria

Caliber: 5.56 NATO

Clip Capacity: 30 Rounds

Rate of Fire: 727 RPM

Weight (Loaded): 4.09 kg

Projectile Weight: 4 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 2900 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 1570 Joules

Review: A favorite weapon of mine for those maps with wide open areas. With its zoom feature, the AUG can be deadly accurate, and will rival any sniper rifle. If you use single shot while zoomed, you’re shots shouldn’t spray too wildly, and are likely to hit your target. However, I don’t recommend holding down your mouse button while zoomed. Despite its long range pluses, the AUG fairs well in close combat and thus should be used in each. Close range, you’ll likely receive results that match the Colt M4A1, with the AUG using the same caliber ammunition, and having the same muzzle velocity and recoil.

Sig 550 [Counter-Terrorist Weapon] [Not Allowed on PAF Server]

Price: $4200

Country of Origin: Switzerland

Caliber: 5.56 NATO

Clip Capacity: 30 Rounds

Rate of Fire: N/A

Weight (Loaded): 7.02 kg

Projectile Weight: 4 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 3100 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 1650 Joules

AWP [Not Allowed on PAF Server]

Price: $4750

Country of Origin: United Kingdom

Caliber: .338 Lapua Magnum

Clip Capacity: 10 Rounds

Rate of Fire: N/A

Weight (Loaded): 6 kg

Projectile Weight: 16.2 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 3000 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 7000 Joules

Galil [Terrorist Weapon]

Price: $2000

Country of Origin: Israel

Caliber: .223

Clip Capacity: 35 Rounds

Rate of Fire: 675 RPM

Weight (Loaded): 4.35 kg

Projectile Weight: 4 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 2013 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 1712 Joules

Review: The cheapest rifle in the game, the Galil also has the largest capacity of ammunition; 35 rounds. Although the Galil doesn’t have an actual burst-round setting, clicking the fire button will shoot a few shots that rival the FAMAS’ accuracy. If you don’t shoot full-auto and merely hold fire for a few moments you will spray in a small area, must like that of an SMG. For price, you can’t beat the Galil for its power and accuracy.

AK-47 [Terrorist Weapon]

Price: $2500

Country of Origin: Russia

Caliber: 7.62 NATO

Clip Capacity: 30 Rounds

Rate of Fire: 600 RPM

Weight (Loaded): 4.79 kg

Projectile Weight: 7.9 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 2329 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 1992 Joules

Review: Terrorist mainstay weapon, much like the Colt of the Counter-Terrorists. However, the AK is also the most inaccurate rifle. Long-range you’ll receive more power than a Colt, but you’d better hit the other person with the first two single shots. Medium-to-short range to hit an opponent you must basically “pray and spray.” Sometimes you’ll be a few feet away from a person and not hit them at all, and other times you’ll receive lucky headshots.

Sig 552 [Terrorist Weapon]

Price: $3500

Country of Origin: Switzerland

Caliber: 5.56 NATO

Clip Capacity: 30 Rounds

Rate of Fire: 727 RPM

Weight (Loaded): 3.1 kg

Projectile Weight: 4 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 2900 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 1570 Joules

H&K G3 [Terrorist Weapon] [Not Allowed on PAF Server]

Price: $5000

Country of Origin: Germany

Caliber: 7.62 NATO

Clip Capacity: 20 Rounds

Rate of Fire: N/A

Weight (Loaded): 4.41 kg

Projectile Weight: 8 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 2800 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 2200 Joules

Heavy Weapons:

M249 Para

Price: $5750

Country of Origin: Belgium

Caliber: 5.56 Parabellum

Clip Capacity: 100 Rounds

Rate of Fire: 600 RPM

Weight (Loaded): 6 kg

Projectile Weight: 4 grams

Muzzle Velocity: 3000 Feet/ Second

Muzzle Energy: 1600 Joules

Review: The ultimate support weapon for that rush to the bombsite or down a crowded corridor. With a massive 100 round magazine, the Para can go for quite so time without being reloaded. However, when you need to reload, you’ll notice that it’ll take many venerable seconds. Overall, this gun is not worth the most expensive price tag in the game. You may be able to hit someone long range with your first, well-placed shot but after that, good luck. Even at close range, shooting at full-auto you’re not likely to hit anything. However when there’s a group of the enemy the Para will damage each one equally.
