CS 1.6 Pistols

Pistols are secondary weapons – slot 2. All players start each round with their team’s default pistol (Glock-18 for Terrorists, USP for Counter-Terrorists) at no cost.

Gun	Team	Damage	RPM	Recoil	Magazine	Price	Buy Command
Glock-18	T only	28	400	Low	20+120	$400	buy glock
USP	CT only	34	400	Low	12+100	$500	buy usp
P228	Both	37	450	Medium	13+52	$600	buy p228
Desert Eagle	Both	63	250	High	7+35	$650	buy deagle
Five-SeveN	CT only	34	400	Medium	20+100	$750	buy fiveseven
Dual Berettas (Elite)	T only	30	450	Medium	30+120	$800	buy elite

Notes: Glock-18 has a secondary fire mode (full-auto burst). USP has a silencer toggle. Desert Eagle can one-shot headshot through helmets at close range – the most powerful pistol in the game per shot.

Counter-Strike 1.6 Submachine Guns (SMGs)

SMGs occupy slot 1. High fire rate and good mobility make them effective at close range and useful for eco rounds when budget is limited.

Gun	Team	Damage	RPM	Recoil	Magazine	Price	Buy Command
MP5 Navy	Both	28	600	Medium	30+120	$1500	buy mp5navy
TMP	CT only	20	750	Low	18+72	$1250	buy tmp
MAC-10	T only	28	800	High	30+100	$1400	buy mac10
UMP45	Both	35	500	Medium	25+100	$1700	buy ump45
P90	Both	26	666	Low	50+100	$2350	buy p90

Notes: MP5 is the most versatile SMG – good accuracy at medium range makes it viable beyond eco rounds. P90 with 50-round magazine is effective for rushing through choke points. MAC-10 highest RPM of any SMG.

CS 1.6 Rifles

Rifles are the primary weapons in competitive CS 1.6 play. AK-47 and M4A1 are the standard T and CT rifles. Slot 1.

Gun	Team	Damage	RPM	Recoil	Magazine	Price	Buy Command
Galil	T only	30	600	Medium	35+90	$2000	buy galil
FAMAS	CT only	30	600	Medium	25+90	$2250	buy famas
AK-47	T only	36	600	High	30+90	$2500	buy ak47
SG-552	T only	34	600	Medium	30+90	$3500	buy sg552
M4A1	CT only	33	600	Medium	30+90	$3100	buy m4a1
AUG	CT only	34	600	Medium	30+90	$3500	buy aug

Notes: AK-47 one-shot headshot kills through helmets – the most cost-effective rifle in the game. M4A1 requires two headshots but has lower recoil and a silencer option. Galil and FAMAS are budget alternatives for half-buy rounds. SG-552 and AUG have a zoom scope for mid-range precision.

Counter-Strike 1.6 Shotguns

Shotguns fire multiple pellets per shot. Extremely effective at close range, near-useless at distance. Slot 1.

Gun	Team	Damage	RPM	Recoil	Magazine	Price	Buy Command
M3 (pump-action)	Both	34 per pellet x9	70	High	8+32	$1700	buy m3
XM1014 (auto)	Both	28 per pellet x6	180	Medium	7+32	$3000	buy xm1014

Notes: M3 deals the highest per-shot damage of any weapon in CS 1.6 at point-blank range. XM1014 semi-automatic fire allows faster follow-up shots. Both shotguns are niche picks used mainly for tight map areas (cs_assault, de_inferno tunnels).

CS 1.6 Sniper Rifles

Sniper rifles use zoom scope (Mouse2). Slot 1. Movement speed is heavily penalized while scoped.

Gun	Team	Damage	RPM	Recoil	Magazine	Price	Buy Command
Scout	Both	85	100	Medium	10+90	$2750	buy scout
AWP	Both	115	41	Very High	10+30	$4750	buy awp
G3SG1	T only	70	300	High	20+90	$5000	buy g3sg1
SG550	CT only	65	300	Medium	30+90	$4200	buy sg550

Notes: AWP one-shot kills to any body part except legs – the most feared weapon in CS 1.6. Scout is cheaper and allows faster movement, preferred for aggressive sniper play. G3SG1 and SG550 are semi-automatic scoped rifles – less precise than AWP but faster follow-up shots.

Counter-Strike 1.6 Machine Guns

Machine guns have massive magazine capacity for sustained suppressive fire. Slot 1. Very high recoil and slow movement while firing.

Gun	Team	Damage	RPM	Recoil	Magazine	Price	Buy Command
M249	Both	32	650	High	100+200	$5750	buy m249

Notes: M249 is the most expensive weapon in CS 1.6. Rarely used in competitive play due to high cost and poor accuracy while moving. Effective for holding choke points with continuous suppressive fire.

HE Grenade	Both	Up to 98 damage, blast radius	$300	buy hegrenade
Flashbang	Both	Blinds players facing the detonation	$200	buy flashbang
