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.

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.

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.

Overview: This fast smooth baby packs a huge punch against Kevlar, and holds 13 rounds to boot. Aim for the head or upper chest.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
