Glock 18

Caliber: 9mm
Price: $400

ahl
I don't use glock that often, but if I do, it's on pistol rounds if we are doing quick rushes in close range areas. One example is to rush ramp on de_nuke. If you use it with an armor you get an advantage since the CT's will have more trouble killing you. It's even harder for them if you jump and shoot, because the hitboxes are not accurate then. Most of the people use burst fire with glock, but I always use single fire. It's just my personal preference. Glock rushes are effective, but I'm rather the guy with a USP and flash on the pistol rounds. I let my teammates handle the glock.

I use this gun as T sometimes on pistol rounds with kevlar. It's really good to have burst fire and jump around like a monkey cause then they can't hit your head so easily and the USP shots doesn't take so much damage on you when you have a kevlar. Single fire is great if you just rush some place. If you manage to put a bullet in the head of the enemy he will "bob" and can't aim at you and you will take him down quite easily.
ElemenT
Glock in gunrounds can be crucial, I like to have at least one team mate to back me up, then a guy with a USP will have to have alot of luck to manage to kill both terrorists. Glock with burst fire and jumping is ownage. If I'm the first guy in line with the glock, I like to use the semi fire to try to bob the enemy, if I'm behind my teammates I like to use the burst fire and jump like a rabbit to avoid getting shot back in the head.
fisker
This is the only gun wich you can jump and still hit where you aim. It is very good at gunrounds since no one can buy helmet which means that you can kill the enemy with only one burst. I try to first shoot two or three single fire shots at the enemy to slow him down and after that I switch to burst fire and jump against him aiming for his head. Buy armor with this weapon to get less damage from HE grenades.
HeatoN
Great on pistol rounds together with armor. Five rushing terrorists with glock is very hard to stop. Burst fire in close combat, combined with jumping is very effective. Same with single fire on distance or while running. The main thing with glocks are that they are great when you are in groups, but quite weak when you are by yourself.
Potti
When you use the glock, burst fire is the best for close combat and middle range in my oppinion. The good thing with glock burst fire is that every burst goes straight even if you jump, run or strafe. For realy long distance the best thing is single fire, but glock on long distance is not something I really recommend. Glocks are good for fast rushes where there is a lot of close mcombat action.

Heckler & Koch USP Tactical
Retail name: K&M .45 Tactical
Caliber: .45 ACP
Price: $500
Clip capacity: 12
ahl
This pistol is my favourite one. It's less random than Deagle, and works in both long and short distances. If the opponent doesn't have kevlar/helmet, which many people don't have in pistol rounds, its very easy to kill someone. I often use this weapon on T pistol rounds together with a flashbang. In CT pistol rounds it can be hard to stop the T's with a USP if they use glock/kevlar. A good tactic is to let 2-3 people buy kevlar on CT pistol round and let them hold the spot where glock rushes are common. When it comes to aiming with the USP, I find it most effective in mid-short distances. You can shoot pretty fast then without losing too much accuracy. I also try to move the crosshair down a little bit after a lot of shots to compensate the recoil.
brunk
I always use it as CT on each gun round, and sometimes I buy it on the T gun round or when I have AWP. It's a really usefull gun on both distance and closeup fights. I often shoot away 4-5 shots pretty fast and aim to the head, it works most of the times, if it doesn't I just fire some more shots! I use the same technique on all distances.
ElemenT
The USP is my kebab of CS, the dream gun. It's accurate and with a good fire capacity. Good in all ranges. I prefer using it for fakes or when holding the back. The USP and flash is a good combination in a gun round as T. I feel the USP is a gun that you can't spam with. It is not like the Deagle, so random that the best technique is to sit down and just shoot. The USP is more of a strafe and shoot weapon.
fisker
As Terrorist I buy USP when I know I am going into battles at long range distances. Try to avoid spam shooting with it at longer ranges, instead have a shorter pause between the bullets. In close combat I just spam shoot, aim for the head and lower the crosshair slightly for the recoil. With the USP I also buy one flashgrenade which I try to use as effective as possible. USP is good both for attacking and defending.
HeatoN
I use USP for every CT pistol round and some T pistol rounds. It is great for sniping and close combat, especially vs people with no armor. In close combat I shoot as fast as possible and aim for the head, middle distance half fast fire, you can always learn the recoil on half distance by shooting at a wall. Long distance, one shot bursts is the way here to make your bullet go straight, aim high and shoot one bullet at a time.
Potti
USP is my favorite in the pistol rounds since its very accurate and takes alot of damage if the opponent doesn't have kevlar. It is prety easy to control and you can almost spam the first three bullets since they will go quite straight. After that T try to get a nice rythm. At the same time I try not to shoot too slow. The rythm is really important. But it all depends on the range since you can shoot much faster in close range then you can in middle or long range.

The Deagle is a weapon that can be very random, sometimes you wonder if the shots actually give damage to the opponent. I don't prefer using it on pistol rounds, I rather go with a USP since the opponents don't have helmets. However, Deagle can be very lethal on save rounds as T if all five use it with armor. It's very hard to defend your position as CT if five people attack with deagle/armor. And if you get one of those crazy one-shot kills you might get a Colt and a big advantage. When I aim with the Deagle I try to stay calm and not start spamming with it, then there is a bigger chance that the shots actually hit.
brunk
The Desert eagle is a pretty random gun in 1.5, but it's less random on LAN, so thats good. I use it mostly on ecos both as T and CT when I have enough money to buy it and still can afford to buy what I need next round. I also do it sometimes when I have awp. One thing I often do when I use the Deagle is to fire one shot or two when I buy it and then reload, sometimes it's a bug with the first clip so it shots totally random. I have no special technique when I shot with it, sometimes it's one to two shots, sometimes it's a whole mag. It's really great vs MP5 and Colt without armor. Versus MP5 you can take them on distance and vs Colt without armor you only need to hit 2-3 shots in the chest to kill the enemy.
ElemenT
The deagle is without doubt the most random of the pistols we see in action today. Its accuracy is good but sometimes it seem to hit all the shots wherever your crosshair is. It is good with armor. I prefer to stand and shoot slow with it. Although, inside the deagle there are bullets that could tear a buffalo a part and nail armor like a knife to your chest. If you manage to hit two or three of the seven bullets you will have a dead opponent lying there.
fisker
I almost never buy this gun anymore since its so random. If I do I use it for support. For example if I miss a shot with the AWP, I pick up the deagle shoot 2 or 3 bullets to get away from the open spot where I was standing or if get a leg shot on the enemy it's easier to kill him with Deagle rather than AWP again, because if you miss the second AWP shot you are very lucky if you don't get killed.
HeatoN
The Deagle is a very random gun, although a little better at LAN. But it is the most powerful, and the only one which is able too shoot trought walls. If you lose the pistolround, you can go for Deagle and armor, which is great, and it's a big chance that you can win the eco round if you play smart. When you shoot with the Deagle, aim for the head and shoot slowly, don't panic, not even in close combat, that will make the shots go straighter. In an eco, try to stick together, it's really powerful if you have 2-3 guys coming out with Deagle versus one or maybe two Colts.
Potti
The Deagle in 1.5 and 1.4 is a bit to random for me so it's not realy one of my favorites as it used to be back in the days. It is still pretty accurate though if you wait a long time between every shot or if you crouch. I usually shoot two shots then wait a bit then one shot wait, shoot, wait and so on. Of course it depends on if it's close combat or long range. If it's close I just spam some and hope for the best. The positive side with Deagle is that it's the only gun that penetrates crates, doors and walls, so it doesn't matter if the opponents have armor or not. I prefer the Deagle more on eco rounds than on the actual pistol rounds.

Now when 1.6 is released the MP5 is not very useful anymore. If you don't have enough money to buy AK or colt, the galil or the famas are much better alternatives. They are stronger and the bullets go through walls. There are not many situations in a clanwar anymore that I would buy MP5 on. I would consider buying it as CT on a close range position if I don't have too much cash. One example is the third round as CT if you won the pistol round, and the T’s could have bought AK+kevlar but no helmet.
ElemenT
The MP5 is basically a great weapon - aslong as the opponent doesn't wear an armor, especially a helmet. As CT, an MP5 ain't very useful when the mighty AK bulletts come flying through the air against you. So I would much rather buy a Colt without armor and hope for some lucky shots, than an MP5 where you'll have to set 3 headshots to kill an opponent. By that time the enemy will most likely killed you. As Terrorist you have a better chance with an MP5, since you can depend on fast backup from the AK moving AWP's. I prefer MP5 after winning a pistol round as T, its cheaper and just as effective as an AK when CT's aren't wearing an armor
fisker
MP5, the ultimate eco weapon! Ask HeatoN and you'll get that confirmed :D. Anyway the MP5 is very good if you win the gunround or if you know they don’t have helmet.
It has the same bullets as Glock 18 and is very effective on short range. It's rarely used in 1.6 because of famas and galili though, better to have a rifle which you can shoot through walls with rather than a MP5.
HeatoN
The MP5 ain’t used that much anymore in 1.6, since the famas came, it’s much better and have around the same price. It’s mostly used as a anti-eco gun and are very effective vs people without armor, Just spray with it in headsight, it has really no big recoil so its easy.
Vs weapons like M4 and AK it’s harder, a tip is to spray and strafe right & left which makes you hard to hit, but your MP5 will still go straight because of the low recoil. On distance I rather take up my glock / usp instead of using the MP5, MP5 is a close /midrange weapon only.
Potti
MP5 is one of my favourite "anti eco" weapon in 1.5 , its good because of its fast rate of fire and its low recoil, the MP5 is a close and middle range weapon and will not work so good on distance. If the opponents have armor it can be werry hard to kill an opponent if you don’t do instant hs, I tend to always spray with the MP5 since its low recoil and fast rate of fire. If the enemy is on long range its better to pull out your usp for example. Since we just started playing 1.6 I have never bought the MP5 because of the new famas and galil. I don’t think the MP5 will be used much at all in 1.6 but time will tell.

Galil
Retail name: Galil
Caliber: 5.56mm

ahl
I don't have very much to say about this weapon. All I can say is that I don't like it. The sound from it is buggy, it's much louder than any other weapon. I havent learned how to handle it yet, since I never buy it. The only good thing with it is that it's cheap. But to be honest I prefer an AK47 without kevlar/helmet.
ElemenT
The Galil, the new lowprice weapon sets place in the terrorist armory. The Galil is the smartest Anti-save weapon you could buy today, it gives you the opportunity to multiple damage (shooting through guys) and has the power and bullets to shoot through walls. The reason I would say the AK > Galil anyday, is that the Galils accuray ain't as good, and its burst mode is not as good as the ledgendary AKs'. I would recommend you to buy the Galil in situations that your on close range, or is lacking money when the rest of the team has enough to buy AK/AWP etc.
fisker
Galil is just the weapon you buy when you can't afford AK-47, i think it sucks. The spray is wierd, and it's so loud you make your opponents deaf.
HeatoN
The Galil is probly the gun I've used less of the new ones in 1.6, I think I've almost only used it at anti-eco rounds, not because its bad, it's just because the ak47 is the best gun in the game and its not much more expensive then the Galil. Anyway, when using the Galil the best attack is the 1-shot burst, it's very effective with this rifle, and the first bullets will always go straight and does some pretty heavy damage to the enemy, so my tip is so 1 shot burst all the time with the galil, except for in extreme close combat where you of course spray. The spray with the Galil is quit random, and I sugest that you spray as little as possible with it due to it's random recoil.
Potti
The Galil is a weapon which I only would recomend if you can't afford an AK or at ecorounds, the good thing with the gun is that it holds 35 bullets and that its cheap. I tend to use the Galil as the exact way of a Colt, the recoil reminds abit of the Colt, but I can't stand the sound :). The Galil is best at middel and close range I guess, but a better alternative than a MP5 on range 2, so instead of buying a MP5 I would recomend to spend an extra 500$ to get the Galil, since it goes trough crates and walls, better on distance then the MP5 and got 35 bullets in the clip. If you're going to burst with it try and "copy" your AK style, and if your spraying try and copy your "Colt" style a bit. I myself don't use the Galil that much since I prefer the AK any day :).

The FAMAS is a pretty interesting addition to the game. This is the weapon I always buy as anti-eco weapon instead of MP5. It's not very expensive and it goes through walls etc. Make sure you put your bullets in the head of the opponent though, since the FAMAS is pretty weak. This weapon could also be useful to win important rounds in a match. If you can't decide if you should do an eco round or not, 1-2 people (depending on positions etc) could use the FAMAS instead of a colt.
fisker
I never buy this gun so I don't have so much to say about it, but I think it's just a little bit better than MP5, so it can be good to buy this gun when you don't have cash for Colt with helmet. I usually buy Colt without armor rather than buying FAMAS with armor.
HeatoN
FAMAS is the low cost gun for the CT’s, great when you are low on cash or when you have an anti-eco. The recoil on the FAMAS is high and kind of random, and remember it has only 25 shots, so my tips for the FAMAS is to burst a lot except in super close combat where spraying of course is the choice.
Potti
The FAMAS is a gun I only buy if it’s REALLY necessary and I don’t have money for a colt or my team mate can drop one, the FAMAS is only good in close combat imo and I try to spray a lot with it like an mp5, the good thing with it that makes the difference from an MP5 is that the bullets go trough walls and they take a bit more damage but the bad side is that its only 25 bullets. On range you should try and use the same technique as an SK, and close middle range spray or burst 4-5 shot bursts. If you have a range position it would be better to buy a FAMAS then an MP5 for sure.
SpawN
I really don’t know if FAMAS is good because the only time I buy it is when the enemies got eco. It’s a bit of an eco weapon I think. I rather play with a Colt/AK instead of FAMAS.

AK-47
Retail name: AK-47
Caliber: 7.62mm
Price: $2500
Clip capacity: 30
ahl
The AK47 is a gun that while both powerful and deadly is also extremely difficult to handle. I have found that spraying in conjunction with 1 shot burst is the most effective way to use the gun. With the AK47s cheap price tag of 2500 dollars it makes it the most readily available gun and most used by Terrorists in the game, thus making the need to effectively use the gun more important than any other rifle in Counter-Strike.
ElemenT
The AK-47 is maybe the best weapon in Counter-Strike, and has been for around 4 years now together with the M4A1. It's spraying abilities on close range is deadly but on distance spraying would be like trying to kill a goldfish while swimming in water. The AK is mainly set for bursting and the excellent burning technique. Faster than any other weapon with an exception for the deagle/AWP, the AK-47 eliminates it's enemies faster than any other weapon when you hit about crouch level.
fisker
AK-47 is my personal favourite and the best gun in the game I think (except for lame AWP :P), very good in both close and long range. Not so expensive and I think everyone knows that this is the main weapon that T use, nice to shoot trough walls with and just good at every point. A tip is to try bursting as much as possible because the AK-spray is not very easy to handle. After you have done a let's say 5-bullet-burst and the guy wont die, try doing the clicking-death which means that you click like 2 or 3 times kind of fast. That's good sometimes when you know you're enemy has very little hp. 1 funny thing with AK47 is that if you shoot 1 bullet into another guys head (depending on range) he will get hurt with random values and those are 99 or above, so if got shot in the head and got 1 hp left, you got lucky ;)
HeatoN
The AK-47 is by far the best gun in the game, but can be very hard to handle, so here i going to give you some tips on how about to use it, as always learn the guns recoil by spraying a lot on for example walls. In close combat spray for the head and drag your crosshair down is the best option and if u aim in the same height vs. a enemy with Colt u will win because of the power of the AK-47.
On a little longer distance and long distance when people are moving in anyway, the best thing to do is to shoot 2-4 shot bursts against the head, try to duck as much as possible that will make your shots go straighter. On half long/ Long distance on people ducking or standing still the best way to eliminate him is the 1-shot burst against him, 3 shots in him will kill him and it doesn’t have to be headshots so your enemy will be down in 0.3 seconds, and remember to learn the burst recoil, spray recoil and the1shot bursts, practice, practice, practice! :)
Potti
The AK-47 is the best all round weapon in the game in my opinion, and also my favourite gun. The AK-47 is very effective to both burst and spray with, so it makes it good on close, Middle and long range. On long range I can recommend bursting from 2 to 5 bullets at a time in middle and close range you should try to burst at first, and then switch to spray or start spraying immediately if it’s a tight situation. It’s not that hard to learn the spraying recoil, just try it out on the wall and see how it works, and then you start practicing to spray and controlling the recoil. The burst are very accurate so just aim for the head and then fire 2-5 bullets and you will kill who’s ever in your crosshair.
SpawN
This is one of the best weapons in the game and one of my favourites. As you all know, I think it can kill a person with only 1 bullet in the head even though he got helmet so it’s very strong. If you can handle the AK-spray I’m pretty sure you can handle colt spray very good also. I’m not good in it but it’s hard to spray good with AK. I rather go for Colt instead of AK, if you are a sprayer like me. :)

Colt M4A1
Retail name: Colt M4A1 Carbine
Caliber: 5.56mm
Price: $3100
Clip capacity: 30
ahl
The M4A1 is probably the most popular weapon in the game. It can be use effectively in many situations. What many people don't know about the Colt is that it does slightly more damage in close combat with silencer, a little bit more damage in long range with the silencer off. The recoil with silencer on gets slightly more random though. If I’m holding a close range position as CT I try to pick a sneaky spot at least 1-2 rounds out of 12, and put the silencer on. That could make a difference, perhaps you take out 2-3 T's instead of 1. A bad thing about the M4A1 compared to the AK is that one short burst at the head may not always kill the enemy, and they can headshot you right back with their AK's. That's why I prefer close range with Colt.
fisker
The Colt M4A1 has probably the most accurate recoil in the game. If you know how to handle the Ak47, colt won’t be a big problem cause with this rifle you can spray on almost any distance, close, middle and long range. It does give more damage on close range with the silencer on and the opposite on long distances, not my personal favorite but it's the primary gun for CT's. One thing I love about this rifle is the wall shooting, since it's so accurate it's pretty easy to hit a target through walls for example on nuke at ramps when you shoot through the wall in to the yellow house. The silencer is good to if you have a tricky position because your enemies can't hear from where you're shooting.
HeatoN
The Colt is a lot very much like the AK-47, with one exception, it’s a lot better to spray with! You should try to spray as much as possible in almost every fight, when spraying with the M4 first aim at the head to try make and direct headshot kill, if he doesn’t die by the first 3-4 bullets drag your crosshair down a little further and aim for the upper part of the chest. When bursting its also very much like the AK-47, the only difference is that you can shoot 1 or 2 bullets more per burst without getting to much recoil, and remember that its much more important to aim for the head with a M4 then it is with a AK because it has a little more less damage. If people standing still / crouching you should use the single burst technique and aim for the head / upper chest. About the silencer on / off I personally recommend to use it without the silencer, but some day’s I’ll actually go for it, and remember to always use the silencer when you are on a camping position which will make it possible for you to take out more enemies without they knowing where you are shooting from.
Potti
The best spray weapon of the game is the colt, its got great recoil witch is real easy to learn how to control. Another good thing with the colt is the silencer. This one is great to use if you don’t want the enemies to pinpoint your exact location where you’re firing from. However I can’t recommend people to use the colt in to much distance combats since the AK is a lot more powerful, and you need more hits with the Colt than the AK to kill your enemy on distance. The Colt is better then the AK on close combats though since you can spray a lot with it and still compensate the recoil almost perfect. On distance I would prefer 3 to 6 bullets burst while on middle range 6-12 bullet bursts and close combat spray as much as you can.
SpawN
This is one of my favorite weapons but I like this one little more than the AK. AK is really hard to spray with while Colt is a bit of burst weapon and good on spraying. Well as most of the peoples know I like to spray a lot and when it comes to spraying part I prefer Colt before the AK. It’s much easier too handle the spray. A tip from me to every CS player is, if you are a sprayer don’t use AK as I said it’s much easier to spray with Colt. And for the ones who want to know if I play with silence or not, I use silence sometimes like when I’m on back on people etc but I play without silence mostly.
