Mr. Phoenix Connektion Terrorist says:
"Sub-machine guns such as the MP5-Navy have a pretty good firing rate compared to the rifles. However, they are not as powerful as I would like it but under full-auto they still can kick some major asses! And go for the head while you're at it! Also, keep in mind that SMGs are generally weaker than rifles in terms of power and bullet velocity. Oh yeah, don't forget to carry a High Explosive grenade with you too. This baby can help you getaway in tight situations!"

Mr. L337 Krew Member says:
"Oh yeah, the Arctic Warfare Magnum is an incredibly powerful sniper rifle. However, it is not without its disadvantages. It is heavy and has a tremendous recoil. This makes you a prey against close-range combatants. Always arm yourself with a Desert Eagle I say...... If you do well with a Steyr Scout, you will dominate with the AWM. Be sure to occupy a good sniping position and stick together during a heavy battle, and don't forget to stay behind the line if you want to live long. Precision sniper rifles? Well, if you are not comfortable with high recoil type, use these as they can rapid fire under the scope."

Mr. Arctic Avenger says:
"Using rifles such as the AK-47 have a major drawback. Rifles have high recoil rate which makes them inaccurate in long range situations. Like all rifles, I recommend shooting in bursts of maybe 3 at a time against ranged enemies, since its high power and bullet velocity really get things cooking. Under close combat situation, stay calm and shoot in controlled bursts and aim for the head. The AK-47 is a powerful and fast reloading rifle. Follow my words and you cannot fail with the AK-47 or with any other rifles."

Mr. Gorilla Warfare Gureilla says:
"You want to be a Commando? Well, you have to get a Commando first! Take the lightest rifles of all, the SG552 Commando for an example. The Commando is versatile and equally powerful in both close combat or long range situations. However, it is rather bulky to handle which makes things touchy in close combat fights. With a 2x zoom scope, you can kiss unsuspecting enemies in the head with this baby. But always remember the golden rule, shoot in bursts and go for the head!"

Mr. Richard Marcincko says:
"Imagine swift silent death...... Isn't that a wonderful gift for all those terrorists out there? Oh, don't worry about me, I'm just thinking of my sweet Carbine. This baby is the highest damaging and kevlar ripping rifle in the Counter-Strike arsenal. Against close combat situations, this baby rules with precision perfect penetration. But stay well clear of ranged enemies unless you are able to control your bursts. Oh yes, with a silencer, you can be dead silent and accurate but your cyclic rate and damage will drop.

Mr. GSG-9 Counter-Terrorist says:
"Well, alot of people underestimate the power of the P90. Having the fastest firing rate in the game with 900 rpm, this weapon unloads its 50 rounds glory superbly. Okay, so it had a terrible recoil which affects its accuracy. But if you treat this like a rifle instead of a sub-machine gun, you can get a pretty devastating combination: A high cyclic rate of a SMG and a high bullet velocity of a rifle."

Mr. David Stirling says:
"The AUG? Isn't it cool-looking and look at the curves...... Oh sorry, just rumblings here heh. Yup, it's heavy for a rifle isn't it? But that is where the magic of this weapon lies. It is to stablize the rifle for it to shoot accurately over medium-long distances. A terrific short range sniper rifle I would say but be sure to go off-scope in short range battles coz it shoot slower using it, duh!"

Mr. GIGN Counter-Terrorist says:
"Underused weapons such as shotguns can be truly deadly since these monsters spray an 8-pellets area burst. And a single burst can kill instantly under close situtions. However, avoid ranged battles since shotguns never excel in these areas. The only machine gun in the Counter-Strike arsenal, the M249 Para can be a strategic weapon in holding a tight area. Though it can kill effectively with its high velocity bullets, its recoil and accuracy makes it a bane to use. Remember that if the other team is truly powerful, a strategic defense should be set up to ward off the threat!"
