Knowing that you are bad implies you are a more experienced player. Dunning Kruger etc.

Watching Fnatic vs. Titan currently, and I'm really surprised by how many of these pro players are still using the CZ. I thought it would've completely dropped out of use favor, except for people who mainly use awps/scouts.

M4A1-S is less ammo, more accurate than the alternative. I want to see Ts get the same choice, because I suck at spraying with the AK.

there should be a reverse ak. first shot is random, 2nd-4th shots spread horizontally and then after the 12th shot, every single one comes out deadly accurate, in full auto. imagine the meta of prefiring and knowing how to bait enemies

Try the Galil more. There are plenty of times where I favor the Galil's slightly less damage because it's far more forgiving on the accuracy.

Yes. Maybe have it have a higher mag capacity too? Like double-taped mags or something. Basically a galil with 60 rounds. Haha.

As someone who favors single tapping over spraying, I feel like a FAL would almost be overpowered. To be "more powerful" than an AK47 it would have to be a two shot to the torso (anything less is equal to the AK already) in order to balance with having lower ammo and no full auto. In the right hands, a FAL would be pretty overpowered, I think.

For 500 bucks it still wrecks face more than any other gun for the money. 5-7 is more versatile, but a well-deployed CZ is still a much better possibility of a kill imo.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. Semi-auto would mean we wouldn't have to really deal with much, if any, recoil. If it also has more damage than the AK-47 it'd just be pretty fuckin strong weapon. Maybe have it be an alternate for the SIG, and cost a little more?

I mean that plan sounds a lot like just taking the scope off the G3SG1. Which I don't even necessarily disagree with, so long as the firing rate was brought down a notch and you couldn't just hold the mouse down.

In scrub MG tier I prefer the CZ for T-side and 5-7 for CT. I feel better having 12 shots that I can empty nearly instantly if I'm pushing, but if I'm trying to hold something, I much prefer the heavier, more accurate, longer lasting fire from the 5-7.

Yeah I didn't even really think about the recoil, but that's true. The only game I can really think of where the FAL was used a lot is in COD, in which case it's basically just a semi-auto AK with even less (for COD) recoil. It would be pretty god tier when all you have to do is two tap center mass every single time.

What need or possible alternative playing style is there for an alternative for T's standard weapon that isn't already covered by any other weapon?

Above described L1A1 would only have 20 in mag and 40 as spare. That and single shot would prevent spraying completely.

also is it just me or does it feel like each side benefits more from the other side's primary weapon more? Like the CTs enjoy the AK's increased firepower because they generally tend to bunker down in recognizable spots and cover corners whereas Ts would love to use a silenced M4 because it makes it just a tad harder to pinpoint them. This feels sort of like it's intentional, or am I just confusing myself here?

Yup. I sometimes grab the other team's rifles whenever I play. Also consider that more often than not the T team is the one that has to be on the move when entering a site while the CTs are usually stationary. Ts benefit from a more mobile rifle while CTs benefit from the more stationary one.

It's imaginary, really. I think a lot of people take a "fight fire with fire" approach to primaries, if they're on T, they'd rather battle an M4 with another M4, if they're on CT they'd rather battle AK vs AK. But I don't think it's intended by Valve, I don't think it's a "conscience choice" by players, its just one of those things that happens.

I think if you could buy both sides' weapons, most people would get the AK regardless. One shot HS generally trumps any marginal gains from silencing or tighter spray pattern. Only time I'd favour another weapon would be M4A4 against a no armour rush. Also, I can only think of a few very specific examples of times where a rushing Terrorist would be "hard to pinpoint", even with a silenced weapon.

The AK is 9/10 times the better rifle regardless of side.

May 3, 2013
I refined my thoughts a bit.

AK costs 2700, with the option of a L1A1 (a single shot FAL british army variant).

The l1a1 would be:

-3500 credits
-20 round mag, 40 in reserve
-single shot only
-super inaccurate while moving
-extreme recoil

This would still make it a serious contender with the AK in terms of value and close range.

The new gun have to be crazy powerful to supplant the AK. The AK would be cheaper, have more ammo, and is already inaccurate during movement and lots of recoil. It'd have to be 2hko body shots and that would probably be OP.

I can't be the only one that doesn't really want or care about new guns. The A1 was a good addition but it filled a role between the A4 and the lowly Famas, T's don't have that problem.
