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.

Accuracy: Medium
Ammo: 5.56mm slugs (30-round mags)
Reload speed: Slow
Cyclic rate: High
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.

Cyclic rate: High
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. Orn of coursen you could rush and eliminate the other team with it, but chances are that smoeone with an assault rifle will kill you, making you look like an idiot. Also, you can kill from amazing distances, using bursts.
