Closing thoughts
As the defacto Terrorist rifle, the AK-47 is likely the strongest all-round weapon in the game. While its stellar damage at a distance and other attributes are what you would expect from a rifle, compared to other rifles it also has a notably fast reload time at merely 2.4 seconds.
The SG 553 is the only weapon in the game that completely ignores armour as it has 100% penetration. It has fantastic damage and accuracy, while also coming equipped with a scope. Its lower rate of fire holds it back from being completely dominant, but it is still stronger than most players think.
