Closing thoughts

The AUG is a fantastic weapon, but at $3300 it is hard to justify compared to the defacto Counter-Terrorist rifle options. While it has much higher armour penetration, it is not always able to convert this - no Counter-Terrorist rifle can deal lethal damage through a helmet in one shot, so given that 2 shots are required this benefit can often seem meaningless. Furthermore, the AUG also has a reload time of 3.8 seconds - far slower than all other rifles.

However, the weapon is armed with a scope, which can make defending certain angles on a bomb site easy.

The M4A1-S is generally considered the strongest rifle purchase for the Counter-Terrorists; it kills quicker than other options while also costing less. It is accurate and deals great damage - even at long range.

The silencer provides a benefit that is difficult to quantify, but can buy you precious seconds while also allowing you to spray through smoke with less caution. Removing the silencer is possible, but does nothing other than make the weapon both louder and more inaccurate.
