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 Negev has clearly been designed with a specific thing in mind - suppressive fire. When firing, it will stabilise into an extremely accurate "beam" of bullets, allowing an angle to be cut off from approach. At $1700, with a 150 round capacity and crazy rate of fire, it fills this purpose well. Sadly, it also suffers from a heavy movement penalty of 40%.
