Closing thoughts

The AWP is one of the most iconic weapons in Counter-Strike. It is capable of killing an opponent in one shot through armour anywhere on the body (except the legs). As a bolt-action sniper rifle it is important the player is able to hit their shots consistently, especially as it can only fire 5 rounds before a reload is required.

The G3SG1 has very high damage output at range with accuracy. Interestingly, it also reloads quicker than the Terrorist equivalent.
