Closing thoughts

The Galil AR is actually pretty outstanding. At only $1800 you get a solid rifle that is capable of dealing significant damage at range. Notably, it also happens to have the highest rate of fire of all Terrorist rifles which really helps boost its damage per second, especially when you consider its 35 round capacity.

The M249 behaves like a rifle, but gives up accuracy and movement speed in exchange for higher armour penetration and rate of fire, which results in extremely high damage per second. Coupled with a huge magazine capacity, the main drawback is its high $5200 price tag.
