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 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.
