The FAMAS is a | The FAMAS is a decent weapon compared to some other rifles and SMGs. It has a decent rate of fire and is very accurate, but it is not very powerful. It has a burst fire mode which is useful for ammo conservation or when you have a very itchy trigger finger. This gun excels at long range, it gives a skilled user the ability to easily pull of single shot headshots, but is not very useful in close range because of its lack of power. | ||

It is powerful, has a high rate of fire, and good accuracy if fired in small bursts. Most terrorists will use the AK47 almost exclusively, and it's a safe bet for any player on any map. Remember to fire in small bursts only, as in longer bursts, all the accuracy is lost and you will most likely miss your target by a long way. | ||

The M249-SAW is an | The M249-SAW is an very expensive weapon, with a rapid firing rate and a large clip. Each round does not inflict a particularly high amount of damage, and it isn't particularly accurate unless fired in single shots or short bursts, but the spray power from an M249 is almost unbeatable. Due to the fact it carries a large ammunition bin, the advised way of using an M249 is to shoot anything that is vaguelly out of the ordinary. Shoot round corners as you jump round them. Shoot at anything that moves. | ||
'''Tip''': You can use this in a closed space, like CS_office, or a large place, like de_aztec. For closed spaces, shoot at every corner, and for large spaces, when you are being shot at, keep your finger on the trigger and search for the enemy. When you see some red blood, keep it there and either: spray (if it is close-range) or burst (in either situation, preferably long-range). Also, for both situations, use it for covering fire when facing the group (or person, please do it in group-vs-group), aka shooting at the group without bursting. The noobs would retreat, and the pros would stay, leaving your team to kill the pros, unless they are smart enough to retreat once their whole team retreats or everyone besides the pro died. | '''Tip''': You can use this in a closed space, like CS_office, or a large place, like de_aztec.

They are all either non-automatic, or semi-automatic, and designed for careful aiming over long distances. They all boast telescopic sights, and several of them (namely the AWP and the automatic sniper rifles) are banned on many servers due to their extreme firepower. Before using a sniper rifle on the internet, it is adviseable to practice carefully with bots locally, as it takes skill to wield a sniper rifle well. | ||
When buying a sniper, it is always a good idea to buy a good pistol as well, since snipers are extremely poor in close-range combat (since they don't have crosshairs unless zoomed, and zooming in at close-range is not advised). | When buying a sniper, it is always a good idea to buy a good pistol as well, since snipers are extremely poor in close-range combat (since they don't have crosshairs unless zoomed, and zooming in at close-range is not advised). | ||

The scout is the most accurate sniper rifle, and is very light, allowing for fast running speeds. The accuracy of the scout is such that it will still be moderately accurate while strafing, unlike the AWP.<br/><br/> | ||
'''Tip''': | '''Tip''': If you are innaccurate don't use the scout, because if you are unable to hit people in the head you will be very ineffective with the scout. If you aren't very accurate, I would reccomend the automatic sniper rifles, as they give you more opportunity to take repeat shots. Also, the scout is widely believed to be a pro gun, so if you are good with it that's great, but beware that it is known as a pro weapon because it is very difficult to use effectively. | ||

It is banned on most servers, but if you are allowed to use it, make good use of the scope. The AWP's scope is very detailed, and proficient snipers can jump out from behind cover, zoom in, fire and kill somebody then hide again multiple times and not get hurt. Training for hours offline with bots is the best way to go about learning. The drawback of this gun is that it isn't very accurate, you have to actually stop moving and fire for the bullet to hit the target, unlike the scout. Also, beware that this gun is sometimes believed to be a noob gun because of its very high power, and that you might annoy people by using it. | ||
'''Tip''': To chamber a new round faster than would otherwise be possible, you can change to a pistol, then back to the AWP very quickly. If practiced enough, this will result in a faster chamber time, and has the added advantage of confusing your opponent, by making them think that you're switching to close-combat tactics. | '''Tip''': To chamber a new round faster than would otherwise be possible, you can change to a pistol, then back to the AWP very quickly.

Miscellaneous Fact: This weapon is almost exclusively known as the AWP (Arctic Warfare Police), but is actually intended to be the AWM (arctic warfare magnum). | |||
