Closing thoughts

The Tec-9 does high damage even through armour, but its real advantage is its fantastic first shot accuracy while moving or jumping. This allows a Terrorist player to power onto a bomb site while tapping at enemies.

The USP-S is one of the free starting pistol options for the Counter-Terrorist team. More frequently used than the P2000, it comes with a silencer in exchange for an extra bullet. In any case, it performs better than the Terrorist default.

Right clicking allows the player to remove the silencer, but this just makes the weapon slightly less accurate (and louder of course).
