Personally I don't really see the value in comparisons of these primitive statistics like rate of fire/reload time. At a high level everything becomes so highly dimensional that any analysis on this level falls short compared to intuition.

It's probably most helpful in terms of having discussions around weapon balancing

it's really hard to figure out which weapon is best just from looking at a page of attributes. consider the classic ak vs m4 dichotomy. ak kills in one headshot with or without armor, has higher damage per shot, and has higher DPS. the m4 has a much tighter recoil pattern though. in practice, most people will drop an m4 to pick up an ak, but they are closer than they look on paper.

I love CS. I mean I love the franchise as a whole but the original was such a breath of fresh air in what 2000. The gunplay is so good. It's unfortunate that even today it is impossible to play without hearing 4chan racial slurs for the lulz. Very toxic community.

Valorant!

As an ex-pro CS player (circa 2003-2007), this is pretty neat. Unfortunately, even though CS might have a fairly deep weapon pool, only a very small subset of weapons are actually used in competition (I'd wager 85+% of gameplay mostly involves the M4, AK, AWP, Deagle, and USP/Glock). Situationally, a few weapons would be interesting to compare (the MAG-7 and Scout come to mind), but the tool isn't particularly useful outside of a curiosity.

Even though I don't really follow the pro scene much anymore, I'd personally be more interested in a tool that analyzed map positioning and strats. Cool site nonetheless, solid work!

+1 .. came here to say exactly this. While this site is great for finding out what others weapons exist, I don't think any weapons outside of m4, ak, awp are actually used.

I love that nothing has changed since cs 1.6
