CSGO: ALL GUN STATS

About CSGO Gun Stats

No matter how similar the various CSGO weapons behave, they all have different stats and calculations. Some may punch through armor more easily than others, for example, while others less so. So here, we’re going to explain each stat to you and how it affects gameplay. Later, we’ll mention how to check these stats for yourself.

Here are the CSGO gun stats:

Price

Every round, you can buy weapons and armor from the shop. This only details how much you have to pay to get the weapon. Higher costs don’t necessarily mean higher quality. Sniper rifles are quite expensive but if you don’t like using them, your performance can drop.

Damage

This tells you how much damage one shot from the gun can deal. Of course, there are multipliers or detractors depending on where you hit the target or whether they’re wearing armor or not. The numbers here give the basis for damage calculations.

Rate of Fire

It means how many bullets you can fire from the gun per minute. SMGs and most automatic weapons have high rates. Conversely, shotguns, and sniper rifles have the lowest rates. Some weapons have a burst mode that increases their rate of fire.

Ammunition (Clip/Reserve)

Gives you an idea of how many rounds you can carry for the weapon. This is usually written in a rounds per magazine/reserve rounds format.

Reload Time

Tells you how long it takes to reload the gun. Each second of reloading is a second of vulnerability, so you need to time your reloads well. Shotguns and LMGs have the longest reload times among CSGO guns. The fastest are pistols and some SMGs.

Penetration

Bullets can penetrate through certain walls or obstacles (sometimes even armor). However, the degree of penetration depends on the gun. Rifles, both automatic and sniper, have the highest penetrating power. That makes it easy for these guns to punch through walls and armor.

Effective Range

Bullets don’t fly forever. Eventually, natural forces will slow it down to a stop. To replicate this in-game, guns have an ‘effective range’. Past this range, when the target is too far away, the damage will either be low or altogether non-existent. At a certain point even farther away, bullets will disappear. Making use of this can spell the difference between victory and defeat. There’s also knowing which gun is the right tool for certain distances.

Now, those aren’t all CSGO weapons stats to take note of. There’s also recoil, mobility, and more. However, those are for the really hardcore players who want to optimize everything. The ones mentioned above are quite basic. If you’re interested in more, read on for how to find those stats.
