Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (also known as CS:GO) is the latest installment of the Counter-Strike series, released in 2012. The game was developed by Valve Software and Hidden Path Entertainment for the PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Mac OS X. The most notable changes from Counter-Strike: Source include the new weapons and that all of the weapons are now modeled correctly for right-handed use.

The following weapons appear in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive:

Handguns

Beretta 92FS

In one of the menus a terrorist is seen holding a Beretta 92FS.

Heckler & Koch P2000

The H&K USP Tactical has been replaced with the H&K P2000's 9mm variant. It is the starting pistol exclusive for Counter-Terrorists. Unlike in the original Counter-Strike, this variant does not come with a suppressor. Called "hkp2000" in game files.

Glock 26 with custom long slide and barrel

The Glock 26 with semi-auto and incorrect 3-round burst firemodes appears in the game as "Glock-18". It is the starting pistol exclusive for Terrorists. The Glock is somewhat similar in appearance to the "G18" (a converted G17) in Modern Warfare 2, which had an OD frame while CS:GO has tan frame. It seems to be an updated Left 4 Dead 2 pistol model as it's the same long-slided subcompact Glock. It has an incorrect 20-round capacity, despite its grip and magazine length.

SIG-Sauer P250 Compact

The SIG-Sauer P228 has been replaced with the P250 Compact, chambered in .40 S&W with a 13 round capacity.

The player reloading the P250 in the game. Note that the hammer is now uncocked.

FN Five-seveN

A current model FN Five-seveN with adjustable target sights is featured in-game. It has low damage, but high accuracy and capacity, working well against armored enemies. Like before, it is exclusive for CTs.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX

A Desert Eagle Mark XIX is included in CS:GO, as the most powerful and accurate sidearm available, but with a low capacity and heavy recoil. Like the Glock, its model is also taken from Left 4 Dead 2. The hammer is correctly cocked while in use, but oddly, is uncocked while reloading.

Beretta M9A1

Dual Beretta M9A1 Inox handguns with wood grips, referred to as "Dual Berettas", are a popular buyable sidearm choice, with moderate accuracy and power and a high 30-round capacity. Notably, the hammers are always in half-cocked position. Unlike previous Counter-Strike installments, the dual pistols are no longer exclusive to Terrorists. Still called "elite" in game files.

Beretta M9A1- 9x19mm. The pistols seen in-game are Inox models with wood grips, but are otherwise the same as seen here.

Intratec Tec-9

The Tec-9 is included in-game, firing in semi-automatic. It boasts a nice 32 round magazine and an unusual ability for a standard-caliber pistol to down an enemy with a single headshot, regardless of armor. The only other pistol that can do this is the Desert Eagle.

Sub Machine Guns

Ingram MAC-10

A MAC-10 is featured in the game. The model is from Left 4 Dead 2 (sans the silencer). It's advantages are through its high ROF and damage, while sacrificing range and accuracy.

Brügger & Thomet MP-9

A Brügger & Thomet MP-9 is one of the available Sub-Machine Guns in-game, distinguished by its rails and folding stock. Unlike Counter-Strike, this variant does not come with a built in suppressor and instead behaves as the counter-terrorist equivalent to the MAC-10

Brügger & Thomet MP9 with stock extended - 9x19mm

Izhmash PP-19 Bizon-2

A Izhmash PP-19 Bizon-2 chambered in 9x18mm Makarov is an available SMG, with low damage, high ROF, controllable recoil and a very high 64-round capacity. The game refers to it as "PP-Bizon".

Heckler & Koch UMP45

A Heckler & Koch UMP45 is featured in-game, with a 25-round capacity, and an overall moderate balance of stopping power, firerate, and recoil. The in game menus show this to be equipped with an EO-Tech sight but this is not found in game.

Heckler & Koch MP7

The MP7 is an available SMG, it is a decently powerful and accurate weapon, with low recoil, a moderately high firerate, and a 30-round magazine. It fills the same role as the previous games' H&K MP5, even recycling the same weapon sound used in previous games.

Assault rifles

CQB-R / Mk. 18 Mod 0

A CQB-R / Mk. 18 Mod 0 fitted with an ARMS#40 flip-up rear iron sight and KAC free-float RAS handguard appears as the "M4A4". The kill icon still incorrectly shows the M4A1 with carry handle from Counter-Strike: Source. Unlike previous Counter-Strike games, it does not include a detachable suppressor. The model might be the one appeared in many Left 4 Dead/Left 4 Dead 2 artworks, only without the scope.

Mk. 18 Mod 0 - 5.56x45mm NATO

AKM

The AK-47 in the game is actually an AKM, with plastic 30-round magazines. It has very high stopping power, but has high recoil and is somewhat heavy. This model is notably ported from Left 4 Dead 2 with slight alterations like detail on the stock and smaller spring lock.

AKM - 7.62x39mm

Steyr AUG A3

Replacing the Steyr AUG A1 is the more recent A3 variant, with a Trijicon ACOG providing a low zoom level and allowing for precise shots. The rifle's in-game model visibly has a 40-round magazine, despite it having a 30-round capacity gameplay wise.

IWI Galil ACE 22

The Galil ARM is replaced by the new Galil ACE, specifically the model 22, identified by its medium-length barrel. It is referred to as the "Galil AR". On the build used during the US vs Euro faceoff, the model featured a usable MePro sight. In the final game this weapon does not feature the sight.

SIG SG 556

The SIG SG 556 with a usable Trijicon ACOG is replacing the SG 552. It is incorrectly referred to as the "SG 553", despite being called "sg556" in game files. Modeled with a 30-round STANAG magazine, unlike what previous Counter-Strike installments had: 20-round magazine model which held 30 rounds for both SG 552 Commando and SG 550 Sniper.

FN SCAR

The FN SCAR-L itself does not appear in the game but it might be worth noting it is the gun featured on CS:GO logo.

Third Generation FN SCAR-L - 5.56x45mm NATO

The silhouette of a SCAR Mk.16 can be seen.

Also its heavier cousin, FN SCAR-H, seems to be dropped during development. Name "weapon_scar17" exists along with some CS:S weapon names (i.e. weapon_mp5navy) but is impossible to obtain.

Third Generation FN SCAR-H STD - 7.62x51mm NATO

Sniper Rifles

Unlike Counter-Strike, players cannot quick scope. While using the scope there is a short amount of time in which the screen has to clear up, and whilst moving the scope will sway, making sniper rifles more stationary as planned.

Accuracy International Arctic Warfare

An Accuracy International Arctic Warfare is featured in-game, and true to its reputation, has very high accuracy and power. It is incorrectly referred to as the "AWP".

Accuracy International AW - 7.62x51mm NATO

Shotguns

Benelli Nova

The Benelli Nova is an available pump-action shotgun, replacing the previous games' Benelli M3. Called simply "Nova", it has the tightest spread of all the shotguns.

Benelli Nova - 12 Gauge.

Remington 870

A sawed off Remington 870 is the second pump-action featured in-game, available to the Terrorist faction(s). It offers a high capacity for a sawed off shotgun (seven rounds) and fires at a fast rate, however its spread is much wider than any of the other shotguns, making it lethal at close quarters but ineffective at distance.

MAG-7

The MAG-7 appears in-game as the counter-terrorist equivalent to the sawed off shotgun; while its capacity is fewer than the sawed off, it is magazine fed, making the reload time on the weapon faster.

Machine Guns

The LMGs in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive provide exceptional suppression due to their high ammo capacity of 100 rounds, but have high recoil and are highly uncontrollable during sustained fire. They also are hindered by their longer reload times

FN M249-E2 SAW

An M249 is an available LMG, has a slower ROF than the IMI Negev but higher amount of damage. When connecting to a server, a terrorist is seen wielding one customized with a foregrip, but this is not present in-game.

Grenades

M67 Hand Grenade

The M67 hand grenade is the resident HE grenade of the game.

M84 Stun Grenade

Flashbangs share their M84 stun grenade model with decoys but use different textures.

File:Csgo flashbang.jpg

The player holding a Flashbang M84.

Decoy grenades trick the enemy team in thinking they can be one of two different type of grenades. When they are dropped they make the same sound as the flashbang forcing nearby combatants to turn away, and when they detonate they release a small puff of flame making them for a short instance feel as if they are incendiary grenades. A great tool when working as a team.

M18 Smoke Grenade

Smoke grenades share their M18 smoke grenade model with incendiaries but use different textures. Smoke can extinguish flames and is released instanly.

Incendiary grenades provide incremental damage to the target whilst in the flame, but their biggest appeal is the ability to detour and even hold back the opposing team from approaching a certain area for about 10 seconds. When used in conjunction with the rest of your team, it is possible to keep the opposing team from approaching a certain area for almost a minute.
