[Top 10] CSGO Most Accurate Guns

Be a better pray-and-spray-er!


Hello fellow CS:GO players! Tired of buying random weapons at random rounds and having no idea where the bullets disappear as you spray into open space? Lay back, for I will introduce to you the most accurate weapons in CS:GO and help you step into the meta!
(For force-buy rounds at least because the Rifles are complex, comparatively inaccurate, and hard to master so they won’t make the list here)

Before we get into the numerical countdown, I would like to point out how there are literally dozens of factors and sequences of movements that affect the accuracy of a weapon. Out of all of these, I am going to cherry-pick the ripest of them all: Recoil Amount and Spread (with Accuracy Recovery and Spray Pattern occasionally coming into play).
Also, Sniper Rifles are excluded for obvious reasons.

10. Galil AR


A less expensive option among the terrorist-exclusive assault rifles, the Galil AR is a serviceable weapon in medium to long-range combat.

  • Magazine Size: 35 bullets
  • Firing Mode: Automatic
