[Top 10] CSGO Most Accurate Guns

Updated:

27 Apr 2022

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.

Galil AR Details:

Cost: $1800 – cheapest Terrorist rifle
Magazine Size: 35 bullets
Firing Mode: Automatic
666 RPM
Reload Time: 3 seconds

Why Galil AR is great:

Rather cheap for its quality
Relatively high rate of fire
Great penetration power
One-shot headshot on enemies without a helmet

9. FAMAS

A cheap option for cash-strapped players, the FAMAS effectively fills the niche between more expensive rifles and the less-effective SMGs.

FAMAS Details:
