AWP

The AWP, or "Arctic Warfare, Police" is a sniper rifle featured in CS:GO. It is a powerful bolt-action rifle available to both Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists, and is feared and well known for its ability to one-shot players with all but leg shots. The AWP does, however, have some downsides. It is expensive to deploy, clocking in at $4750 makes it one of the most expensive weapons in the game. It is powerful, meaning you don't want it falling into the enemy's hands. It slows your player down to a crawl while scoped in and moving, unlike the Scout (Or AWP-Made-in-China) And though no-scope shots are possible, the inaccuracy of this weapon when not scoped in renders all but the closest no-scopes impossible.
