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 92F

In one of the menus a terrorist is seen holding one.

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.

Glock 17 Converted to Full-Auto

The Glock 17 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" (also 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 Glock model as its grip is short like in the latter game. It has an incorrect 20-round capacity, despite its grip and magazine length resembling the subcompact Glock models.

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.

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

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 killfeed still incorrectly shows the M4A1 with carry handle from Counter-Strike: Source. Note than 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.

AKM

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.

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.

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".

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 and customized with a foregrip,but this is not present in-game.

Unknown Decoy Grenades

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 flash bang 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.

Molotov Cocktail

Molotov cocktails are the terrorist version of incendiary grenades, while providing incremental damage to the target whilst in the flame, 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.
