Rifle (Weapon)

The Rifle is a placeholder rifle that only appears in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's script files.^[1]

Overview[]

• The Rifle's appearance and most of its weapon statics are quite similar to the M4A4's albeit with minor differences, with identical price, spread, penetration power, and armor penetration.^[2]
  • It has less inaccuracy while firing, being on ladders or moving. Even less while crouching albeit with more accuracy while crouching with the alternate firing mode.
  • It has a higher speed reduction (220 units/second against 225 units/second)
  • It deals less Damage (30 vs 33)
  • It has a longer recoil recovery time (for both standing and crouching stances)
• The weapon, being a placeholder, is not team exclusive.
• It can be suppressed according to the script file
• It uses the same reload sounds as the AWP.
• Despite having a complete script file, attempting to spawn the weapon with console commands will yield a NULL entity error.^[3]
• On the August 17, 2017 update, the script has been removed from the game files.
