CS2 Weapon Stats

Every current CS2 firearm in one reference

Direct answer: CS2 has 34 standard firearms in its current competitive arsenal: 10 pistols, 7 SMGs, 7 automatic rifles, 4 sniper rifles, 4 shotguns, and 2 machine guns. Use the search and view controls below to turn the full reference into the exact CS2 damage table or handling comparison you need.

What each CS2 weapon stat means

Read damage, armor, range, recoil, handling, and economy together. No single column ranks a weapon by itself.

The formula is a mathematical ceiling. It ignores armor, falloff, spread, recoil, firing delay, bolt cycling, and reload time.

Turn a stat row into a practical weapon comparison

Use the same sequence for every category so a dramatic damage or RPM number does not hide an important breakpoint or handling cost.

1. Start with the damage breakpoint. Read damage, headshot multiplier, armor penetration, and fatal headshot range together.
2. Add distance and surfaces. Check falloff and penetration power before assuming a point-blank result survives a long angle or wallbang.
3. Measure follow-up potential. Compare RPM, recoil, magazine size, and reload time for missed shots, transfers, and multi-kill situations.
4. Finish with handling and economy. Movement speed, running inaccuracy, tagging, price, and kill reward determine whether the weapon fits the planned round.

Important 2026 reload rule

Since the March 18, 2026 update, reloading a magazine-fed weapon discards the rounds left in the removed magazine. Reserve ammunition is tracked as whole magazines, shells, or bullets. That makes reload discipline a real ammo-management stat: do not automatically reload a 27-round AK after every safe kill.

Data and intent note

The tables were checked on July 20, 2026 against the current community weapon spreadsheet, Valve update history, and a detailed CS2 damage guide. Pro pick rates and public-match usage percentages change by map, rank, event, and patch, so they are deliberately kept out of this stable in-game-stat reference.

Compare any two CS2 weapons

Select two firearms to compare the stats that matter most in a purchase decision. The raw output line is a mathematical ceiling, not a real-world time-to-kill prediction.

Raw max output = base damage × pellets × RPM ÷ 60. It assumes every pellet or bullet lands, ignores armor, range, accuracy, spin-up, bolt cycling, and reload time, and should never be treated as a weapon ranking.

Search by weapon name, side, or category. The view controls reduce each wide table to combat or handling columns without removing any data.

All 10 CS2 pistols: combat, economy, and handling stats

Scroll horizontally on smaller screens. Use the global controls above to switch between core, handling, and complete views.

What matters: The Tec-9 has the lowest listed running inaccuracy in the pistol category, while the Five-SeveN, Tec-9, Desert Eagle, and R8 can one-shot a helmet. The Deagle and R8 also double the usual pistol penetration power from 100 to 200, making them materially better for thin-surface shots.

All 7 CS2 SMGs: combat, economy, and handling stats

Scroll horizontally on smaller screens. Use the global controls above to switch between core, handling, and complete views.

What matters: The MP9 and P90 lead the category at 857.14 RPM. The UMP-45 has the most damage per bullet, the MP7, MP5-SD, and P90 share the lowest recoil scalar, and the Bizon owns the largest magazine. Against armored rifles at distance, however, every SMG’s 100 penetration power and modest armor penetration become limiting factors.

All 7 CS2 automatic rifles: combat, economy, and handling stats

Scroll horizontally on smaller screens. Use the global controls above to switch between core, handling, and complete views.

What the rifle numbers mean in practice

All 4 CS2 sniper rifles: combat, economy, and handling stats

Scroll horizontally on smaller screens. Use the global controls above to switch between core, handling, and complete views.

Why the AWP shows 115 damage

115 is the weapon’s base bullet damage. A head hit applies the 4× head multiplier for 460 damage before armor and range adjustments. A chest/arm hit begins at the 115 base value; abdomen, legs, armor, distance, and surfaces use their own modifiers.

All 4 CS2 shotguns: pellet damage, economy, and handling stats

Scroll horizontally on smaller screens. Use the global controls above to switch between core, handling, and complete views.

Shotgun economy: The Nova, MAG-7, and Sawed-Off pay $900 per kill, so two close-range kills can repay most or all of the purchase. The XM1014 is faster and more forgiving but costs $2,000 and returns only $600 per kill.

Both CS2 machine guns: combat, economy, and handling stats

Scroll horizontally on smaller screens. Use the global controls above to switch between core, handling, and complete views.

LMG caveat: The Negev’s 466.7 raw base damage per second is the highest sustained automatic ceiling in the table, but that number ignores its 150 movement speed, wind-up behavior, early-spray inaccuracy, five-second-plus reload, armor, and whether the target stays exposed.

Zeus, knife, and grenade reference points

Zeus damage falls off sharply

The Zeus is reliably lethal only at very close range. Its one-hit zone extends to roughly 183 Hammer units; damage becomes non-guaranteed from there to about 230 units and drops to zero beyond that, approximately 3.5 to 4.4 meters.

CS2 knife damage by attack and angle

Movement, stance, scopes, and spray control

USP-S and M4A1-S silencer state comparison

Scroll horizontally on smaller screens. Use the global controls above to switch between core, handling, and complete views.

The M4A1-S running value is the odd exception

The current data lists lower recoil and slightly better standing range with the silencer, but a higher running-inaccuracy value. That does not make running sprays good in either configuration; standing accuracy, recoil, no tracers, and sound still favor keeping the silencer attached.

How hidden stats change real rounds

• Tagging: SMGs use 100% tagging power, but their lower damage and armor performance still affect the final slowdown. A hit is not automatically a full stop.
• Wall penetration: Penetration power establishes a weapon tier, while surface material, thickness, angle, range, and damage determine what reaches the target.
• Disposable magazines: A partial magazine reload now destroys the rounds remaining in that magazine. Ammo depth in the table is a ceiling only when you reload efficiently.
• Silence and tracers: Suppressed weapons reduce visual and audio information, which can matter more than a small theoretical damage-per-second difference through a smoke.

How this reference was checked

Reference methodology: Combat and handling values were reconciled against the community-maintained CS2 weapon spreadsheet (weapon baseline dated March 18, 2026), then cross-checked with current update history and a detailed Steam Community CS2 stat guide. Values are displayed at useful precision; “N/A” means the 100-damage headshot breakpoint is not reachable for that armor state. Check the in-game buy menu after any future balance patch.
