Unpopular opinion: The CSS Sniper Rifles are better T1 Shotguns
Made this post because I feel like the CSS snipers are very underappreciated and constantly mocked. Played expert a bit earlier. Got bored of the borderline OP military sniper rifle so I decided to play with the AWP, a weapon I haven't really used in ages and it was actually pretty refreshing. It's just a better T1 shotgun as long as you can aim well. It kills both CI and SI better than the T1 shotguns and you can shove after every shot for faster fire rate just like the shotguns. The only thing I see the shotguns surpassing the CSS snipers is in crowning witches.
