High risk and high reward, the infamous AWP is recognizable by its signature report and one-shot, one-kill policy. It has been painted with a lightning strike motif using anodizing effect paints over a metallic base coat.

As expensive as it is powerful, the Desert Eagle is an iconic pistol that is difficult to master but surprisingly accurate at long range. It has been painted with a pearl base coat, then spray-painted black through a stencil in a graphic pattern.

The Glock 18 is a serviceable first-round pistol that works best against unarmored opponents and is capable of firing three-round bursts. It has been painted using a dragon decal over a metallic base coat.

With a smaller magazine than its unmuffled counterpart, the silenced M4A1 provides quieter shots with less recoil and better accuracy. It has been painted in an aquatic-stripe pattern with charcoal metallic paints of various reflectivities over a chrome base coat.
