Weapon stats info

- By Jeffrey Lau

Hello all... here are my observations on the weapons of Cstrike Beta 6.5.

*Damage Testing
I did one test with each gun: I fired the gun at point-blank into the back 
of an armored target, recorded the damage, and counted the number of hits it 
took to kill.

*Timing
I used my stopwatch to record the reload times and the rates of fire. 
There's an inherent degree of inaccuracy in these measurements, so I did 
three trials, took the average, and rounded it.
NOTE: ROF means Rate of Fire. ROF is interchangeable with "Number of 
Bullets per Second."

*NOTES ON DAMAGE
The format for the damage listings looks like this:

 (<damage to health>, <damage to kevlar>).

The first number, <damage to health>, is the important one. Damage to 
kevlar isn't important, because 50 kevlar provides the same amount of 
protection as 100 kevlar.

I have not included damage values for unarmored targets, because that can 
be extrapolated from the given values. To get the damage done against an 
unarmored target: add <damage to health> and <damage to kevlar>, and 
multiply by 4/3. This should put you somewhere in the ballpark.

EXAMPLE: the USP does (16, 9) damage. Adding these together makes 25. 
Multiplying by 4/3 results in 33. The amount of damage the USP does to an 
unarmored target is therefore 33 (leaving the target with 67 health).
You may have guessed from this formula that kevlar absorbs about 1/4 of the 
total damage done (health + armor).

*NOTES ON KEVLAR PENETRATION RATIO
This number was obtained by dividing the <damage to health> by the <damage 
to kevlar>. In other words, a higher number signifies more efficient damage 
(more damage going to health, and less damage going to kevlar). Weapons with 
a higher KPR will also lose less damage over distance.
EXAMPLE: The USP does (16, 9) damage. The KPR is 16:9, or about 1.78.

*CLARIFICATION ON DAMAGE
Every weapon has a potential total damage. If the target has kevlar, this 
total damage is reduced by 1/4. The remaining damage is then distributed 
among the health and armor of the target in accordance with the KPR. If the 
target does not have kevlar, then the total damage is dealt to health. So 
far, I'm unsure where distance figures into this calculation.
NOTE: When I refer to "TOTAL" in this weapons guide, I mean the combined 
<damage to health> and <damage to armor>, NOT the potential total.

*NOTES ON RECOIL TYPE
There are basically 4 types of recoil that I've observed: simple (straight 
upwards), random, sniper, and pistol. Simple recoil goes straight up. Random 
recoil patterns look like a 'T'. The first 6 shots will recoil upwards in a 
predictable pattern; after that, each bullets will either go left or right, 
in a horizontal bar of possibilities. The key thing to note is that the 
first 6 shots are predictable, and the rest are random. Sniper recoil means 
perfect accuracy when standing still, but shots will go wild when moving. 
Pistol recoil is near-perfect.

*NOTES ON "CHANGES"
Unless otherwise stated, all of the comments listed as "Changes" refer to 
changes since B6.1.
