screenshot Beretta Elite

Retail name: .40 Dual Elites
Caliber: 9mm
Price: $1,000
Clip capacity: 15
Description: The terrorist-only Beretta Elite is actually two pistols held in either hand in a manner similar to those a John Woo movie. Each pistol is relatively slow to fire, but since you're holding two guns at once, your total rate of fire effectively doubles, as does the damage you can inflict. Still, because of its relative inaccuracy and high cost, you should probably save your money for a weapon that's more practical.
Recommended use: Unless you have a fixation with these guns, you should stay away from the dual Beretta Elites. You can't afford them in the first round, so your money is better spent elsewhere. If you must buy them, limit their use to close-quarter engagements, where they're most effective.

screenshot Sig P228

Retail name: 228 Compact
Caliber: .357
Price: $600
Clip capacity: 13
Description: While the Sig P228 is marginally more powerful and accurate than the H&K USP Tactical, the differences aren't worth its $600 price tag. As a counter-terrorist, you're better off saving your money and sticking with your USP, since it's essentially free. As a terrorist, however, you might want to consider using the P228 in place of the weak Glock 18.
Recommended use: The P228 is only a bit more powerful and has a slower rate of fire than the H&K USP, so as a counter-terrorist, you should avoid this gun. As a terrorist, however, if you feel that your Glock is inadequate and don't want to bother with the Desert Eagle's small clip capacity, the P228 is a good choice.

screenshot FN Five Seven

Retail name: ES Five-Seven
Caliber: 5.7mm
Price: $750
Clip capacity: 20
Description: The FN Five-Seven is certainly a unique pistol. Available only to the counter-terrorists, its massive clip holds more rounds than some rifles. It's also the most accurate pistol you can buy in the game. However, its price and lack of power leave something to be desired, and as either a counter-terrorist or terrorist, you're probably better off buying another pistol altogether.
Recommended use: Because of the Five-Seven's accuracy, it's a great pistol to use in long maps, like Canyon Siege, where you and the opposite team will likely meet in the open. If you're playing in the first round of a map and have the Five-Seven equipped, kneel down and open fire on the enemy as soon as you spot him. You'll undoubtedly hit - and sometimes kill - a few unlucky players that way. Don't risk kneeling in later rounds though, since you become a sitting duck for snipers and players with high-powered rifles.
