The Spray To Which We Pray: The Story of The AK-47

Why is it that, in the world of Counter-Strike, it’s the AWPers who get all the recognition? The Deaglers? Even the occasional Scout savant.

It’s all anyone talks about: the no-scopes, the Juan Deags, the impossible flicks. And with good reason: they’re nutty. Absurd. Unremittingly hype. The showstoppers of CS:GO.

But what about your run-of-the-mill riflers? Why is it that they never seem to get any credit?

The bread-and-butter, blue collar, working-class killers of Counter-Strike. Those who aren’t afforded the sexiest hardware.

Well, with one exception, of course.

Of all the sloppy, shaky, inaccurate bullet-dispensers across the history of Counter-Strike, there is only one crown jewel. A meat-and-potatoes masterpiece whose disciples didn’t adopt it because they weren’t good enough to wield the Mighty Green but because they were too good

This is the story of the cheapest, hardest, and most god-tier gun in the whole of CS:GO. The story of the AK-47.
