Hey folks,

I am here to talk to you about something that really annoys me. Weapon names. That's right. Since we're playing in a "realistic" and tactical way, I think people should call weapons by their proper name. CSS, in order to avoid various lawsuits, has renamed every gun in the game the way they want. However, for those knowledgeable about firearms or who played CS 1.6 extensively (the weapons had their real names), it can get very annoying to hear someone call a the M4 a Colt. Yes, the M4 can be called a Colt, because it is the company that manufactures it, but so can a Python, an M1911 and others. For the sake of precision and realism which are both needed in critical situations, we should all call the firearms by one convention. And why not use the real-life names?
Here is a little list I compiled:

"Fake" name - Real name
9X19mm Sidearm - Glock (the manufacturer is Glock GmbH)
228 Compact - SIG P226
Night Hawk .50c - Desert Eagle
ES Five-Seven - Five-seven
5.40 Dual Elites - Beretta 92 (x2)
Leone 12 Gauge Super - M3
Leone YG1265 Auto Shotgun - M4 Super 90
Schmidt Machine Pistol - TMP
Ingram Mac-10 - Mac-10
KM UMP45 - UMP
MP5 Navy - MP5
ES C90 - P90
IDF Defender - Galil
Clarion - FAMAS
CV-47 - AK-47
Colt Carbine - M4A1
Bullpup - AUG
Krieg 552 - SIG 552
Para machine gun - M249
Schmidt Scout - Scout
AWP - The real name is actually AWM, for Arctic Warfare Magnum, the P in CSS supposedly stands for "Police".
Krieg 550 Commando - SIG 550
D3/AU-1 - G3

Of course, some of these weapons have "CSS names" and abbreviations that everyone understands. Things like auto-shotgun, auto-sniper and AK are obviously fine since everyone understands them. However, stuff like Bullpup, which is actually a rifle design where the magazine (oh and by the way, a clip and a magazine aren't the same) is located behind the trigger, Krieg, Colt, Clarion and Compact should be, in my opinion, unacceptable.

What do you folks think?
