Why does it have 6? In nearly every game depicting the AWP its magazine size is 10 (notably CSS), and it doesn't really do anything to balance it, its damage is comparable to the scout as is. The change, +the fact it now spawns on vanilla maps, just means it's not preferable over the scout, which kinda makes it obsolete, particularly as a Supporter< weapon. I just don't want to be as old when it was an inaccurate, and louder version of the scout
The AWP is objectively better than the scout. It does 10 more damage and has a higher firerate whilst the other stats are the same. I don't know what you're talking about it not being preferable over the scout. Clip size doesn't really matter on a sniper anyway so it's whatever.
If AWP had 10 shots it would be a straight upgrade from the Rifle, making rifle a shit gun in comparison. The point is you can do more bodyshot damage with the trade-off of having less shots per clip. o yea also the awp shoots way faster so in a lot of ways it's already a better gun than the Rifle. 1 bad spelling rating = 1 agree
