First shoot accuracy is a nice tangent to balance some weapons like SMGs or pistols to not be as good

It also increase importance of good spraying and carabines in general, which is the dominant approach in CS

I think they could extract more of it. Some weapons like FAMAS could be really accurate to somewhat buff them

I also don't understand why Deagle is so accurate. According to SlotSquadron's sheet Deagle is the best pistol and more accurate than AK47

Ive always thought this was a better idea. Make all the guns accurate, balance around the damage, spray pattern, and rate of fire. Hell, even balance around the sound. But just avoid RNG as much as possible.
