Glock 18 is the second weapon in the game that can fire in two modes (burst - 3 shots, and single). A very dynamic and accurate pistol that harmoniously suits the attacking side against opponents without a helmet on their head.

Main technical characteristics of Glock 18

Glock has been the standard pistol for terrorists since the first versions of the counter. Therefore, in principle, its characteristics have not changed since 1999. But in the Global Offensive version the rage was fixed. That is, at close range you can kill in the head with one bullet if the enemy is not wearing a helmet (in cs 1.6, for comparison, it was necessary to give at least 2 bullets).

This device is the second and additional weapon on the terrorist side, if you did not buy another pistol, or did not pick it up in the previous round. The good thing about it is that there are 2 shooting modes.

In real life, the gun itself is very popular, and was designed specifically for intelligence agencies. Its main and main advantage is that it fires in two modes (semi-automatic and automatic).

There is also another very important fact with this pistol in the cs go game - its price. This is the cheapest weapon in the game, its cost is exactly $200. At close range, an indispensable pistol, especially in the first round of the side. Of course, there is no point in comparing it with other pistols, since it is inferior in almost all technical characteristics except movement speed.

Glock is the most ineffective device if the enemy has armor and a helmet (equipment for $1000). At point blank range you need to hit 2 bullets in the head, otherwise you will have to give 3 rounds. This is very difficult and time-consuming. The only option to kill an enemy is if the entire team attacks 1 enemy.

Glock pistol models

At the moment, the line has grown to enormous proportions, but we will list only the main models:

1. 17L is the very first modification of the main pistol, the only difference being the elongated barrel. Was created in 1988;
2. 18 - a specialized version for firing in bursts;
3. 19 is a more compact model. It has a shortened barrel of 102 mm (the original version was 114 mm). Until 1990, this modification had the Compact designation, which was eventually abandoned;
4. 20 - this sample is distinguished by the fact that it was created specifically for the 10 mm Auto cartridge, and also has an enlarged magazine and a built-in compensator;
5. 21 - It is often thought that this is a special Glock model for 45 caliber, however, the .45 ACP cartridge, contrary to its name, has a caliber of 11.51 mm. The clip is increased to 15 charges;
6. 22 is a model that was specially created to be used by the FBI. This version was created for the .40 S&W caliber. Created back in 1990, the model still remains relevant, and at the moment there is no news that they will change the service weapon in this US government agency;
7. 34 is one of the best modifications, which has an elongated barrel and has increased accuracy of fire. In fact, this model was created in Austria specifically in order to be exported. And now the US police are armed with it, in almost all its structures, as well as in Chile and Malaysia;
8. 39 is the penultimate Glock model, which is a shortened and smaller modification of it. In general, there is now a tendency to turn the Glock, which is already a small pistol, into some kind of “ladies’ weapon” of a completely miniature appearance.

Almost all options are goods for export, which are developed to order from other countries.

According to the classics of the genre, let's start from the most expensive to cheaper models. All prices are for devices of the “factory new” type. The Glock is a very popular weapon, as it is used in 95% of pistol rounds by terrorists. This happens because $800 at the start of the game does not allow you to buy a second armor (with a helmet). Due to their popularity, prices for skins will be appropriate.

In tournaments and in competitive play, at the beginning of the first rounds, the sides (terrorists and counters) are given $800 and no armor. These conditions may vary depending on the game mode. In the usual one there is no need to buy armor; there, according to the standard, it comes with the maximum (with a helmet).

How to play with a Glock 18 pistol

• Turn on the burst mode (3 bullets each) only at close combat distances, and it will be much more effective against the second armor. In another case, it is much better to shoot quickly, aiming for the head;
• At long distances, aiming will be important. In general, all pistols achieve a high level of shooting, compared to machine guns;
• The shooting mode can be switched depending on the situation itself. There is nothing wrong with switching the mode when approaching the enemy with a pre-fire (previously) shot at the target;
• The difference between the two modes is their cooldown (the time it takes to feed a cartridge into the chamber). In burst mode it is 3 times higher, so always think about which mode will work more efficiently;

LAUNCH PARAMETERS: All launch parameters in cs go, acceleration settings, increasing FPS, changing the monitor hertz...

• Burst is very convenient with tap exits (this is an exit from around a corner, aiming at the enemy in advance, making a shot and going back in). These actions can be continued until the enemy is completely destroyed;
• In small rooms (for example, carpets in Inferno), it makes sense to turn on the triple mode, because in the event of a sharp collision with an opponent at point-blank range, you can get 3 bullets in the head at once. This will leave him absolutely no chance of survival;
• In single bullet mode, always keep your sights on your enemy's head . And at the same time, it is necessary to take into account the recoil of the bullets. It looks exactly like this:
• One of the most important tips is that if your main weapon runs out of ammo, but you still haven’t managed to kill the enemy, then you need to change to a pistol and finish it off with a reloaded Glock . If in this case you are out of ammo, then you definitely need to do a good job of shooting practice;
• Since the Glock 18 is the weakest pistol in terms of technical characteristics in the game, when you see an enemy with another pistol you do not need to be afraid of him. You need to show good shooting, instant reaction and unpredictable actions;
• Keep all opponents with this pistol as far away as possible . Firstly, the Glock has a lot of range. And secondly, the probability of killing you if you are wearing a helmet is less than 5%;
• When moving, the bullet dispersion in this pistol is the smallest. Therefore, a very good recommendation would be to always try to move while shooting. This will make it more difficult for the opponent to hit the body;

The following video will help you understand what miracles you can do with Glock. Cool moments from professional tournaments:

Description

In the second half of the 20th century, the Austrian Federal Police (namely the special unit Einsatzkommando Cobra) had a requirement for a weapon that would fire in bursts, but would also be very light and compact.

So in 1986, the Glok 18 model appeared. This weapon had a predecessor - the Glock 17 (Glock-17), but it had some differences - it did not have the ability to change firing modes.

Model 18 can fire both single shots and bursts (about 1200 - 1300 shots in one minute). This model has different modifications, some of which can fire bursts of three shots, and some with auto-fire. Another difference between the Glock 17 and 18 is the dimensions of a large number of parts. Accordingly, the latest model turned out to be an order of magnitude more compact.

As for the sight on the pistol, it can be removed. It is inserted into grooves, which are called the “dovetail” type. In standard models, the sight is not adjustable, but special luminous dots are applied to the device itself (in some cases they can be white), which would be convenient in poor light. The cartridges are staggered in a double-row box magazine. This one holds 17 charges. There are modifications with increased capacity, they include 19, 31 or 33 cartridges. Such stores are completely emptied in a couple of seconds.

The Glock 18 can be upgraded with a set of additional accessories. The most popular ones are tactical stocks, a spare magazine (which serves as a front handle) and brackets that are needed to mount red dot sights.

Facts about Glock 18

• In the first version of CS:GO, the glock was not available for counters . That is, it could not be bought. And with the 2013 update this was fixed;
• 97% of the time on the professional cyber scene, athletes play with the semi-automatic mode, one bullet at a time . If we compare it with cs 1.6, then this figure was almost 65%;
• The Glock 18 is always used by law enforcement. And in the game Counter-Strike - terrorists;
• CS GO model Glock 18 is visually taken entirely from the Glock-36 model (the original version of the visual appearance of the pistol);
• You can set the mouse scroll to fire , and firing from this gun will be much faster than just quickly pressing the mouse1 or mouse2 button. But, of course, the accuracy will be very weak.

Glock pistols: 7 popular “myths” and their debunking

Despite the fact that our fellow citizens will not see personal short-barreled weapons for self-defense for a long time, they need to be able to understand them at least a little. Let it be theoretically, let it be at the level of “click here, shoot there,” but it’s necessary. You never know how life will turn out... And so we will tell you something interesting about Glock pistols.

Why Glock? Oh, there are as many as 7 reasons for this, or rather, myths that surround only very popular things. So…

The content of the article

Glock pistols are the most common short-barreled weapons in the world.

Partly true. Yes, Glocks are very popular among law enforcement officers. The same Glock 17 and its various variations are in service with the law enforcement forces of Norway, Austria, Canada, Mexico, the USA and a bunch of other NATO countries. Not to mention America, where Glock pistols are generally a ubiquitous phenomenon.

But other brands can boast of the enviable popularity of their pistols. We are talking about the arms companies CZ (Czech Republic), Beretta and Tanfoglio (Italy), Walther and Heckler & Koch (Germany), FN (Belgium) and Colt (America).

In Russia, the APS (Stechkin Automatic Pistol), PYa (Yarygin Pistol) and PM (Makarov Pistol) pistols are extremely popular among security forces, and the Glock pistol is only gaining momentum.

Glock has no safety

This is perhaps the main feature of the pistol. The Glock has three safeties (on the trigger, on the hammer and shockproof), and all of them are automatic. In order to start shooting, you do not need to intentionally press a button or switch the safety switch, the protection system will work automatically.

And this is also the reason why Glock pistols are categorically not recommended for beginners, so that they do not shoot something at themselves.

Glock is well suited for people who use weapons for work or sport and who train for several hours every day. The same law enforcement officers hone their skills in using Glock to the point of automaticity. And they are very pleased that there is no need to make unnecessary movements to remove the pistol from the safety.

Glock is invisible to metal detectors

A lie, of course, but there is a grain of truth here. The Glock actually shows up quite poorly on detectors because half the design is heat-resistant plastic. At least the latest models.

But the recognizable outline of the weapon, which is visible on the detector screen, is still preserved. Plus, it has not yet been possible to replace some parts with plastic, so it will “ring” like any other weapon. And the myth that it can still be carried unnoticed appeared after the release of the film “Die Hard 2” and Bruce Willis’s phrase about it.

Plastic makes the Glock pistol weigh too little

Yes, the gun is relatively light, but not too light. Lightening the design is the main reason why heat-resistant plastic began to be used. It really significantly reduced the weight of the pistol, while maintaining the proper level of strength.

An unloaded Glock 17 weighs about the same as three full rounds of ammunition—51 9x19 rounds. These are 649 and 612 grams, respectively. When fully loaded, the pistol weighs 941 grams (pistol with magazine and 18 rounds). Which is comparatively more than that of PM. But given the greater power, this is quite logical.

The plastic Glock pistols are made of is fragile and short-lived.

And this myth is almost the opposite of the previous one. The official name of the plastic used in the production of Glocks is Polymer 2 . There is information that this is simply an alternative name for another material - Glass-Reinforced Zytel® Nylon from DuPont. Which, by the way, is used to produce especially durable sneakers. So far, no one has been able to refute this information.

Glock has an extremely complex design and a lot of parts

The base model Glock 17 has only 34 components. For comparison, the same PM of component parts has 32 positions. That is, Glock pistols are very easy to disassemble and repairable.

And taking into account the fact that Western gunsmiths are more inclined towards reliability at the expense of complexity, the Glock was almost a revolutionary concept.

The Glock is dangerous and very easy to accidentally shoot

Partially true, but remember that “guns don’t kill, people kill.”

Yes, the lack of a mechanical safety can play a cruel joke on the shooter. Gaston Glock himself, after creating experimental models, preferred to work with the new pistol using only one hand - his left. That is, reload, and pick up, and clean. The gunsmith rightly feared that even an accidental pull on the trigger could trigger a shot.

Beginner Glock users are also afraid of this, but with practice the fear goes away quite quickly.
