Beretta spread

Ahh, the Dual Berettas. Great looking. As for performance… did we mention that they look great? Not only are the Elites almost as weak as the Glock for each round fired, but they suffer from extreme recoil.

Lets face it, you won't buy the Berettas unless you're planning on going buck wild firing as fast as you can. Just look at the bullet-spread. Not only do the shots switch between the left and right guns, but your shot pattern will also reflect which gun each bullet came from.

If you aim in one place and fire very slowly, you will see that the bullets will end up slightly to the left and right of the middle of the crosshair. As if the accuracy of the Berettas wasn't bad enough, this little taste of realism only makes it worse.

Anyone who spends $1000 on these guns must be looking to rack up some style points. Put a couple of bullets into the enemy with a SMG or rifle, then bust out the Berettas and aim in at his head for the first couple of shots, and then his feet (to make him dance).

5-7 spread

It is unfortunate that the Five-Seven is such a weak gun. It should be much more powerful than what the numbers show us. In terms of damage, the Five-Seven is closest to the USP, but the Five-Seven's 20-round clip gives it a distinct advantage over the CT default weapon.

The best part about the Five-Seven is that it maintains a higher degree of accuracy than any other pistol while on the move. The bullet-spread screenshot shows a very tight grouping. Take advantage of that whenever you can. Two head shots is all it takes, and this is the easiest pistol to do it with.

The Five-Seven is a fine pistol, but for that kind of money, we'd rather buy a Desert Eagle.
