Why do the pro players use p2000

[Dyson H]

Why do alot of pro players prefer the P2000 when alot of people reccomend the USP-S?

[Eddie]

I cant shoot for ♥♥♥♥ with USP-S but i'm insanely good with P2000. Jus try them both out and see what you're best with.

It's a case of habit and skill. Use what you want and what you can

P2000 gives more damage on non armor oppo .. And has better accuracy

I love the p2000 and do way better with it than the usp, but I've seen people do awesome with the usp. Just depends. Personally I like the amount of ammo and somehow seem to naturally counteract the recoil, it's literally my favorite pistol. It all just comes down to person preference.

There are just SLIGHT differences. I'd say if your playstyle benefits from a silencer, use the USP-S...

Same damage (35)
Same armor penetration (50.5%)
Same penetration power (100)
Same kill award ($300 (Competitive) $150 (Casual))
Same movement speed (240)


Negative

Silencer unavailable
Worse recoil control value (19 vs 18)
