Spray Patterns AND Recoil Compensation (side-by-side) for all CS:GO Weapons

By BenVin

Improve your aiming while spraying. See the Spray Patterns of all CS:GO weapons right beside its Recoil Compensation pattern.

This CS:GO Guide was written for two reasons:

To improve your skills in CS:GO by learning about the spray pattern of your favorite weapons and a way to compensate the recoil, so you can aim fairly accurately while spraying on close to medium distances.
To show the work of twowordbird in the best possible light. I couldn't find a well formated, side-by-side overview (not even on his website) of his great animated spray pattern, so here it is.

Navigating this guide:

Use the navigation on the right hand side to skip weapon categories.
The written guide is at the bottom, below the animated spray patterns.
Better formatting quick overview on our website: http://csgoskills.com/academy/spray-patterns/

BASICS

The spray pattern of any weapon in CS:GO is a result of:

Inaccuracy
Recoil

________________________________________________________________________________________________

INACCURACY

Inaccuracy adds a measure of randomness to the otherwise fixed recoil pattern. It is different for every weapon and is affected at least by the following factors:

Running > Walking > Standing > Ducking
Jumping
Climbing ladders
Number of shots fired / time
The current mood of the dev team

________________________________________________________________________________________________

RECOIL

Recoil is the fixed pattern unique to each weapon and weapon mode (scoped or silenced). Generally is goes up and then to the sides. To test the recoils pattern for any weapon without the inaccuracy, use this command in the console:

sv_cheats 1 // Allow cheats on server
weapon_accuracy_nospread 1 // Disable weapon inaccuracy spread

The recoil effect is reset when you stop shooting and you wait until

the dynamic crosshair is back to default (if you use dynamic crosshair)
the weapon model is back in default position (useful if you don't use dynamic crosshair)

________________________________________________________________________________________________

COMPENSATION

You have most likely already learned to pull down after the first shots to compensate for the upward motion of the spray pattern. Once you have mastered that, start to compensate for the sideways motion as well. Every weapon has a different timing required to compensate properly. The following animations should help to understand the general flow of the spray pattern and the mouse movement needed to compensate, but in-game timings might be a bit different.
