CS2 Weapon Animations in Reality
Contents
Lots of CS2 fans also love collecting knives and guns in real life. Usually, these players opt for airsoft weapons, which look near-identical to real rifles, blades, and pistols while being safe to use.
Some fans go even further and try to recreate Counter-Strike animations in real life. If you also want to learn some tricks from your favorite game, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve divided the weapons into several categories, so choose the one you like, watch the videos, and begin your training.
Knives & Zeus
We’ll start with the weapons for close combat, as they tend to have the most unusual animations (well, at least some of them do). Unfortunately, no one has recreated the Kukri knife animations yet because it’s rather difficult to learn to use such a big blade. What's more, it has a really complex moveset, with only the Butterfly knife CS live animation coming close to it in this regard.
It’s also important to mention that if you want to perform CS2 weapon animations in real life, you better train with wooden knives first. This way, you can improve your skills without injuring yourself or others. Only when you develop some basic skill should you start to use dull steel knives to feel their weight and prepare for doing tricks with combat blades. We know that sounds a bit boring, but trust us, it’s far better to be safe than sorry in this case.

Pistols
If you’ve already become a master of the knife (or aren’t interested in close combat anyway), it’s time to get to more interesting stuff. You can find an airsoft gun recreation of any pistol from Counter-Strike on the market. Furthermore, you’re always welcome to opt for your DIY skills to improve the items you purchase or even craft your own game-accurate replica. In either case, you can then use it to perform some pretty impressive CS2 reloads in real life.
It is not that difficult to replicate the best CS2 animations in real life if you choose to stick to pistols, as most of these have a pretty straightforward moveset. However, you should remember that combat pistols are much heavier than airsoft replicas. So, you better not try to spin a real-life Desert Eagle on your finger if you plan to ever use that finger again.

It may be difficult to find the airsoft replicas of PP-Bizon and P-90, so it may be quite challenging to find the tools to perform their CS2 animations in real life. Luckily, you can find a lot of tutorials on YouTube that will help you recreate the guns on your own (it’s easier than you think!). As for the animations, it's the usual reload and inspection from various sides — nothing too complicated.

Heavy Guns
The bad news is that the manufacturers of airsoft guns don’t produce MAG-7 and Sawed-Off guns, so you stand a strong chance to become the first CS2 fan to recreate them in real life. If you don’t feel like you want to spend months completing a DIY project, you better try some other weapon type.
It's also worth mentioning that you probably won't be able to do all the one-hand CS2 gun animations in real life, as machine guns are obviously quite heavy (more than 10 kg / 20 lbs).

Assault Rifles
Here’s something more realistic! Whether you choose AK-47 or M4A4, it’s awesome for recreating CS animations in real life. However, it’s better to keep the empty magazines in your pockets instead of throwing them away like the CS characters (they have a lot of those to spare, but do you?).

Sniper Rifles
Finally, it’s time for the big toys! In real life, each of these sniper rifles weighs nearly 5–7 kg (11–14 lbs), which makes them not ideal for tricks. Luckily, the airsoft replicas are far lighter, so you can easily recreate their CS2 weapon animations in reality.
