CS2 weapon stats and time to kill

From CS2's own weapon file, weapons.vdata, as tracked by SteamDB: SteamDatabase/GameTracking-CS2@04d3e4a67ac6 game/csgo/pak01_dir/scripts/weapons.vdata, CS2 1.41.9.2 (build 2000935). Prices, damage, fire rate, magazines and movement speed are the game's values, not measurements.

Each bullet starts at the gun's damage and loses a share for every 500 units it travels, set by the gun's range modifier. A head hit multiplies it by the gun's headshot multiplier (4 for most guns), a stomach hit by 1.25 and a leg hit by 0.75. Kevlar covers the body and arms, and a helmet adds the head: armour lets the gun's armour penetration through to health and absorbs the rest, using up armour as it does. Legs are never armoured. Past its maximum range a bullet stops: the MAG-7 and Sawed-Off deal nothing beyond about 36 m.

Yes, against 2,624 hits sampled from 18 real demos. No hit lands more than one point above the prediction, and for each weapon, hit location and armour state with at least 10 hits the median is within one point. Hits that kill or go through a wall read lower, because the game caps damage at the health left and walls absorb some. A hit that always kills from full health, such as an AK-47 headshot, is checked only against that upper bound.

Every bullet hits the chosen spot, from the first shot of a fresh trigger pull, against 100 health with 100 armour when armour is worn. Time to kill runs from the first shot to the killing shot at the gun's fire rate, so a one-shot kill takes 0 ms. Shotguns land every pellet. Real fights add spread, recoil and movement, so treat it as the best case.
