The Economics
The price gap is $100: the P2000 costs $200 against $300 for the P250. On a full buy with armor and utility (~$1,000-1,400 on top of the gun), that difference decides whether a third teammate can buy a smoke or a flash — weapon choice is a team-economy decision, not just a personal one. Both pay the same $300 per kill, so neither builds economy faster. Run full round scenarios in the economy calculator.
Bottom line: The P250 leads in 4 of 13 stats, giving it an overall advantage over the P2000. Raw output favors the P250 (253 DPS vs 206), but CS2 rounds are won on first-shot accuracy and positioning — treat the stat edge as a tiebreaker, not the decision.
