Galil AR

Burst 3–5 bullets at mid and long range — the Galil's spray scatters sideways sooner than the AK's.

Play for the dink-plus-one: a helmet headshot leaves enemies at single-digit HP, so any follow-up finishes.

Use the 30/90 ammo pool to spam smokes and common walls — no other T-side budget buy can afford that.

Force-buy Galil + armor beats Galil + utility on most teams; without armor the first duel usually decides the round anyway.

Fight at close-to-mid range where its fire rate matters, and avoid crossing long AWP lanes on force rounds.

Pick up any dropped AK immediately — the Galil is a bridge, not a destination.
