Weapons
One of the unique features of the original incarnations of Counter-Strike was that it did not feature fictional weapons like most games, instead using only existing firearms used the world over by real terrorist groups, counter-terrorist squads, armed forces, and law enforcement officials. The weapons are, however, only semi-realistic: many of them are incorrect in small details such as the caliber of ammunition or in their naming. Others do not fire quite as their real-life counterparts do, and many of them are inaccurately 'mirrored', wherein the spent cases are ejected from the wrong side of the weapon.

When retail versions of the game were first released, most of the weapons were given fictional names, often with fictional manufacturers.

 Counter-Strike: Weapons Market
On September 22, 2006, Valve announced what they are calling the Counter-Strike: Weapons Market. Each week, prices for weapons will be set based on the percentage of weapons sales, much like how the demand curve in economics affects prices. This system was put into place on October 11, 2006 and only affects Counter-Strike: Source, not Counter-Strike 1.6 or Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. There will also be a cvar (console variable) for servers that do not wish to use the new Dynamic Market.

 Culture
Main article: Counter-Strike culture
Counter-Strike is famous for the culture surrounding it, which includes everything from professional gamers and leagues, to excessive cheating and disruptive behavior. Certain professional teams (such as SK, Team 3D and Team NoA) and players (Kyle Ksharp Miller and Emil HeatoN Christensen, for example) have achieved a measure of fame, and have come to earn a living out of it.
