If anyone wants to have a fantastic read about mice that is updated not long ago look here  

Pistols:
Glock - High rate of fire in semi-auto. Has a switch-able Semi-auto to burst fire mode. Is the default pistol for Terrorists (T)
P2000 - Inflicts more damage stat wise than the Glock but is slightly less accurate than the USP-S.
USP-S -Same with P200 but comes with detachable silencer and has a 12/24 capacity
P250 - Capable of one shot kills to the head even with helmet equipped. Inflicts more damage than the Glock, USP-S and the P2000 and is very cheap. $300.
CZ75-AUTO - Same as p250 but fully auto.
Five-Seven - Large ammo capacity, 20/100 magazine capacity. Also has good accuracy while standing, moving and crouched. Low recoil and relatively good against Kevlar opponents. Is only Counter-Terrorist (CT) Pistol.
Dual barettas(Elite) - One of the fastest pistols, with only the CZ75-AUTO beating it. Very large ammo capacity for the pistol category, 30/120. A recent update has moved the price to $800 to $500 allowing it to be a great pick for pistol rounds.
Deagle - Known for being one of the best pistols in the Counter-Strike series. Very high damage output, able to one shot, headshot enemies even with helmets. Recent update has improved it's first shot and second shot accuracy while standing and crouched.
Tec-9 -Terrorist (T) only pistol, replaces the Five-Seven slot for Counter-Terrorists (CT) Very high ammo capacity. 32/120. Can kill in a single shot to the head even with helmet equipped. A recent update has changed the Tec-9 to make it more viable as it was not seeing much play at all. Giving it a better standing still first shot accuracy than before.
Sub-Machine Guns:
MP9/MAC10 -High recoil, Bad accuracy outside of close range, Poor damage per bullet, High spread, Poor armor piercing.  
Bizon - Bad accuracy, Very poor damage. High ammo capacity 64/120.  
MP7 - Recommended for its accuracy and damage output. Second most expensive SMG. P90 - Easy spray control and high damage output, but very expensive and small kill reward for an SMG.  
UMP-45 - Easy to control spray pattern, high damage per shot, very cheap and a high kill reward.
Shotguns: (All shotguns give a $900 kill reward.)
MAG-7 - High damage with a fast pump action, draw and reload time. Has a 5/32 ammo capacity.  
Nova - Lowest spread thus needing better user accuracy for it to be used effectively. Sawed-Off - Has a 610 unit range limit, with the "pellets" disappearing after a certain range it's highly not recommended unless you know you are in very close quarters.  
XM1014 - Semi-Automatic firing, high recoil and will require two shots to kill unless hit in the head.
Rifles:  
AK47 - High recoil, but amazing damage output. Your go-to rifle as Terrorist.  
M4A4 - Consistent spray pattern all the way, but not as high damage output as the AK. Your go-to rifle as a CT.  
M4A1-S - Same as M4A4 but comes with a detachable silencer and has a 20/40 capacity. It also has a small recoil pattern than the M4A4.  
Famas - The 'force buy' weapon of the M4. In other words, the economic version of it. Galil - Same as Famas.  
AUG - Tighter spray pattern than M4A4, but slightly higher recoil and lower rate of fire. SCAR-20/GS3G1 (Auto) - Great damage output and rate of fire, but doesn't got that 'peek threat' which AWP has.  
AWP - Highest damage output of all weapons in the game, but also the lowest rate of fire as well. Easy to get pinned down with.  
Scout -High damage, Relatively high unscoped accuracy, It's accurate at the peak and descent of a jump, Slightly faster rate of fire than the AWP, User suffers a lower speed penalty than with AWP, User maintains same speed when moving while using the scope. A recent update has change the price to $1700.

CS:GO - P2000 vs USP-S vs USP by 3kliksphilip

 

Which would win in a fight? Depends on the situation, of course, but I prefer the sound of the USP-S, which is obviously the most important thing...

Summarised:
P2000
- More ammo
- One extra shot per clip
- No silencer distraction
- Shorter weapon (Can't be seen around corners as much)

USP-S
- Quieter
- More accurate
- Looks awesome
