Recently i have noticed that opponent team players are saying not to use a gay gun while in the match. Which gun is Counter-Strike Global Offensive is called a gay gun? And why do people hate it so much? I have seen some real aggression towards it!
I don’t like auto snipers because it’s too easy to get kills and wall bangs with it. But I get annoyed of AWP because of skilled players only, the gun is ok!

They are the bad players being hating your weapon. Normally those “gay guns” refer back to the hated guns of the CS:GO community (P90, Autosnipers, scoped rifles) which they think are over priced and don’t require any skill to use it.

I hate the auto snipers sometimes, they simply feel overpowered at time. But it feels really inaccurate during continues fire

Well, I use the auto snipers. Mainly due to the fact I kept suffering for kills, I wasn’t used to the insane amount of spread that auto guns had as compared to other games, nor became I used to the manner bolt movements work in this sport so I struggled for a while, so even P90 and scoped rifles didn’t help. And in every game I play I use semi-auto snipers. What’s incorrect with them? I wasn’t in a position to absolutely even get a hit the usage of the AK but after using autos for a while I got many kills with the AK 47. Why do players hate auto snipers so much?

CSGO is a very competitive skill based game and a lot of the fan base has dedicated hours and years to playing the game and getting better at it. When they are killed by and auto-sniper or a p90 they feel like they have been cheated in some way because they spent a lot of time learning recoil pattern etc and then someone killed them with a gun that they consider to be easy to use (as opposed to one that has a learning curve where you start off horrible with it but over time you master it).
At the end of the day the players are just salty and toxic. Use whatever guns you feel comfortable with and most importantly whatever guns you have fun using.
It’s also good to note that with some practice the AWP is a lot more powerful than an auto-sniper and the AK is a lot more powerful than a P90 so the people you are killing actually have an advantage over you. So you’re getting those kills fair and square mate.

Gay-Gun
Gay-Gun is a term used in the video game Counter-Strike which refers to guns like the G3SG1 and the SCAR-20. Players using these guns are criticized as “Gay Gunners”
Gay-Guns receive so much hate because players using them tend to camp at a safe spot and easily gun down opponents.

It’s in the game anyway so what’s the point in hating them.

Yeah but, the AWP receives the same use most of the time, alongside the Negev and M249, so are these guns also that bad? Besides, the use is to no fault to the weapon, but to the person using it, as these weapons can also be used effectively while rushing on all ranges, so rushing with the gun is bad too?
I don’t understand why they are so hated, like camping is something done mostly with the AWP yet the SCAR-20 and G3SG1 are the weapons that are hated because of camping?
Just simply dumb when you think about it.

Yeah i too dont like people saying this, but sadly that’s how people are. The weapon is in the game and we cant use it! 
And if we ignore such players they will kick us from the game.
I know it’s been a very long time but i want to say, players sometimes use it as a derogatory way to refer to the Negev, a machine gun in the game. Now, why the hate? Well, some players find the Negev to be a bit overpowered, especially in certain situations. It’s got a high rate of fire and can mow down enemies pretty quickly, which can be frustrating to play against. Plus, its distinctive sound and spray pattern make it stand out even more. As for the aggression you’ve noticed, it’s unfortunate. Gaming communities can sometimes be toxic, and people might express their frustration in not-so-nice ways. Keep practicing, find the weapons that work best for your playstyle, and most importantly, have fun!
I’ve noticed that some players call the Negev a “gay gun” in matches, and it can lead to a lot of negativity. It’s mostly because the Negev is a big, heavy machine gun that’s often seen as overpowered or annoying to play against. People sometimes get frustrated with its use in games.
These guns get a lot of hate because some players see them as cheap—like, they’re easier to get kills with if you’re just holding a spot and waiting. People who’ve put in the time to master harder guns like the AK tend to get salty about it.
But honestly, just use what you like. I switch up my skins all the time too, and when I’m done with one, I’ll sometimes hit up for instant sell csgo skins to get some quick cash and grab something new.
In the realm of Counter-Strike, few topics ignite as much debate as the controversial auto snipers, the G3SG1 and SCAR-20. Often referred to derisively as “Gay-Guns,” these weapons are frequently criticized for being too easy to use, allowing players to spray bullets with minimal recoil. Unlike traditional snipers like the AWP, which require precision and skill, auto snipers enable even less experienced players to secure kills quickly from a distance. This has led to frustration among more skilled players who feel that the presence of auto snipers disrupts the flow of gameplay, particularly when players adopt a passive, camping strategy. By holding long-range positions and spamming shots, those wielding these rifles can often frustrate opponents, forcing them into a cautious approach that slows down the pace of matches. The community’s disdain for these weapons is palpable, with players often labeling users as “Gay Gunners” and subjecting them to verbal abuse in-game.
Despite the backlash, it’s essential to recognize that auto snipers aren’t inherently overpowered; they come with their own set of drawbacks. Priced at $5000, both the SCAR-20 and G3SG1 represent a significant investment, and their slow movement speed makes players vulnerable to flanks. Moreover, unlike the AWP, which can secure a one-shot kill, auto snipers often require multiple hits to eliminate an opponent. While some players view these weapons as tactical tools that offer a defensive playstyle, others see them as a crutch for those lacking skill. Ultimately, the debate surrounding auto snipers boils down to personal preference—some appreciate the added layer of strategy they bring, while others find them detrimental to the competitive experience. Regardless of where one stands, it’s clear that the G3SG1 and SCAR-20 will continue to spark controversy within the Counter-Strike community.
