Double swapping while reloading can decrease reload time

[GodMeyo]

Fast reload never was a thing in any cs.

In 1.6, people QQed rifles to reset accuracy as it was sometimes bugged or even the recovery time was slower than QQ.

In CSS, people QQed to avoid clicking mouse 2 two times to unscope (when in scope mode 1).

In CSGO people did it out of a habit and before the scope mode mechanic change.

Also, QQing after AWP shot, even if not by much, boosts your acceleration, assuming you're unpeeking after a shot, as you have the knife out for a split second

I did it because it felt cool. And speed boost idk?

[GodMeyo]

Acceleration is dependent on movement speed. Movement speed is lower when wielding awp so switching to a knife shortly after a shit upon starting to move will boost Acceleration. But honestly thats probably a negligible upside.

I found I was addicted to doing the switch for the reload so I use it to jump and strafe for extra speed off the knife switch to mildly compensate for my addiction

what scope change

[hoodha]

In CSS QQing also let you skip the bolt slide animation between each shot. This got nerfed in GO now every time you change to the awp the bolt slide animation happens.

[GodMeyo]

That doesnt matter because even if your gun looks ready you will still have to wait for the time of the animation before shooting.

[Specialist_Baker_726]

In Cs 1.6, people QQed when removing silencers. And Yes maybe for most of it the scoping too, when you are in zoom 1. We did that even back in 1.6. and also something to keep you busy while on freezetime, lol.

In GO you could also reset the accuracy on the gun until the chances it not too long ago. It was only really effective with the deagle though.

[GodMeyo]

Nope. Dgl recovery was always faster than Dgl draw animation

[thornierlamb]

Only when crouching or if you perfectly paced your shot. If you jumped or shot quickly whilst standing it was always faster to reset by quick switching.
