The AWPer Hand Level 1 Sniper Rifle This controversial bolt-action beaut is banned in thousands of countries, and with good reason: You could really hurt someone with this thing.

One Sniper to another, mate: Give Up! Click to listen — The Sniper on superior weapons

”

The AWPer Hand is a promotional primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a stylised AI Arctic Warfare Police from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

This weapon functions identically to the Sniper Rifle, but it reuses the old firing sound of the AWP from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Steam before August 21, 2012.

Trivia

• The item's name is a play on the phrase "upper hand", referencing the advantage the AWP's infamous stopping power gives in the Counter-Strike series.
• The item's description references the fact that the AWP is commonly banned in Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Source community servers.
• The weapon is incorrectly referred to as an AWP. The green color of its body suggests that it is either an AWM (Arctic Warfare Magnum) or a normal AW. AWP (Arctic Warfare Police) models have a black body.
• The Sniper never actually opens the ejection port; however, the handle does move.
