If a CT is watching Long A and you know he is aiming at the door with his 1 shot kill. What can you do? First, you know they are pretty weak in close range and may switch to deagle if they are aware that their weapon or skill may fail in it. Now, to make them fail their shots throw a grenade near the door and once the grenade has exploded you can start trying to bhop or to strafe jump. Then it's all about trying to get near him to spam your gun.

Every gun has it's own weakness. You only need to know their strengths and how to counter their weakness. Yes I'm aware that the 1 shot kill is pretty great advantage, but that doesn't mean it is better than all. If you have played well long to know that the AWP has one of the most slowest units per second, time between shots can fail when multiple enemies are rushing.
