Galil Video Tutorial by Hatton (old but still one of the best)

Tapping with the Galil only makes sense when playing against unarmored opponents, since you can’t kill them with a single shot. It’s still worth practicing for long distance combat, but mostly bursting is preferred, due to it’s the high accuracy of the first 3-4 shots. Tapping avoids spray effects altogether. Since it take only milliseconds to reset, you can still shoot pretty fast and very precise.

Timer: 10:00 min

Task
Shoot once at a blank wall and choose a spot about 2 meters left or right at close range and shoot once again. Now try to hit these spots alternatingly, close around the first entry holes, one bullet at a time. In general, focus on bursting and spraying with the Galil.

Hint
Start a local offline game without bots on de_dust2. Set the warmup time to 10 minutes by entering 'mp_warmuptime 600'. You can restart the warmup at any time with 'mp_warmup_start'.

Bursting with the Galil is the its most effective shooting technique in most circumstances. As mentioned before, the first 3-4 bullets in a Galil burst are very accurate, but the following spray can be hard to control. If you practice bursting and you do not have dynamic crosshair (most don’t these days), you know that your aim is reset, when your weapon model is back into default position (it goes up and back while bursting). You can use bursting in combination with side stepping / strafing in order to be harder to hit. Use bursting especially for medium to long distances with the Galil. Do not use the burst mode in close range combat.

Timer: 20:00 min

Task
Shoot at a blank wall and line up bursts of 3-6 shots closely around the first shot.

Hint
Start a local offline game without bots on de_dust2. Set the warmup time to 20 minutes by entering 'mp_warmuptime 1200'. You can restart the warmup at any time with 'mp_warmup_start'.

Spraying can be effective with the Galil in short and medium distance fights against multiple opponents. The spray pattern is a bit more complicated than the AK-47s. Even if you don’t hit a headshot (for which you should always aim) the first hit will most likely throw off your opponents aim. To learn to control the spray pattern of the Galil try the following aiming exercise.

Mastering the full spray takes a lot of practice time to master. To speed up your learning curve, look at the following animated pray patterns by twowordbird. The first shows the exact spray pattern (without randomness) of the Galil, while the second show the movement your mouse needs to do to compensate it. Try to follow the seconds pattern with your mouse, then try to repeat it in the game. To learn to control the spray pattern of the Galil try this aiming exercise, which we already shared in the "How to aim better" Guide.

• Open an empty server
  
  • e.g. map de_dust2_se
• Configure the server for training in the console
  
  • sv_cheats 1 (Cheat Mode on)
    
  • impulse se 101 (16000 money)
    
  • sv_showimpacts 1 (show impacts)
    
  • sv_infiniteammo 2 (infinite ammo)
• Buy an Galil
  
• Practice:
  
  • shoot against a wall and control your spray pattern
    
  • start with trying to do only single shots
    
  • then 2 which also usually land on the exact same spot, depending on the weapon
    
  • then 3, now practice to pull down at the right moment to land all bullets on the same spot
    
  • then 4 and so on
    
  • progress to more shots only when you have mastered one level
