Description
High risk and high reward, the infamous AWP is recognizable by its signature report and one-shot, one-kill policy. Gold snakes creep towards the barrel of this custom painted AWP. The scope, barrel, and butt stock have been painted white. Cutting off one head means two more appear—is that a risk you're willing to take? - Valeria Jenner, Revolutionary
