Tactics[]
Original[]
- Due to its low recoil, firing continuously will only affect a small change to its performance. However, when fired more than five bullets in a row, it is no longer accurate. Take cover for fire break.
- Use semi-automatic mode in medium to long range battles.
- Treat the three-round burst as a shotgun, use it for close range battles.
- Although it has high magazine size (20), it is recommended for conserving its bullet because it needs minimum two hits to kill a full health enemy.
- Its high rate of fire can be used as an advantage to kill an enemy with an instant.
- Five shots on gut will kill an enemy.
- A headshot is necessary for pistol rounds if starting budget is $800, even it does not kill the enemy instantly (100 HP without helmet). But it may help others to finish the target and/or push back the enemy.
Zombie Mods[]
- Use Glock to run away from the zombies when the primary weapon has run dry, as it has high stun power and high magazine size but don't use it to hunt and kill the zombies.
- Fire in 3-round burst and run as quick as possible.
- This is highly recommended for escaping from zombie chase.

Trivia[]
- During the earlier stages of Counter-Strike, it had an additional drawing and reload animations as well as an idle animation.
- These animations are only available until Counter-Strike 1.5 and removed in Counter-Strike 1.6.
- This resulted in the reloading animation getting out of sync with the sound, meaning that the reloading sound will end before the reloading animation does.
- There are some unused sequences in the Glock's model file, such as 'add_silencer' and 'holster'. However, playing these animations will show slowed-down shooting animations.
- These sequences are actually remnants from Half-Life's Glock animations, again similarly unused.
- The Glock in-game is modeled after the Glock 17 with an protruding barrel instead of a Glock 18, lacking the latter's selector switch
- The real-life Glock 18 can be fired in fully-automatic and semi-automatic only, instead of 3-round burst.
- The Battle Glock and the Oz Lion Pistol however has both semi-auto and full-auto modes, despite still lacking the selector switch.
- Despite its proper model absence in-game, the Glock 18 did appear in selection icons for 707 and Gerrard.
- The Oz Lion Pistol is based on the Cowardly Lion, a main fictional character from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a children's novel written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow.
- The words "COURAGE" can be seen printed on the Oz Lion Pistol's barrel.
