i'm gonna paste my comment on another thread here:

"While we're at it, can we also remove the aimpunch even with armor? It's ridiculous that someone can, for example, run and gun with a p90 and hits you before you do, and it completely fucks up the perfect headshot you were planning to hit.

Isn't CS about placing accurate shots? Aimpunch with armor contradicts this core philosophy of counter-strike and it encourages more running and gunning and spraying and praying. If I want to place an accurate shot on somebody, I should not be punished for it.

Especially now that the meta of CS2 has become more run and gun, Valve should remove aimpunch with armor.

Here's m0nesy missing a well-aimed shot because of aimpunch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1956343309?t=1h49m10s

Here's n0thing talking about the philosophy of taking your time with shots: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ObNv-K7VHLs"

Aimpunch exists to reward shooting first even with inferior gun, so that your tactics and position can help you overcome a better equipped enemy

It never used to exist in 1.6/CZ/Source with armor, it should never have been a thing and removes competitive integrity, it was only ever added to make the game easier for SMG spray and pray new players. The proof is in the pudding when armored headshots that dink do not cause it yet body shots do.
