Is there a method (probably some kind of SDK hook for changing entity information) to change CSGO weapon stats (like recoil values, damage, movement inaccuracy, etc)?
I've been looking all over the forums/google but haven't found much in the way of threads like that.
Most promising thing I could find was this plugin that changes weapon movement speed - but I don't know enough about sourcepawn to decipher the code and try to more generally apply it to other weapon stats.

edit: I've decided to move forward by editing items_game.txt, which was recommended against in other posts I've seen but it appears to be the only viable solution.
