I would like to create a sourcemod plugin for CS:GO, but I am unsure how much can be controlled with sourcemod. For example, would I be able to modify the amount of damage a gun does or its reload speed? If this isn't possible with sourcemod, is it possible at all by creating an entirely separate plugin in C++?

You could do both of those. I'd recommend doing it in sourcepawn and not C++ because you would be putting a lot more work into making an extension for something that easy.

Only go to C++ if you are really messing with something deep inside the server's core, otherwise try to do it with sourcemod because C++ extensions are a pain in the ass to deal with.
