Trivia
- Thunderbolt is a symbolic representation of lightning when accompanied by a loud thunderclap.
- Other players can also hear the lock-on sound. This is also the first weapon in Counter-Strike Online to feature lock-on target function.
- A blue trail can be seen when a user shot the Thunderbolt. For Lightning Rail, yellow trail can be seen.
- This is the first sniper rifle that can do instant kill even on the legs.
- The word "RG2" can be found on the buttstock. It is possible acronym for Rail Gun 2.
- The word "MG" can be seen in Lightning Rail's.
- The scope emits neither sounds nor color changes when it is aimed at NPCs.
- There was a weird B with circle sprite can be seen when the weapon is shot to a wall in Singapore/Malaysia version. This is caused by a missing sprite file and was fixed in later updates.
- This also happened in the Taiwan/Hong Kong version but with an arrow instead of the circled B. This has been fixed too in later updates.
- The user still reloads the gun even though the weapon have already run out of ammo due to the fact that its reload animation shares the same sequence as shoot animation.
- This is one of the few weapons that does not play a reload animation in third person view.
- Oddly though Lightning Rail is using EOTech sights, it can zoom twice and has Thunderbolt's crosshair.
