Souvenir Five-SeveN | Hot Shot (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The pistol is recognisable by its pale frame and the neon-green highlights on the sights, trigger and rail under the slide. In Minimal Wear any marks are small and sit on edges, so in game it looks practically the same as a fresh copy. It suits buyers who want the clean look without paying for the top grade.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The slide is painted a flat dark olive, with the serrations at the rear left in the same tone. The frame, trigger guard and stippled grip are a pale cream, close to bone white.

Occasional tiny marks may appear on the slide edges or the tip of the front sight. The frame stays light and clean, and the green remains vivid. At normal distance in game the difference from Factory New is hard to see. The grip and controls look untouched.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir Five-SeveN | Hot Shot is 0–1; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (8% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in acid green, black or olive tones match the accents and the slide. Placements on the cream frame stand out most, while dark stickers on the slide blend in for a quieter look.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the pale frame shows grime more readily than darker finishes.
• Look at the slide edges, muzzle and sights first, as these lose paint before the rest of the pistol.
• Inspect the cream grip and trigger guard for dirt, which is easy to miss in small previews.
• Note any stickers or name tag, since they can change how well the copy matches your plans.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look in game without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who need a light, tidy base.
• In short: a sensible balance between appearance and cost.
