Personally, I love playing with FF. But on most public servers where I live it is off.
I was wondering if that applies to molotovs and such?
With FF off, can I throw a molotov into a choke point and then have my teammates run through unscathed? If yes, that seems like a really slick tactical trick…
The points are distributed as follows:
Inspecting a weapon has no effect on gameplay. What happens is, some weapons feature StatTrak capabilities, which add a "kill" counter to all of your weapons. Sometimes, like for knives, the kill counter is etched into the knife, where for guns, it's counted through a display.
Inspecting your weapon will allow you to view the kills you have (if you have a StatTrak version) and look at your brand spanking new gun/shank/thing. See below:
Notice the kill counter in the side of that AUG. It reads "000006".
Note, you can simply click or switch weapons to get out of inspect mode. Going into inspect mode doesn't force you to wait through the whole animation.

Yes, when friendly fire is off incendiaries will not cause damage to your teammates. Yes this can be abused by players who are coordinating well enough.
In ye olde CS and CS: Source, a number of tactics on non-FF servers would crop up that took advantage of this. My favorite was placing one or two people at a door and then having the rest of the team nuke the area with grenades. The people at the door would then immediately breach while the grenades were going off. There was a pretty good chance you would catch the opposing team in mid-retreat, and the additional force from the breaching players would usually lock down the spot.
This isn't a big deal though, since non-FF servers are more for casual play. Nobody playing competitively would be on these servers anyway.
