While playing CS:S, I noticed that quite a few people would crouch when in a firefight. Is there any reason for this, like to reduce your hitbox or to reduce recoil from a weapon? I'm assuming the former, but of course to assume is to make an a** out of you and me. I've also heard about hitbox issues, does crouching take advantage of one?

Crouching offers several benefits:
smaller surface area to shoot at.
increases accuracy and reduces the recoil.
a moving target is harder to hit. (crouching during/immediately before a fight or through bunny hopping)
moving while crouched produces less sound.
