cl_crosshair_gap
Space between the center and the crosshair lines, in pixels. Sets the empty space in the middle of the crosshair, in pixels for the screen height set in cl_crosshair_screen_height. A small gap (0 to 2) keeps the lines close to the target's head; a negative value makes the lines overlap the center. On ClutchCrosshair, most pros use a gap of 1 or 2.
