This gun is a Crate exclusive weapon and for good reasons. This gun is a total beast and has the most damage of any Assault Rifles tied only with AKM. However, unlike AKM this gun also has one of the best fire rates. (only behind M16A4) This gun is highly advised for the last few circles in the game if you are lucky enough to get your hands on this gun. However, one of the major drawbacks of this gun is its high reload time. Reloading while mid fight could easily lend you in trouble. Another drawback is that the gun doesn't have a slot for foregrip which makes it a little shaky mid fire. (more recoil) The gun uses the same bullets as AKM which are 7.62. The gun accepts a magazine and unlike other guns only accepts a suppressor. A scope can be added to the gun up to 6x. It has a mag size of 30 which can be upgraded to 40. It has a base damage of 49 and a fire rate of 0.08 seconds.
