Description

The grandchild of the venerable Kalash 47.

Background

Main article: AK-97

Created in the image of the legendary AK-47, the AK-97 is the latest in the assault rifle line. It was created for the Comintern Combine nations of Europe and Africa, but saw large distribution throughout the world before the war. It is chambered for 7.62mm ammo and fires from a 25-round magazine. This highly-respected weapon is fairly commonplace.

Characteristics

Damage can be increased from various bonuses. However, it is not recommended to waste high-tier mods on this weapon, due to low damage output. Especially not recommended to use rare and expensive damage type conversion mods.

Physical damage maximization example +8 Damage from Titanium-Cobalt Barrel +8 Damage from Toxic Linkage or Crippling Linkage or Razor Linkage +33% Ranged damage from Sadomasochist quirk at the cost of +33% Received damage +35% Ranged damage from Awareness at level 10 +25% Ranged damage from Threat Intelligence helmet modification at the cost of -6 Armor Applying all bonuses (+16 Damage +93% Ranged damage) leads to the following result: 82 - 94 x3 (246 - 282) damage in weapon stats. The damage dealt to targets will depend on the armor they are wearing and the armor penetration rate on your character.
