Icon	Variant	Faction	Role	Sight	Ammo	Accessories	Note
	AKMS	INS		Iron sights, ranging 100-800m	7 mags
	KLT	MEA		Iron sights, ranging 100-800m	7 mags		Replaced G3A3 in some kits in Version 8.2

Gameplay

• The AKMS magazine holds 30 rounds.
• Can be fired on automatic and semi-automatic.
• The sights for the AKMS include iron sights only.
  • The iron sight allows the user to zero the rifle for different ranges (from 100-800m).
• The AKMS and AKM have the same damage model and ballistic performance.
  • The 599 rounds per minute rate of fire is one the lowest end for an automatic weapon.
  • It also shares its damage model with RPD but with a much lower fire rate at 600 RPM and a slightly higher accuracy at 4 MOA.
  • Compared to other small caliber rifles, 7.62×39mm rifles have higher close-range damage but a shorter effective range.
• AKMS is classified in-game as Short Rifle. Short rifles and Carbines are well-balanced in handling.
  • Compared to smaller caliber Short Rifles, 7.62×39mm rifles have slightly more moving sway and ADS sway, and marginally higher randomized hip fire recoil. But their overall point firing responsiveness and ADS recoil are the same.
  • They also output more suppression effects akin to Light Machine Guns.
• The KLT that is used by the MEA is an Iranian copy of the AKMS

History

The AKMS is a long-stroke piston operated, rotating bolt assault rifle. The AKMS is a folding stock variant of Kalashnikov's AKM assault rifle. The AKMS has an under-folding metal shoulder stock, a slant-cut muzzle brake, a modified trigger assembly, improved iron sights, and a new gas block. Like its parent, the AKM, the AKMS uses 7.62x39 mm cartridges.

Trivia

• The AKMS stands for Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizirovanniy Skladnoy (Автомат Калашникова Модернизированный Складной) which means in English from Russian, "Kalashnikov automatic rifle, modernized, folding."
• During the alpha, the weapon was referred to as an "AKM-S."
