RUSSIAN WEAPONRY

The AK 16 is the service rifle distributed to riflemen during the third world war to russian troopers. Its reliability and stopping power make it a good all-round rifle capable for medium range engagements. It is the last iteration of the proven kalashnikov platform.

The AK18 is an alternative of the previous AK16, made to use the more modern yet smaller 5.45x39mm round. Meaning that it trades some stopping power for lighter recoil, more ammo that can be carried, and the AK18 being a bit lighter than the AK16.  

The AK26 is a bullpup rifle designed to be mass produced since the early 2020s. It soon became a staple of ACMF in the pre-flash world, thanks to its large-scale availability. It was often sold to other ACMF member nations, e.g Iran and Turkey as well as mercenary companies. 

The AN94 is a rather rare weapon, having a two-round “hyper” burst which has a fire rate of over 1800 RPM. Accompanied by its 5.45x39mm rounds it's a fierce weapon to be up against. The weapon is held back by various issues due to the complex firing mechanic as well as a high production cost. 

A shorter and more compact version of the previously mentioned AK-18. This carbine variant has a shortened barrel and a foldable skeleton stock. It was usually deployed with a foregrip that could be customized and locked under the barrel to improve the control per user preference. 

A small bullpup carbine with a high fire rate that came with an optional underbarrel shotgun. The jackal is designed for use by Ventrox operatives. As similar to what often entailed their missions, which was close combat and fast paced, this carbine reflected the needs for that. The caliber and high fire rate are destructive at close range but the firearm is not recommended to be used further than medium-ranges due to issues with its accuracy 

Favored for its compact size, the PP2022 is a PDW/SMG that fires a 9mm cartridge and is based on its previous PP2000 version. The newest version was made with more modular customization in mind. Compared to the AK-18K it lacks raw stopping power but is far lighter and easier to carry along with other supplies. Some personnel prefer the PP2022 for this very reason as well as ammunition being far more available post flash. A tactical light as well as laser pointers can be attached to the bottom of the foregrip. 

A cheap, reliable, and battle proven SMG. The Vityaz has been in service since 2004, up until the third world war where the gun became popular in the hands of people who couldn’t carry large battle rifles or something too heavy for their duties. Modern iterations of the Vityaz included a battery powered holographic sight, a flashlight and a muzzle break, feeding off of 30 round 9mm mags. 

This 40 rounds top-fed magazine high fire rate submachine gun was designed specifically for use by the VENTROX Elite. Sporting a high fire rate, accuracy and interchangeable suppressed barrel. It was a high quality weapon and the end product shows as maintenance is relatively easy and jamming issues almost unheard of. However due to the cost of production, it is a very rare sight after 2032. 

A pump action shotgun with an “inverted cycle” operation. The feeding tube is placed over the barrel rather than under it and another shell is chambered by moving the slide forward to back, unlike most pump action shotguns. The Russian military had commissioned an exclusive variant from the manufacturer that addressed some inconveniences the weapon had originally. 

A semi-action shotgun that originates from russia. A follow up of sorts to the Saiga 12, it was a common shotgun that performed well in close quarters thanks to its relatively high fire rate. It was developed early during the war but quickly found itself to be a popular pick in the Russian arsenal. This weapon was often sold to other ACMF member nations as well. 

The Vepr-12 is a semi automatic shotgun patterned after the original kalashnikov rifle with a heavier RPK style receiver. The Russian military commissioned a variant with an integrated foregrip for shocktroopers and is supplied with  10 round magazines. With an effective firing range of 100 meters the Vepr-12 is devastating in the right hands. 

Pre-flash, the Bellic-77 was designed to be a modernization attempt at the classic RPK. Also referred to as the “RPK-18”, the Bellic-77 has been given its name to one of the lead engineers in the weapon’s development. The gun feeds off of 45 round magazines by default but can use drum magazines and features an integrated bipod. 

The latest iteration of the PKP general purpose machine gun.  Made from Titanium it features a picatinny rail, a telescopic folding stock and an additional handle. Most were deployed with a bipod. The machine gun can be fitted to several light vehicles but was mostly seen in the hands of infantry. A classic and proven weapon in the hands of the heavy infantry. 

This belt-fed open bolt fully automatic light machine gun was unknown up until it saw the light of day outside of Russia in the late 2010’s. Originally designed to supplement a filling role between the heavier Pecheneg and Bellic-77 as a middle ground of sorts. It comes with an integrated optic for accurate firing. The larger size of the optic was ridiculed in a popular WW3 propaganda campaign in the USA. 

The latest modern iteration of the SVD line of Russian precision rifles. With a good stability for follow up shots and easily reloadable 10 round magazine, the new design found itself popular with the Russian Army and Marines and quickly phased out its predecessors. It was commonly seen in Russian ACMF squadrons. 

The AKR-7 was made to be the modern and fresh new DMR for the Russian military and proved itself to be a worthy firearm in the hands of competent marksmen. Its unique and lightweight frame design, accompanied by a high powered scope that could be swapped out with numerous other sights, meant that this marksman rifle could prove to be a deadly force even against high opposition. It only features a semi-automatic mode while also being loaded with 20 round mags 

The Suppressed AKR was made with an integrated suppressor that couldn’t be removed and was mostly seen in the hands of special forces operatives before the war. However the weapon is rare due to how few were actually deployed. The way the rifle was constructed made them a lot more compact, feeding off the same mags as the regular AKR-7.

The last update to the SV-98 sniper rifle. It sports a folding stock and an integrated bipod. With an effective firing range of 1000 meters, the rifle is the main sniper rifle for the Russian armed forces. It is compatible with a suppressor but is far more commonly seen with its original muzzle brake.      

This semi-automatic railgun was produced by Russia based off of captured American designs at site OKB-04. Many of them were sold off to various ACMF aligned nations but due to its expensive operation and rarity these railguns are exceptionally hard to find post flash. 

Made to fit the latest design criteria by the Kalashnikov Concern, the Dragovitch entered production in 2021 and was made to replace the older Makarov pistols. The pistol was relatively cheap to produce and was a common sight being used by other ACMF member nations. 

Fitted with a laser module and a select-fire mode, the PKLT was a late addition to the Russian arsenal during WW3. Primarily meant for crew for self defense and downed pilots. The 15 rounds magazine and automatic fire capability of this pistol make it a dangerous force in the right hands. Many claim this pistol is responsible for saving their lives after the EMPs went off during the invasion of the states. 

A pistol that sees influence from western counterparts, the MP-433 Grach is a reliable sidearm that mainly consists of metal with the grip being made out of polymer. With a 18 round magazine it is a popular sidearm for the Russian armed forces. 

A weapon in use since the 1950s, this pistol has served the Russian Federation and several other countries all the way up until the third world war. The weapon is often given to officers out of a traditional standpoint, the pistol however was simply replaced as a standard sidearm by more modern weapons. 

The MP412-REX was a rare firearm, seen today as a hard hitting revolver, it features a break action mechanism not seen often in modern conflict. However it packs a punch and, with its compact nature, makes a good firearm for those who need something that can fire quickly and with a bit of stopping power.
