AKS-74U

== Overview ==
The AKS-74U is a carbine variant of the AK-74, designed to be lighter and more compact than its rifle counterpart. It bridges the gap between an assault rifle and a sub-machine gun and is intended to be used for specialized roles, such as vehicle crew and special forces.
In game, it's one of two starter weapons in Light category.
== General Performance ==
It shares similarities to the AK-74 with a few differences, mainly its muzzle rise and ammo count. Compared to the other guns in its category, it has a higher base damage and vital hit multiplier. This also shares the bullet punch and velocity of its counterpart.
However, the lack of a stock, along with its use of a more inferior 20-round magazine, means that you are forced to compensate for recoil to conserve ammunition. You can mitigate recoil by re-attaching the folding stock via the Attachments system.
== Pros & Cons ==
Pros
* High base damage for a Light Category weapon
* High vital hit multiplier
* Relatively high bullet punch for its class
* Moderate ranged performance
* It shares similarities to the AK-74 in terms of its stats
Cons
* Relatively low magazine capacity
* High muzzle rise
== Trivia ==
* While the AKS-74U is supposed to use the 30-round box magazine, or other AK/RPK based magazines, the one in-game holds 20 rounds for balancing reasons.
*It's also missing its folding stock. The folding stock can now be added back via the Attachments system.
*(Currently) The AK series are the only guns to have unique reload animations.
