=== General ===
* Due to its failure of becoming the new assault rifle in 2012 despite a brief service, this rifle saw popularity among PMCs and even some terrorist organisations.
* The XKR-12 acted as a pivotal stepping stone, blending classic aesthetics with modern functionality, and paving the way for the groundbreaking design that would become the KR-12 in 2012. It serves as a testament to Kremlin's commitment to innovation, pushing the boundaries of what an assault rifle can be.
* In retrospect, the XKR-12, while providing some much-needed modernization to the classic KR-74M, failed to fully resonate with Evalkan soldiers.
* The disappointment stemmed from the fact that it was essentially the same rifle adorned with tactical furniture, lacking the innovation required to compete with the AR pattern rifles of Western nations, such as the Panamoan Republic and the Aryaine Kingdom's AL platform. Evalkan soldiers desired a truly innovative design that could hold its own on the modern battlefield.
