==Summary==
The AK-12 is a Russian assault rifle chambered in 5.45×39mm respectively. It is designed and manufactured by Kalashnikov Concern (formerly Izhmash). It is one of the modern derivatives of the Russian AK-Pattern series of assault rifles.
The AK-12 project began in 2011 by the IZHMASH factory which became part of the Kalashnikov Concern as a private venture, in an attempt to participate in the "Ratnik" trials which were held by the Russian Army. It was further developed by Kalashnikov Concern, and throughout its development and evaluation stage it has received multiple modifications to meet the Russian military's standard and to address the Russian Army's concerns regarding the cost and issues in fully automatic fire of the earlier prototype models. It went through several revisions in order to improve upon the "range of defects" that were discovered on the earlier prototype models derived from the AK-200. These were later abandoned in favor for the proven and improved AK-400, which was finalized as the AK-12 and AK-15.
==Powers and Stats==

Name: AK-12
Origin: The Real World
Wielders: Russia, Qatar and Armenia
Classification: Selective-fire assault rifle
Attack Potency: Street level (Firepower is within this range), higher with piercing damage
Speed: Supersonic+ (880-900 m/s)
Range: Hundreds of Meters (Effective firing range is 500–600 meters. Maximum firing range is 800 meters)
Weaknesses: Considerably more expensive to make than most other current AKs, front handguard is loosely fitted, making it not retain zero if optics are mounted on it, including the fact that it does not cover the entire barrel, making it a burn hazard and in general, hard to grip. Also much harder to field-strip in the battlefield than previous AKs due to its many modifications. Safety latch can override and hinder access to the trigger well for firing, and the telescopic scope can serve as a hazardous snag point on seat-belts.
