## Trivia

* Did you know, that the **AK12S** was supposed to be a weapon in Free Reign previous games? First builds of the **AK12** were found in the **ROTB Stress Test** (A server that was released as a test before Romero's Aftermath was teased). Later, the same weapon files were found in the Romero's Aftermath files, which shows that the **AK12** was supposed to be used much quicker than it was used now.
* Did you know, that the **AK12S** is based on the real life Izhmash AK-12.
* Did you know, that the **AK12S** is one of the two guns in the game that is able to use a Drum Magazine (The second being the **MS4**).
