AK-12



The Kalashnikov AK-12 (formerly АК-200) is the newest derivative of the Soviet/Russian AK-47 series of assault rifles. It is undergoing testing for its proposed issue to the Russian Army to augment and eventually replace the AK-74M.

The AK-12 features semi-automatic, three-round burst (1000 RPM) and automatic (600 RPM) firing modes. The AK-12 has interchangeable barrels and can fire a variety of cartridges.

Battlefield 4
The AK-12 is an assault rifle that appears in Battlefield 4.

Singleplayer
The AK-12 is used by the RGF. It can be found in Baku and Tashgar off of Russian soldiers. It sports a PKA-S, Magnifier, Heavy Barrel, and Folding Grip as its default attachments. It sports an ERDL Woodland finish.

Multiplayer
It is the default assault rifle for all players. It is a fairly balanced weapon, having low-moderate recoil and decent fire rate. Its lower fire rate may be a hindrance in extreme CQC, as it can be easily beaten out by some of the faster firing Assault Rifles and PDWs. Its default attachments are a Kobra optic, Laser Sight, and Ergo Grip. The AK-12 unlocks Russian attachments, with US and Chinese attachments only attainable through Battlepacks.

It has a unique feature in which using the "Burst" fire mode increases the firerate considerably. This can benefit the player to fire faster at close-medium range, or to tighten shot placement over range.

Trivia

 * During the Beta, 100 kills with the AK-12 awarded the SG553 Mastery Dog Tag.


 * The AK-12 originally had 1000 RPM for burst fire during the Beta (like its real life counterpart). It was reduced to 750 RPM, probably for balancing reasons.
