9A-91

The 9A-91 Avtomat is a Russian made carbine currently in use with Russian police forces. It is a very advanced carbine, designed to accept 9x39mm rounds. It has an effective range of only 100 metres, but at this range the 9x39mm round is clearly superior to both the 9x19mm Parabellum, 5.45 M74 and 5.56 NATO rounds in terms of penetration and stopping power. It can fit optics via a special rail mount fitted on the left of the receiver, and can also fit a large suppressor.

Battlefield: Bad Company
In singleplayer, the 9A91 can be found on certain dead MEC enemies in the final mission, Ghost Town. It is very common amongst the MEC troops, but not as common as the AUG.

In multiplayer, it is the default compact assault rifle for the MEC Specialist kit. Like all compact assault rifles in the game, it has a 60 round magazine with 180 in reserve. The 9A91 can kill enemy infantry in around 15-20 shots. Like all Compact Assault Rifles in the game, the player cannot use its sights; aiming zooms in slightly and increases accuracy.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Only available in multiplayer, the 9A-91 Avtomat is the first SMG available to the player for the Engineer kit. It has a 20 round magazine, low recoil, a medium rate of fire, high damage and, unlike in the first Bad Company, usable iron sights. Despite having the highest damage of all the SMGs in-game, the 9A-91's small magazine and scarcity of spare ammunition can be a nuisance in battle, and several of the other SMGs outperform it at close range. However, its high accuracy and damage make it a good weapon to use at longer distances when firing in bursts or semi-automatically.

Trivia

 * In Battlefield: Bad Company, the 9A-91 has a 60 round magazine whilst having the appearance of a 20 round magazine.
 * In Battlefield: Bad Company's multiplayer, the 9A-91 has the exact same stats as the American SCAR-L and the Russian AKS-74u.
 * A recent patch corrected incorrect game damage chart in Battlefield:Bad Company 2, raising it from that of the SCAR-L to a higher damage stat.
 * The 9A-91 is, like the SCAR-L, AKS-74u and XM8 Compact, incorrectly categorized in the game as a submachine gun, despite the fact the 9A-91 utillizes the 9x39mm cartridge, the same as the VSS sniper rifle.
