Fedorov Avtomat
The Fedorov Avtomat (Russian: Автомат Фёдорова) was an automatic rifle, designed by Vladimir Grigoryevich Fyodorov (surname anglicized as Fedorov) in 1915 and produced in the Russian Empire and later in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.
Considered to be a "lighter than light machine gun" by Fyodorov, it was designated as "Avtomat" (Russian for "automaton") by his superior, a term that in the modern day denotes an assault rifle. It originally fired a 6.5mm cartridge also designed by Fyodorov. This was changed to the abundant 6.5×50mmSR Arisaka cartridge, purchased from Japan. The fixed magazine was replaced by a curved 25-round detachable box magazine, that was fed through the breech via 5-round stripper clips.
After World War I and the Russian Civil War in 1922, Fyodorov and another Russian weapon designer Vasily Degtyaryov both co-contributed three new designs to the Fedorov Avtomat, one of which consisted of adding a Lewis Gun style barrel-jacket radiator and an attached bipod.[1]

— In-game description
The Fedorov Avtomat is a weapon introduced in the Battlefield 1: In the Name of the Tsar expansion for the Medic kit.
The Fedorov Avtomat is one of the three automatic rifles for the Medic kit. While doing the lowest max damage at close range, it features the highest rate of fire for the medic rifles to balance it out, making missing shots more forgiving. It has an average time to kill overall in exchange for its flexibility of use, comparing poorly to other SLRs at longer ranges and most SMGs at close range.
Compared to other medic rifles, the Fedorov is best suited for close to medium range engagements. Its bullet velocity is the lowest tied with the M1907 SL at 570 m/s with its minimum damage after 40 meters being up to six shots at a full health enemy combined with spread after such shots will result in rather poor accuracy. If shots at longer ranges are needed, it is recommended to use short, controlled bursts or to fire single rounds. Its recoil is relatively light compared to other rifles.
There are two variants of the Fedorov Avtomat: Trench and Optical. The Trench variant offers better hipfire spread, making it more reactive for close range combat. The Optical variant has a built-in scope that is arguably clearer than the iron sights. It also offers better accuracy in the form of less ADS spread, making it better for medium to long range.
