AS-VAL

The AS-VAL is a rifle acquired from Airdrops, being a rare item in it's own right

Overview The AS Val (Russian: Aвтомат Специальный Вал or Avtomat Special'nyj Val, English: Automatic Special Shaft) is an integrally suppressed assault rifle designed by TsNIITochMash in the late 1980s as a specialized weapon for Russian special forces. Given the operations that Russian special forces carried out, a more powerful, suppressed and shorter ranged weapon was required.

The AS-VAL is based on the Kalashnikov design and does retain some similar controls as AK rifles, such as having the charging handle located on the right-hand side and the ability to use the AK (and to an extent, the SVU's) universal side mount for various optical attachments. It is fitted with an integral suppressor and is chambered in the 9×39mm subsonic ammunition. compared to the AKM's 7.62x39mm and the AK-74's 5.45x39mm ammunition.

Designed as a short-range, close-quarters-combat (CQC) focused assault rifle, the AS VAL is made to be small and more compact by incorporating a folding stock.

The AS VAL is currently used by the special forces and reconnaissance divisions of the Russian Army, as well as the MVD and FSB special forces in limited numbers.

In-game
The AS-VAL is an air-drop exclusive assault rifle featuring an incredibly high rate of fire which far outstrips its cousins, the AKM, the AK-103 and the Aks74u.

Dying will remove the AS-VAL from the player's inventory meaning that players will need to call another airdrop to acquire another AS-VAL. Strategies The AS-VAL sports the ability to 2 shot kill to the head to most enemies and a 4 shot kill elsewhere, compared to the hard hitting AKM and the AK-103, the AS-VAL is more akin to American ARs, sacrificing damage for lower recoil and higher RPM.

Another interesting quirk with the AS-VAL is it's low spread, making it good for long range spray downs.

When used, the AS-VAL is basically designed for shredding through common enemies and as for high health enemies and bosses, the AS-VAL is more or less designed to accurately hose down bulkier enemies, shredding through their health with headshots.

Due to the AS-VAl's high RPM, it can eat through it's ammo supply without much issue if one is not careful, luckily rifle ammo is common, meaning that running dry is not much of an issue. Known Bugs
