AV-99 Battle Rifle

Avtomaticheskaya Vintovka means automatic rifle in Russian. Used heavily by the Russian Union, it is an easily modifiable rifle, making it the staple of the Russian war machine. It is a very simple weapon to produce, and its internal workings and tight rifling help cause the rifle's high stopping power and semi-auto accuracy, but in full auto its difficult to control the recoil. It has a high rate of fire at 1000 rpm. It is frequently seen across the Contested Fields and on the Vistula Fortress Line. The AV's unique front sight also acts as the sights for a grenade launcher, mostly the GP-50. Introduced in 2014 to replace the Kalashnikov series of rifles, the AV-97 has seen widespread use thoughout the world. Designed by Colonel-General Vladislav Maximovich Yashin since 1997, the Russian military was quickly impressed by the weapon. In 2015, they used units armed with these new rifles to stage a coup, replacing the Russian Federation with the militant Russian Union. With the USA collapsing along with NATO, the Russian Union used this weakness to invade Europe. Used almost extensively by the elite Streltsy Guards, the AV-99 is chambered for the 7.62x54mmR. It is also used by snipers. The AV-99 uses a special 20 round mag.
