When I forged this weapon I had high hopes for it, as its distant cousin, the STG-44, performed pretty good.

I was extremely disappointed overall, and regret buying a 30-day AUG for it. Since it for some reason can't accomodate a scope (which isn't 'realistic' at all, more like a pathetic attempt at balance) I was expecting the accuracy to be outstanding, but it ended up being the opposite. Even with a suppressor the accuracy was still sub-par, and I noticed it seemed to drag the firing rate down as well. The damage is high, but its pretty slow firing rate doesn't make it succeed in close-quarters in comparison to an SMG. If you do get it, be prepared to be out-classed in all ranges except for mid-range, where it's fairly decent.

Like the Nexon's other failed German WWII weapon, the Gewehr 43, this AR is 'balanced' in the wrong way. Give it a scope and it could be amazing, though. As of now I wouldn't recommend it to the few traveling down the GP path.

I also question why a burst-fire mode wasn't included, since they stuck with 'historical realism' when it came to the lack of scope.
