K1A

test

"This gas-operated, fully-automatic carbine is lightweight, yet provides superior firepower compared to other SMGs in its class."

- The Arsenal

The Daewoo K1A is a Sub Machine Gun available to Recruits and above. It is a member of the K-Family. Even though it resembles the K2, it is a completely different weapon with a different method of operation, it was also developed before the K2.

Overview
The K1A has good power, accuracy, and portability, but has an average fire rate (compared to other SMGs) and fairly low recoil.

It is available at an early rank, and as such, is a good choice for new players who can control it.

Customization
The K1A accepts all current attachments.

Trivia

 * This weapon was one of the most popular SMGs in the game because of its high power and high portability. However, after the release of the UMP, the K1A's popularity took a turn for the worse.
 * The K1A is considered a hybrid of an Assault Rifle and a SMG because of its decent accuracy and power rating.
 * After the major change in Rank Restrictions of the weapons, the K1A had its low popularity raised by a little, whereby low-ranking players could find some use of the most accurate Shop-bought SMG.
 * This gun has the same firing sound as the PP-19 when you attach a suppressor. They also have the same stats except for the PP-19 having more recoil and more portability.
 * In Real life the K1A fires the 5.56x45NATO(same as almost every assault rifle) so technically it is an assault rifle. Though it was developed to replace the M3A1, a submachine gun.
 * The K1A is not just a shortened variant of the K2. It uses direct impingement gas operation as opposed to the short stroke gas piston of the K2, and was developed before the K2.  Strangely, Combat Arms has several South Korean weapons, produced by Daewoo, and all of them are part of the K-Family. There aren't any Sniper Rifles or Shotguns, but there is 1 AR, 2 SMGs (although the K1A is practically an assault rifle), 1 MG and 1 Pistol. This may be because the publisher of Combat Arms is based in South Korea.
