OOC: I've probably done several things wrong, please tell me what they are.

ooc: They look fine, but you might want to push the weight up seeing as its 6.5x39mm and so the insides are also heavier. Also you'll want to revise the rate of fire; although assault rifles have been made that are 600 rds/min (FAMAS G2) a more traditional figure is around 350. The KA-1 and KA-2 effective range should be about the same, as although the KA-1 has a longer barrel it has a higher rate of fire and lower weight, meaning more recoil. Still, on the whole their very realistic figures. I think $1200-$1500 in stores and $500-$900 in bulk to other nations would be right.

OOC: I hope that all looks okay. BTW: the FA MAs, according to my source, has a rof of 950 rds/min. The AK-47 that the KA-2 is based on weighs 4.3 kg, so with a smaller round should weigh less. I'm not very sure about the pricing, any help?

Between $1,500 and $1,100.

Between $1,500 and $1,100.
Which one?

OOC: In online stores the AK-47 in Semi-auto with High-Cap mags are $300. How is the reliability, or is it just another Kalashnikov clone?

Which one?

Thank you very much, we are sending coordinates, a flight plan, and the authorization codes for landing at Vienna Airport in New Meiji City. Once you come into our airspace CDF F-15s will accompany you to the airport.

A military cargo jet took of from a Krendian airfield, aboard was its precious cargo. The cargo was not important people nor was it gold, it was ten rifles: 5 KA-1s and 5 KA-2s. When it reached cruising altitude, it was accompanied by four MiG-21s. It finally reached Leafanistani air-space, and the MiGs pulled of, back towards Krendakov, while the Cargo Jet flew on.
