AK-12

The Avtomat Kalashnikova model 2012 (Kalashnikov Automatic rifle, model 2012) is an assault rifle that appears in Survarium.

Background
First shown at a press event in 2012, the AK-12 is the latest development of the Izhmash plant, intended to replace older Kalashnikov rifles (like the AK-74M) for domestic use and export. Despite the Russian Army stating they wouldn't introduce a new rifle at the time, trials began towards the end of the year and in late-2014 it was announced that it would be accepted into service along with the A-545.

Overview
The AK-12 is one of the top-tier weapons available, purchasable with the highest rank in the Renaissance Army, "Colonel". Its strongest feature is that it has a very high armor penetration value, comparable to some battle and sniper rifles. In addition, it also possesses great damage and otherwise fair stats. This makes it easily one of the strongest weapons in the game, with no significant downsides.

AK-12M1
The AK-12M1 is a unique variant only available by purchasing it from the shop for 5,000. It differs from the AK-12 in that it has a lower rank (14), lower damage (50) and greater weight (3.5kg). Interestingly, it also uses the cheaper 7.62x39 ammo types. Consequently, it can achieve a higher armor penetration value through the use of the 7N23 variant.

As with all premium weapons, it features bonus stats in the form of silver received,  reload speed and  reliability. It features a woodland spot-style camouflage which covers the entire gun except for the barrel and trigger.
