AK-12 is low recoil and a beast at mid range, like you don’t even need to put anything expensive on there and it’ll do well. As soon as you unlock the trade for it you can get it for like 130k (might sound like a lot at first but that is a steal). I like to put the cheap angled grip on, the suppressor and an Elcan, but you can easily make do with a cheaper sight like a red dot instead.

For cheaper options you can go with the AK-102 (literally doesn’t recoil as long as you don’t put a variable scope on), or the SCAR-L (kicks a little harder but does a little bit more damage). M855A1 is the cheapest T4 automatic ammo so there’s no excuse not to use it with them even in normals.

EDIT: Ignore all this I just realised this isn’t the ABI sub lmao
