KR82

"High damage mid range assault rifle"

The KR82, sometimes referred to as the "full size KR82" to differentiate it from the smaller stockless version (see KR82U) or sometimes noted as an "AK" due to its similarity to the russian style weapon, is the main power house of the Defenders who have access to this weapon. The weapon's main traits are the large thirty round magazine and high damage per bullet, along with having low overall recoil due to the full size and inclusion of a stock. The top of the gun features a small circular rear iron sight and front post to use to sight in on long range targets.

Strategy
Successful use of the KR82 is down to balancing the fire rate for whatever distance you are using it at. Short bursts are preferred for longer ranges while the gun is easily capable of accurate full auto at closer ranges. Because the KR82's initial burst is low recoil, its preferred use is to aim near upper chest or neck level depending on distance and allow the recoil to push itself up into a final headshot for a kill.

Trivia

 * The gun has a heavy resemblance to a modern AK74, sharing naming conventions, stock designs, mag styles, caliber and more.
 * The gun's twin brother, the KR82U is a virtually identical gun, except it has an empty rear rail and front post instead of iron sights, as well as missing a stock, along with some other aesthetic variations. However, not only that but the AK74U shares nomenclature, being the shorter version of the AK74, as the KR82U is to the KR82.
 * The gun is currently unavailable in game due to balancing reasons. It may potentially be added back in the future, but it's currently unknown what will happen to the weapon.
