AK-12 5.8 mm Variant

This mod adds seperate variants of the AK-12 rifles chambered in the chinese 5.8x42 mm cartridge. Also included are 5.8 mm versions of the AKU-12 and RPK-12. Similar to Apex' CAR-series, the rifle has been named CAR-23 and the LSW CAR-23-1. The carbine variant is named CAR-23B, following standard chinese nomenclature. This weapon is compatible with all CAR-95 magazines. The CAR-23 is more accurate than the CAR-95 but also weighs more.

Content

- CAR-23 (Assault Rifle)
- CAR-23B (Carbine)
- CAR-23 GL (Assault Rifle with Grenade Launcher)
- CAR-23-1 (Light Support Weapon)
All weapons are available in black, lush and arid color variants.

Disclaimer

All variants of the CAR-23 will have the default AK-12 icon in the Arsenal and inventory, but will have their respective skins ingame. This is because Bohemia hasn't unlocked the Contact DLC files yet for me to make custom icons but I will probably update them once the EBOs are unlocked.

Compatibility

All weapons can take any modded magazines that can be used by the CAR-95. As for attachments, some mods will work, some don't, I may add more compatiblity in the future (RHS works!)

Language

The weapons are mostly translated to every available language of Arma 3 with the only exception being the arid and lush variants which are only available in English, German, Spanish and French. I will add the other languages once BI unlocks the Contact EBOs.

Weapon Statistics

Stats are mostly the same as the 7.62 AK-12, only recoil, weight and muzzle velocity have been adjusted to reflect the 5.8 mm cartridge. Mass and muzzle velocity values:
- CAR-23: 120 Units, 930 m/s
- CAR-23B: 90 Units, 820 m/s
- CAR-23 GL: 140 Units, 930 m/s
- CAR-23-1: 145 Units, 970 m/s
