It’s a handy assault rifle, 30 rounds, and it comes in several variants. This Mikhail Kalashnikov’s design, based off the Sturmgewehr 1943/44, although the animation has Artyom reloading the weapon like it was an AK-74. Note that the reloading animation takes very long, so that one of its many disantvantages hence the name Bastard Gun. Although it is tempting to complete various levels with this inferior weapon, Artyom will get his hands on an AK (Kalash) after toughing it out a few levels.If you choose to upgrade this gun,get a silencer,you will only need that.You can play it with the silencer only. This is the standard automatic weapon in the game, made from home-brew parts from a Russian weapons depot, is probably the one weapon you will never use once you are used to the game in Metro 2033.
Against human opponents, the revolver can kill with one shot if the projectile strikes vulnerable areas, like the head.Revolver ammunition is not plentiful,so do not go gung ho with the revolver.The price of the revolver depends on the station that you are buying it at.For the upgrades I recommend getting the Stock + Forend mod,and possibly a suppressor if you are playing in survival,if playing on spartan,get the Extended Barrel. It’s fairly powerful if you aim at the correct spots. The revolver is Artyom’s standard sidearm in dystopic Moscow.
