The AN-94 has been a favorite gun of mine ever since I played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I wasn't planning to buy the latest CoD until I saw that in the weapon list. And I haven't bought it yet, so I have a couple questions: I've seen conflicting reports on the long-range damage of the AN-94 denkirson.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=5208&page=1denkirson.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=5265Does the AN-94 kill in 4 shots or 5? And to clear up the discrepancy, if you tested this yourself how did you do it? Edit: Looking around I see a claim that Select Fire reduces the damage of the SG-556. Could the same thing be happening here? If it takes 5, isn't it inferior to the SCAR in every way but the second bullet, or am I missing something? How much recoil is there between the first and second bullets? In theory it should be zero, but I doubt Treyarch was that generous. More generally, it might be early to ask this but if any of you have managed to unlock the AN-94 in multiplayer already, what are your impressions? Thanks!

Just tested, 5 :[
And there is considerable recoil between shot 1 and 2. Not sure how you got the idea there would be none.

The real life AN94 fires its first two rounds at 1800 RPM before lowering the fire rate to something far more manageable (which is where the 900-600 RPM gimmick comes from). The first two rounds apparently come out so fast that the shooter is unable to feel the recoil from the first round before the second round is fired.
Eh, tiesieman beat me.
The G11 also used the same principle, albeit significantly earlier, to fire 2000 RPM bursts with non-existent recoil inside of the burst.

Well shit, it's not looking good for the AN-94. And yes, I got the idea there should be no recoil because that's how the gun works. I wasn't actually expecting that to be implemented, but I hoped for significantly lower recoil compared to later shots.

It has extreme range compared to all other automatic rifles save the SCAR, compare to which it commands a fire rate advantage when burst fired.
If you use a macro to skip the third bullet, you could sustain about 730 RPM, I think. At ranges where other rifles have become 4 or 5 hit kills, you'll probably want to burst anyway.

Well, from my feelings, it fires about 1200 RPM when using "select fire" attachment and firing burst. Aslo, the second bullet in burst seems VERY accurate. So: -one of the best weapon for HardCore - 2 bullets = guarantee kill -pretty accurate burst-fire rifle, which can be used in auto mode on close ranges ...but i prefer SCAR-H =)

Hmm,I only did a few mags on a wall, but select fire [burst] AN94 was pretty inaccurate.

OP, everything in create a class is automatically unlocked in League Play, so you can try the weapon out there while playing online games.

With a Grip, the AN-94 feels like the most effective AR to me, outside of the very godly FAL. It has a good RoF because of the second bullet, a very solid 3SK range, great iron sights IMO, and its recoil seems to be lower than all other automatic ARs; the Type 25 is close, but it slings far more bullets which makes it kick a little heavier. I bet as time goes on and people start unlocking it, the AN-94 will become one of the most used ARs.

What is so special about the an94's first 2 shots?

The second shot comes out at 900 RPM. All subsequent shots are at 600 RPM.

moses, you're honestly crazy. The AN-94's recoil is the worst in the game even when compared to smgs. This gun is easily one of the worst guns overall.

I reached level 55 yesterday. I was so happy to finally get Ghost. But I also got the AN-94. After playing with it for quite a few games, I prestiged and chose to unlock it instead of the Ghost perk. I have no idea why, but I get on so well with this weapon.

My little brother hit the same dilemma at level 55. He had planned on unlocking ghost but fell in love with the an94, pretty sure he took ghost and will be taking the an94 next prestige.
