The Lowest Recoil AK-101 & Midgame Builds From LL2 Traders
4,629Today we look at the AK-101, which combines the best of 5.56 on ammo and suppressors with the cheap and flexible modding of the AK platform! Starting off we’ll be checking out the new lowest recoil build which comes to 37 (without using the night scope), and has really good ergonomics for a low recoil weapon.
Next up we’ll look at both a straight LL2 traders version and an optimised one using the flea, as well as LL3 traders too. One of the best things about the 101 is you can take it suppressed or unsuppressed and not feel like you are missing out on recoil control, which is usually the way with weapons like the M4.
