In this episode: the Vepr - a Ukrainian adaptation of the AK-74 design into a compact bullpup configuration.
Its name translates as 'wild boar'.
The Vepr's Per-shot damage is low, although like all other SMGs you will kill in three shots to the body up close - or two headshots.
Effective range is about average for the SMG class, and the Vepr's minimum damage is quite good, meaning you'll never need more than 5 shots to kill at any distance.
Rate of fire is average for the class, at 869 rounds per minute: and while other SMGs might outperform you in this regard, you'll barely break a sweat when facing off against assault rifles at a close range.
Hipfire performance is good too, with spread identical to all other SMGs.
Recoil is quite mild, with the Vepr proving very controllable under automatic fire - enough to compete with some assault rifles at a middle range.
This hybrid performance is reflected in the Vepr's handing, unfortunately - as aim time is a little slower than average, at 250 milliseconds: exactly halfway between an SMG and assault rifle.
Mobility is uncompromised, however - as you'll move at 100 percent of the base speed.
Magazine capacity is the highest in class, at 42 rounds - with extended mags taking this to an even loftier 63.
The Vepr is an easy to handle SMG that has a blend of high output with generous magazine capacity.
No other SMG can match its default magazine capacity of 42 rounds, and this means you can more liberally dispense your supply and still retain enough for multiple opponents per reload.
The low recoil is a boon, too - while damage is relatively low it remains simple to direct fire even onto targets outside typical SMG ranges.
However, like all SMGs you will struggle to directly compete against other weapons at a mid to long range - and in many cases you might be better off avoiding conflict until circumstances fall in your favour.
Take the path less travelled and seek to strike from the side or rear of your opposition.
The Vepr is a little slower to react than some other SMGs, too - with its slower aim time and otherwise average handling, your reactive fire ability might not always be up to snuff.
Still, the weapon is easy to handle - and as a result certainly more versatile than most alternatives in its class.
