VK-47 Flatline Review

Another gun from Assault Rifle category offered in Apex Legends is VK-47 Flatline. It is a full-auto (with a punch) gun that comes with heavy rounds. Although it may look a bit left behind because of the R-301, it is still a worthy weapon. According to stats, the VK-47 is something you may call a basic AR. It has a diagonal upper left recoil and two firing modes – single and auto. The draw time of this gun is 0.60 seconds. Its projectile speed is 26 000. Its rate of fire is 600 RPM, which is slightly lower than R-301’s. What makes it a good choice are its decent damage statistics, quite simple to control spray pattern, a high clip size, and a range of attachments that can apply to it.
