Here's how the aforementioned attachments will affect the weapon:

KAS-1 254mm gives a boost to the damage range as well as the bullet velocity. This makes the SMG stronger at ranged combat. It also helps with the hip fire accuracy, which will allow you to mow down enemies in close-quarter scenarios.

Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider essentially hides the flash generated from your weapon when shooting. Moreover, it helps steady the recoil of the gun, which can be erratic at times.

True Tac Grip gives a boost to the Vaznev 9K's aim-down sight speed and sprint-to-fire speed, making it suitable for fast-paced and aggressive gunplay, especially when rushing a location.
