How do these attachments affect the AKM?

The Bastion Horizontal Compensator is crucial for reducing horizontal recoil, which is significantly harder to control compared to vertical recoil. The latter can be managed by dragging your mouse downward, but the compensator makes horizontal stability much more manageable.

The AKM Beaver Long Barrel Combo increases the weapon's range and muzzle velocity, which are essential for improving performance in longer engagements. Additionally, it enhances gun control and stability, making longer fights easier to handle.

The X25U Angled Combat Grip improves both vertical and horizontal recoil while also boosting accuracy, ensuring better shot connection.

The AK Heavy Tower Grip has no drawbacks and slightly enhances key stats like control, handling, stability, and accuracy. Pair this with the Stable Grip Base to further improve the gun's stability and control.

The AK Folding Stock is ideal for compensating for the handling trade-offs introduced by other attachments. Similarly, the AK Stock Recoil Pad provides slight improvements to the gun's control, handling, and stability.

For the magazine, we recommend the AKM 30-Round Polymer Mag. This is to maintain better handling and stability, as larger magazines negatively impact these stats. However, if you're confident and willing to compromise on handling, you can opt for the 40-round magazine. Adding the Badger Small Mag Assist (Black) further improves handling.

The Panoramic Red Dot Sight is a fan-favorite optic due to its clean sight picture, though you can change this based on personal preference.

The PEQ-2 Red Laser-Light Combo increases ADS and hip-fire speeds and can be equipped anywhere as per your needs.

Finally, the DD Python Handguard enhances handling, making the gun more controllable and faster to operate.
