This time, we're covering the KAP-40.

The last of the pistols, this futuristic handgun is unlocked at level 43 and is the only fully-automatic secondary on offer.

The KAP-40, or Kriss Automatic Pistol, is an American weapon, manufactured by Kriss USA.

It currently only exists as a prototype weapon, as the semi-automatic KRISS KARD - and it uses the same recoil-mitigating action as used in the Vector SMG.

The Vector and KARD are normally chambered in the powerful .45 ACP round, although there have been some models produced in other calibres - and, given the KAP-40's designation, it's likely that the version depicted in game fires the .40 Smith & Wesson round.

The unique Super V system permits accurate automatic firing of powerful rounds in a relatively compact package, with minimal muzzle rise.

While the platform is relatively new, it does show some promise - and so perhaps by 2025 such designs might see widespread use.

In-game, damage is moderate: the KAP-40 will kill in 3 shots at a close range.

This damage quickly drops off to a 6 shot kill at the extent of the KAP-40's reach.

There is no headshot multiplier, so body shots are as valuable at any range - and as with all the pistols, penetration ability is low.

Rate of fire is an impressive 940 rounds per minute, faster than any other sidearm and comparable to most SMGs.

Paired with good hipfire performance, the KAP-40 is a very reliable and consistent weapon in close quarters combat.

Recoil is moderate but very controllable, with the vertical rise in your shots not a major factor within the KAP-40's effective range.

Aim time is marginally quicker than the other pistols, too - at 100 milliseconds, 25 milliseconds faster than most of its peers.

Other handling traits are good too, with rapid switch times and 100 percent mobility.

The KAP-40's major downfall is in its limited magazine capacity: while 15 rounds places it in the midst of its class, the elevated rate of fire means these shots are consumed very quickly.

If you're careless it's entirely possible to expend all 15 rounds before you're able to kill a single opponent: and while reloads are swift, at 1.5 seconds, you can be left very vulnerable during this downtime.

The KAP-40 is a powerful backup weapon, combining rapid handling with reliable lethality.

With tremendous output it's possible to quickly eliminate close-range assailants, making the KAP-40 a worthy companion to any slower-firing weapon.

In many respects it's as effective as a primary SMG, with a combination of a three-hit kill and an enviable fire rate.

The weapon does fall short in the capacity stakes, however - with a mere 15 rounds by default, it's all to easy to find yourself dry mid-firefight.

This isn't a weapon you can simply spray with - it requires a touch of precision to accurately direct your shots.

The short effective range will exacerbate this issue at anything outside of a close-range, too - landing 6 rounds out of 15 is a tricky task, and it is here where a typical SMG will outperform the KAP-40.

Still, the KAP-40 is in the secondary tier for a reason, and as long as you stick to close-range engagements only, it performs admirably.

So, should your opposition be all up in your grill: bust out this gat...

...and pop a KAP in their behind.
