The AN-94 is favored by most players due to its controllable fire rate, high accuracy and high power, as well as more ammo capacity and larger magazine. The AN-94 is an assault rifle unlocked for the Insurgents factions after the Skorpion with 150 kills. It is probably the most common weapon alongside the AK-74. It is capable of taking out an enemy in one or two shots to the torso or higher, unless it is a headshot, which would result in a one-hit-kill. It has very high accuracy and high power as well as the highest ammo capacity and reserved ammo of all assault rifles, though the sights are a bit obstructive. It is available to pick up frequently in the USMC missions and the first and third SAS ones.
The AN-94 is featured as a common weapon throughout the entire game.
