The New Conglomerate's AF-4A Bandit is a seemingly more close quarters oriented carbine over its standard issue predecessor the AF-19 Mercenary. It presents this by being more mobile when ADS (Aiming Down Sights, meaning your character moves around more quickly when ADS), having a higher RPM of 632 over the Mercenary's 600, whilst still retaining the New Conglomerate's hard hitting damage models. It also comes with slightly better hip-fire. But these desirable statistics come at the cost of low bullet velocity, lower accuracy and longer reloads.

Damage with Range:

167 @ 10 meters

143 @ 36 meters

125 @ 55 meters

112 @ 70 meters

Optic
HS/NV Scope (1x) 49 OR 30		Nanite Systems' HS/NV scope has no magnification, but provides high contrast outlines to nearby objects and illuminates nearby soldiers.
DMO (3.4x) 49 OR 30		Equipped with a combination chevron/crosshair reticle and 3.4x magnification capabilities, the TR's Designated Marksman Optics functions well at many ranges.
HDS (3.4x) 49 OR 30		Using a red dot reticle with 3.4x optical magnification, the TR's Holographic Dot Sight performs well in close and mid-range combat scenarios.
TMS (4x) 49 OR 30		Sharpshooters have long preferred the Terran Marksman Scope, praising its simple 4x magnified crosshair for its versatility and efficiency.
ACS (4x) 49 OR 30		The Terran Republic's Advanced Combat Scope utilizes a triple chevron reticle and 4x magnification, making it a good choice for all-around use.

Barrel
Flash Suppressor 49 OR 100		A flash suppressor makes the shooter less visible to the enemy, but increases the range at which you appear on enemy minimaps by 15 meters.
Suppressor 49 OR 100		The weapon's muzzle flash and noise generation is reduced, and the player no longer appears on the minimap when firing. In exchange, the weapon's damage falls off 20 meters sooner and bullet velocity is reduced by 15%.

Rail
Forward Grip 49 OR 100		A forward grip increases control of the weapon, reducing horizontal recoil by 25%, but increases equip time by 0.15 sec.

Ammo
Impact Ammunition 49 OR 100		Increases the weapon's minimum damage from to , while reducing magazine size by .
