KCAP Ammunition is an ammo type.
While loaded, KCAP ammunition increases the leg damage multiplier of the weapon from 0.9x to 1.2x, flipping it from a 10% damage reduction to a 20% damage increase. In exchange, the headshot damage multiplier of the weapon is reduced from 2x to 1.5x. Head shots are still preferable, but leg shots are less punishing.
In practice, this effect tends to reduce the shots required to kill the target by one when all shots strike the leg as opposed to the body, allowing quicker kills by hitting a far easier body part than the head—although waist-level may make using this advantage difficult.

- "KCAP" is short for "kneecap," referencing the attachment's increase to damage dealt on leg shots.
