Persistent-cash decision
$1,600 uses 16% of the stated starting balance
Team17 describes a $10,000 starting balance and persistent cash. Buying the AK74 at its recorded list price would leave $8,400 before ammunition, armour, utility or transport. That replacement risk belongs beside every damage comparison.
Evidence boundary
What these AK74 numbers do—and do not—prove
Price, ammunition, fire modes, weight, XP track, damage and RPM are compiled from dated playable-build records. BULKHEAD has not published an official weapon stat sheet, and a later build can change any of these fields.
The comparison does not measure recoil, reloads, armour, hit location, accuracy, ammunition cost, attachment effects or live pick rate. It is a versioned reference for planning and comparison, not a permanent balance verdict.
