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.
Beta 1 compatibility
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.
