Overview[]
- This section is a stub. You can help Armed Assault Wiki by expanding it.
The M712 is a selective fire, recoil-operated, locked breech semi-automatic pistol. It is chambered to fire the 7.62×25 mm cartridge.
It can only feed from 20-round box magazines. It can attain a fire rate of either ~ 461 rounds per minute on semi-auto[CfgWp 8][Formula 1] or up to ~ 899 RPM on full auto[CfgWp 9][Formula 2], and has a muzzle velocity of 280 m/s.[CfgWp 10]
It is not possible to attach a sound suppressor onto the M712's muzzle. The M712 does not support optical sights and cannot be dual-wielded alongside a flashlight/torch.
Ironsights[]

The M712's ironsights are set to a fixed zeroing of 50 metres.[CfgWp 11] It is not possible to manually adjust its settings.

Notes[]
- ↑ This muzzle velocity only applies to the magazine itself. The M712's weapon class has its own initSpeed value defined (280 m/s) that always takes precedence over the magazine's initSpeed value.
- ↑ This is the M712's actual muzzle velocity. The weapon class initSpeed value (280 m/s) takes precedence over the magazine initSpeed value (425 m/s).
- ↑ Damage will be reduced if the projectile's velocity drops below this value.
- ↑ This is the actual penetration depth of the M712's 7.62 mm ammunition. The weapon class initSpeed value (280 m/s) takes precedence over the magazine initSpeed value (425 m/s), affecting its penetration formula as a result.
