Stalcraft Wiki: ASh-12

"The ASh-12 is a specialized 12.7mm rifle known for its high stopping power and ability to disrupt a target's movement. It is one of the few weapons with a programmed right-side recoil bias, requiring a specific compensation technique to stay on target. The low rate of fire is balanced by the heavy weight of each hit, which can stagger opponents during a duel. It is a niche choice that favors players who can manage its unusual handling to dominate at close range."
