Compact Rifle

"Half the size, all the power, double the recoil: there's no riskier way to say "I'm compensating for something"."

- Ammu-Nation Description

The Shrewsbury Compact Rifle is, as the name suggests, a smaller version of the Assault Rifle, based on the AK74u and was added in the Lowriders: Custom Classics update.

Overview
The Compact Rifle is a small but strong assault rifle, dealing more damage than the original AK-47 in exchange for more recoil. Unlike the AK-47, the Compact Rifle cannot equip any attachments excluding the Extended Clip. It shares a similar fire rate like the AK-47 and has the same range as it as well. It also has a higher damage profile than the Carbine Rifle, Special Carbine and Bullpup Rifle, and is tied with the Advanced Rifle in terms of damage. This is also the first assault rifle in the series to have the ability to be used on a motorcycle or bicycle. Overall, the Compact Rifle is a good weapon to use in medium range combat but is not a wise choice when going in short and long range combat due to its huge recoil and low fire rate.
