The Kal-7 Bullpup is a primary weapon introduced in the XCOM 2 expansion, War of the Chosen. It is the signature conventional weapon of the Skirmishers. Shooting using a Bullpup rifle only costs a single action and does not end the Skirmisher's turn. This allows the Skirmisher to shoot and move in any order, or shoot twice in a single turn.
Overview[]
The Skirmishers make for dangerous melee combatants, but they still rely on a unique Bullpup rifle design adapted from the weapons they were originally assigned during their service to ADVENT. At close range, these weapons provide excellent stopping power, while the stock improves recovery time during extended firing.
- Firing the Bullpup does not end the Skirmisher's turn, and it can be fired twice in a single turn.
- Bullpups are extremely effective at close range, but their accuracy drops off quickly at longer range.
- Use upgrades looted from enemies to improve the Bullpup's tactical effectiveness.
Trivia[]
- According to an XCOM post on the official site, the Kal-7 is a "possible ADVENT prototype" with a maximum sustained fire rate of 900 rounds per minute, a range of 250m, and a muzzle velocity approaching 750 m/s (2460 ft/s).
- The Kal-7 bears a resemblance to the Tavor, a series of Israeli bullpup assault rifles.
