"Primarily based on the larger K-2, the K1A is a hard-hitting machine gun with a moderate rate of fire."
- Weapon description

K1A is a sub-machine gun in CrossFire.

Overview[]

K1A is a South Korean submachine gun that uses .223 Remington and it is classified as a submachine gun rather than an assault rifle by the South Korean military (due to the size of the gun).

It offers below average damage and accuracy. However, this is offset by its fast reload speed and high rate of fire, being capable of expending a full clip in a matter of seconds and thus requires more frequent reloading. The K1A also produces a very loud firing noise, which allows its user to be easily identified by the enemies.

Advantages[]

  • High accuracy.
  • Moderate recoil.
  • High rate of fire.
  • Mediocre drawing speed.
  • Fast reload speed.
  • Has 4 spare magazines (some versions only).

Disadvantages[]

  • Moderate-low damage.
  • Easily runs dry of ammo.
  • Loses accuracy and damage over range.
  • Loud firing noise.

Availability[]

Available in all CF versions (except CF China).

Tips[]

  • Fire in short bursts at medium range. The K1A is best when fired in short bursts at medium range, the K1A does well in narrow spaces because it can be used to spray and pray. Bunny hopping is often employed with this bullet hose. The K1A can be compared with the Uzi since they both have a fast firing rate, but the K1A is overall superior to the Uzi.

Trivia[]

  • The K1A in CrossFire appears to be chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. This is confirmed in the weapon's texture, which says "5.56mm SMG K1A" above the magazine feed. Therefore, it should also deal with the same damage as the most common assault rifles when used.
    • However, since the K1A acts as a sub-machine gun in CrossFire, its damage deals must be under-powered for game balancing reasons.
  • Outside South Korea, K1A is described as a carbine or an assault rifle (due to its size & cartridge).
  • K1A is one of the loudest weapons in the game and with its unique sound output, it is easily recognizable.
  • During the early days in CF China, players could only get this gun in Elite Mode or using Hack tools. Finally, Tencent deleted this gun's model. Since then, this gun has never reappeared.
    • Probably due to this reason, K1A is one of the few weapons to not receive any variants despite appeared for very a long time (along with M700 and Beretta M9).
  • This gun, along with its relative K-2, has a rather unique reload animation where the bolt is pulled first and then the magazine is replaced. While aesthetically appealing, it is an incorrect way to reload the weapon in real life.
  • Specifically, both K1A & K2 have bolt catch & bolt release buttons on left side (like most AR-15 rifles). Therefore, reloading only requires operators changing magazines then hitting bolt release button to load a new round in the chambers (similar to the case of M4CQBR).
  • Despite the description, K1A was developed before K2.
  • Also, similar to MP5, this gun comes with retractable stock but it is folded in the game.
