a7
A7 is an automatic ranged weapon with distance-based damage and an overheating effect. Firing long enough adds fire to its bullets and produces a nearby curse aura. Its magazine still needs reloading; overheating is an extra combat state, rather than an unlimited-ammunition replacement.
How it works
The current functionality describes a short equip delay, a thirty-round magazine and a three-second reload. Hitscan shots follow the aiming point with spread, and the damage falls between the close and distant ends of the range curve. The live article’s statistics and functionality give seven to fourteen damage, but its short item-description field still says fourteen to ten. That disagreement is shown as a source conflict instead of silently mixing the old minimum into the current range.
After a combined period of firing, the barrel turns orange and the shots apply a brief fire effect. While firing in this state, nearby enemies can also receive curse from the aura. The barrel cools when the user stops shooting. A distant bullet hit and the close-range aura therefore do different jobs; being able to hit an opponent does not automatically place them inside the curse radius.
The weapon references the compact A7 from SCP: Secret Laboratory. The May 2026 change increased its damage-falloff distance and reduced the minimum damage, while event-era a77 behavior belongs to a reverted patch. The ordinary magazine and fire rate below follow the live functionality rather than that temporary variant. At long distance, spread and reduced per-bullet damage remain relevant even when burning bullets can land.
