Combat Assault Rifle vs. Combat SMG

A new vote is set to take place to decide which weapon gets added to the island: the Combat Assault Rifle or the Combat SMG. As before, players can donate Gold Bars at Donation Boards to reach 100% funding first. The "Combat" class is what's new here. Featuring tight bullet spread and some impressive power, both the Combat Assault Rifle and Combat SMG have a strong recoil that players will need to learn to harness.
