Mod by wololooo — more Soviet rifles coming soon.
Centuries later, long after Earth fell to flame, famine, and silence, fragments of the AS-44’s design were recovered in the memory core of a crashed colonial freighter drifting near a neutron star. Schematics, corrupted but salvageable, were pieced together by a weaponsmith with more will than sense. What emerged was a recreation of the AS-44 — heavy, brutal, and beautiful in its raw, unfinished power.
Now reborn in the hands of desperate Rimworld settlers and scavengers, the AS-44 offers what it always promised: reliable automatic fire, solid mid-range performance, and the spirit of a weapon meant to shape a better future — even if that future never came.
It is clunky. It is rare. It is not perfect. But it works.
A prototype reborn. A future that never was — finally given a second chance among the stars.
