Quick answer

The RAK-37 is a compact full-auto submachine gun chambered in .380 ACP. It hits harder and performs better at range than the CR-61 Skorpion, but it has high recoil and no attachment support. Because it is permanently full-auto and cannot be single-loaded, the RAK-37 depends heavily on finding magazines before it becomes useful.

In-game description
