UPM61

"Following the success of the Plechovka, URGA developed a semi-auto rifle for accuracy and power in mid-range firefights. The result is the UPM61."

The UPM61 is an assault rifle in Just Cause 3.

Appearance
It has a bullpup design, meaning that the magazine goes near the rear of the weapon, behind the trigger. This design allows a weapon to be slightly shorter without jeopardizing effective barrel length, but reloading is less convenient. The carrying handle looks similar to that of a FAMAS F1 and the pistol grip/trigger assembly and receiver/stock resemble that of the OTs-14 Groza. This weapon also has a notable resemblance to the EM-2 and EM-1 rifles, as well as the Type 86S and the SVU Dragunov.

Performance
This weapon is strangely classified as an assault rifle, but it can only fire a single round at a time. As a tap fire weapon, recoil is low and bullet spread is minimal across most distances, making it a highly accurate rifle. However, the weapon's lack of a full auto fire mode makes it suffer in close quarters combat. It is possible to increase fire rate by continuously tapping and releasing the fire button with minimally short intervals between each shot, but this will result in noticeable muzzle climb and significantly poorer accuracy. This should only be done in close quarter combat situations where other close range weapons such as the CS Wraith 225R are not available. Damage for this weapon is relatively high as this weapon can down a Medici Military grunt with two hits to the torso. This weapon is best used as a medium to long range designated marksman rifle, engaging enemies at moderate ranges, to take advantage of the superior damage and accuracy. That being said, this weapon is no substitute for an actual sniper rifle as it lacks the firepower, accuracy, and magnified optics of a dedicated sniper rifle.
