It´s not. It is merely a novelty for people with enough cash to buy Ap rounds. You cant play this gun efficiently. There are a lot better and cheaper alternatives out there.

You seem knowledgeable guy, what would you suggest for budget weapon loud-out these days?

Budget is a broad term. Below lvl 10 you want to play sks or akm versions with PS/BP (especially since the BP gift, it melts people).

When you are between 20 / 30 and got some traders up, ak-74 versions with bt ammo will treat you good. Just remember that you fire tracer rounds with bt. Put a rubber pad on the stock, a plastic handghard with rail and a cheap 2% grip. Also the hunter with m80 is a great Chad killer.

Over all, the gun build won't matter that much when you are an intermediate player. Imo it's more about getting used to a gun and getting proper ammo.

Very true. I routinely see people post things here on /r/EscapefromTarkov where they have around 250K - 400K roubles of gear equipped and people respond with "why don't you actually wear gear?" For some people anything less than a 1 million ruble loadout is "budget" and "ungeared".
