See also: Universe of Metro 2033 (Book Series) While in Metro 2033, it has a dirtier more barbaric look with a wooden grip, in Metro: Last Light the weapon has a slightly cleaner, less ramshackle appearance and ha much wider array of attachments to increase its utility including but not limited to: an AK-74 style polymer stock, an extended barrel, heat sink (keeps weapon from overheating as often), laser sight, optical sights (red dot, two times scope, IR viewing device), and, as in Metro 2033, the silencer. The magazine port moves up and down consecutively to align each row of cartridges with the bolt. It also appears to feature the rear sight of an AKS-74U carbine. Instead of a conventional magazine the Bastard uses a clip which lacks a spring and merely holds the bullets in place while the gun's mechanism feeds the entire ammunition container through the receiver from left to right while firing. The feed system seems to be inspired from the feed strips used in the M1909 Benét-Mercié and its derivative the Type 92 machine gun. It has a design similar to the American M3 Grease Gun (especially the barrel design in Metro: Last Light'), British Sten, and the Japanese Type 100, but it mainly draws (in terms of design) from the Soviet PPD-40, PPSh-41, and perhaps most of all the PPS, a cheaper version of the PPSh-41 WWII-era submachine guns that were some of the first guns to be used in Russia's doctrine of providing its rank-and-file with automatic weapons. It should also be noted that a fully upgraded bastard (in earlier metro games) is both relatively easy to obtain and just as, if not more effective than the previously mentioned guns in most of the fighting situations the player will encounter, which is close quarters. The VSV, Kalash, and Kalash 2012 are all more accurate, generally making them more effective in a given situation, though the Bastard can do more damage per second than the VSV or Kalash with a full magazine when at close range. However, in general, other primary weapons in the game are more effective and useful. Many players make it a point of personal pride to beat the game with their only automatic weapon being the Bastard.Īs the Bastard is a primary weapon, it can use both dirty and MGR 5.45x39mm cartridges. The Bastard is the first automatic weapon Artyom will receive on his adventure and is surprisingly ubiquitous and effective in spite of the gun having considerable shortcomings. In real life, a gun like this would have problems with cycling bullets since the bullets would become dirty or moisturised from being exposed to the elements. Humorously, the name could quite conceivably have originated from the fact that it's a hybridization of 2 or 3 different guns the gun has a clear nod towards the Degtyarov PPD-34, but uses modern rounds ( 5.45mm or. The name comes from a combination of its tendency to spray on automatic, propensity for overheating, and finicky reloading system these shortcomings combine to give the weapon its name: It's a real bastard to use. Overall, the Bastard is an effective weapon at close range and should be used for counter-assaults at mid to close range, or for stealth if no better stealth weapons are available. However, it is praised for its high rate of fire, which is greater than every other weapon except for the Gatling. It has very high recoil, but can be used effectively for stealth when a more effective stealth weapon is unavailable, since a silencer seems to have little to no effect on damage. The biggest downside to using the Bastard is that it jams and overheats roughly every two mags. It has a high rate of fire and holds 30 rounds of ammunition, but fares poorly for sniping due to very poor accuracy beyond a few yards. This gun, like most, has its ups and downs. This also explains the high production rates at the Armory and why it's so widely used in the Red Line. It is considerably cheaper to make and maintain than other guns, needing relatively few parts to create, making it ideal for gunsmiths with few resources. The Bastard was one of the first Metro-made weapons.
