WeaponSlotClassRecoil behaviour
9x19VSNPrimarySMGQuick cadence with a shallow vertical climb; movement opens the spread more than recoil does.
SASG-12PrimaryShotgunPellet spread, not a recoil pattern. Compensation does nothing useful; distance is the only variable that matters.
PMMSecondaryPistolSemi-automatic with a fast reset. A light vertical correction is all this needs.
GSH-18SecondaryPistolSemi-automatic with a fast reset. A light vertical correction is all this needs.

Which primary to take

The 9x19VSN keeps Kapkan fast in the angles this operator actually holds. SMG recoil is shallow, so most of your accuracy comes from tracking rather than pattern correction.

On the sidearm: PMM (pistol), GSH-18 (pistol). Sidearm profiles are cheap to set and rarely need revisiting.

Attachment slots follow the weapon

Siege does not give every gun the same slots, and the script has to know which curve it is playing against:

Season churn

Siege reworks weapon balance and operator loadouts every season, and a pattern measured last season is not necessarily the pattern you are shooting now. Rosters and tables stay in sync with each season, including new operators and reworked loadouts, so your client picks up the change without you re-tuning by hand.
