Summarize your bug It seems that the AEK-971's GP30 buckshot attachment credits kills to the M416 instead of the AEK. I noticed this during a match when I got a kill using it and saw a badge on-screen saying I earned the T4 badge for the M416 (I had 100 kills with the M416 when I started using the AEK). Unfortunately I was unable to get a screenshot of this, but I later recorded a video replicating it. It might be possible that the GP-30 GL attachment also incorrectly credits kills to the M416 but I can only attest certainty to the 40mm buck. The weapon functions as intended from the standpoint of using it in-game; however the kills are being tallied incorrectly due to this bug.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use the GP-30 buckshot exclusively when using the AEK-971, get kills, see which weapon gets the tally
What happens when the bug occurs? The M416 gets kill counts whenever the GP-30 buckshot attached to the AEK-971 is used to get kills
What should be happening instead? The AEK-971 should be receiving credit for kills when its GP-30 buckshot is used to get kills, as it is with other weapons with underbarrel attachments
This is pretty easy to replicate, as you would be using the AEK's GP-30 buck as intended. Attached will be a link to a YouTube video showcasing an example of how to replicate this bug (I didn't make any cuts to it, so the video is about 4 minutes long; sorry).
