It seems to have very peculiar iron sights, being rather large and raised. The FAD has an extremely high rate of fire, at 1000 RPM, but also has the lowest damage of any assault rifle and a very slow reload. However, the magazine enters the weapon fairly early in the reload animation at 1.5 seconds, making reload cancelling very beneficial to the FAD. It must also be noted that the FAD magazine has 40 rounds compared to the standard 30.

Interestingly, the FAD has the highest headshot multiplier of any weapon in the game at 1.7x making it a 2 hit kill to the head at close range. Additionally, aiming down the sights with the FAD is slightly faster than with the other assault rifles at 0.25 seconds, compared to 0.3 seconds for all other assault rifles.<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmWEaU8N7NeddEprUWFkQi1ZWFU0eGItNGwzZG1oSXc#gid=0</ref>

It is note though that the magazine enters the weapon fairly early in the reload animation at 1.5 seconds, making reload cancelling very beneficial to the FAD. It is also important to say that the FAD magazine has 40 rounds compared to the standard 30.

Interestingly, the FAD has the highest headshot multiplier of any weapon in the game at 1.7x making it a 2 hit kill to the head at close range.
