Like the SMG, it is a modified H&K MP7. Unlike the SMG, the AY69 is closer to the original MP7. Its ammo is not compatible with the SMG, even though they are based on the same weapon.
[edit] Tactics
The AY69 is a much better sidearm than the Pistol. While it is ineffective past short range, the AY69's very high rate of fire can take out a regular enemy trooper very quickly.
Dual AY69s are extremely powerful. Pressing down both the left and right mouse buttons will make both weapons fire at once. The combined fire of two AY69s will completely annihilate any enemy that is in close range. However, the extreme recoil will make it impossible to hit a target past short range. If you need to aim at a target that is at medium range, you should either fire one AY69 or switch to another, more accurate weapon, such as the SCAR or FY71.
It is worth to be attached with silencer, specially dual-wielded, because AY69 tends to be used at close range, and most of damage can still be caused without making other enemies on a distance alerted.
No matter how many AY69s you are holding, the weapon will eat up ammo quickly, so make sure to reload often. Thankfully, dual-wielded AY69s can be reloaded just as fast as a single one.
From all its advantages, it is suggested to be used instead of SMG, additionally, it has more ammunition, causes the same amount of damage and can be dual-wielded, which reduce the effectiveness of SMG to some extend.
You can also use semi-automatic firemode as a substitute for the pistol.
[edit] Advantages
Its rate of fire is high, its damage is decent, its magazine is large, it can be dual-wielded, and its ammunition is highly available, making the AY69 one of the most powerful close combat weapons in this game. It can be attached with silencer, which allows elimination of an enemy infantry without alerting the others.
[edit] Disadvantages
AY69 spends its ammunition up quickly, although its ammunition is highly available. It cannot be used effectively beyond medium range without aiming or switching firemode and its damage is inferior to Pistol, making it less suitable pass short range combat.
