However the sight picture is more clear and less obstructive so pilots have a better FOV when aiming down sights. HCOG: The HCOG, or Holographic Combat Optiocal Gunsight, has the same zoom maginification as the iron sights. With a simple red dot for target acquisition, you can be sure to pick out targets quickly, and get shots on them with some degree of accuracy. Iron Sights: While the iron sights are not recommended for most weapons, they are perfect adequate on the R97.

The extended magazine, suppressor, and scatterfire. The iron sights and HCOG that make up the optical options on offer. When the R-97 is paired with the HCOG, longer distance engagements are possible but not suggested. Players using the R-97 SMG should try to remain in close quarter situations where the R-97 Compact SMG is most effective or endeavor to maneuver closer to enemy pilots before firing. The R-97 Compact SMG has the highest fire rate of any Pilot Primary Weapon but extremely poor accuracy, range and damage. Interestingly, the R-97 has the distinctive triangle front sight/gas block of the AR-15 series. Like the R-101C, the weapon seems to be heavily inspired by the TDI Vector SMG.

The R-97 Compact SMG is a futuristic incarnation of modern-day submachine guns and personal defense weapons. While it possesses a substantially faster rate of fire than larger weapons, such as the R-101 or the Hemlok, its pistol-caliber cartridge has a lower muzzle velocity, resulting in a loss of both effective range and armor penetration, making it a questionable choice of firearm over distances and against Titans.

The R-97 Compact SMG fires 5.8x42mm DBP87 ammunition from a 40-Round detachable box magazine.
