This conversion kit now boasts increased maximum and mid damage range, transforming the FJX Horus into a versatile powerhouse.

Additionally, the JAK Scimitar Kit enhances recoil control and firing aim stability while reducing aiming idle sway, giving you on-point precision. It also increases bullet count.

After equipping the aftermarket part, select the 9mm High Grain Rounds in the ammunition slot to further extend the weapon’s damage range.

To balance out the JAK Scimitar Kit’s negative effect on mobility and handling, choose the DR-6 Handstop and Ripper Light Stock.

These underbarrel and stock attachments elevates your aim walking, aim down sight, sprint to fire, and movement speed.

Alternatively, you can opt for the No Stock if you want greater mobility and handling stats. However, it comes at the cost of accuracy and recoil control.

Finally, pick the Slate Reflector for a neat precision sight picture and smooth magnification, allowing for easy target acquisition.

You can also go with the Nydar Model 2023, MK. 3 Reflector, or any other optic that suits your preference for an SMG.
