The AR-23 Liberator unlocks at level 0 and appears as the Izhmash AK-12 (AK17 Rifle).
The Liberator is a high-power military-issue spreader of democracy with a relatively low kick and good gun control. It can also penetrate through light armor, but will struggle with most heavier armors. Despite having a very high total ammo count (having a whopping 8 spare magazines), the whole mag will be completely discarded when partially reloading the weapon, so aim well and don't waste your precious ammo!
