MAG-7 | Sand Dune (Battle-Scarred)

The CT-exclusive Mag-7 delivers a devastating amount of damage at close range. Its rapid magazine-style reloads make it a great tactical choice. It has individual parts spray-painted solid colors in a sand dune color scheme. With Turner dead, we have a new priority: rescue Alex Kincaide - Felix Riley, Commanding Officer
