	Lastly, the weapon's maintenance stats.

	Rolling maintenance stats consists in a '''@roll 2#1d100''' if the weapon was found on the floor at random, or '''@roll 2#1d100+25''' if it belongs in the inventory of a random encounters (if the roll goes above 100, it is treated as 100). This will roll percentage values, respectively for condition and cleanliness. We will assume this RPK-74 was found at random; here are our rolls.

-	In this case, we get the very rare '''Match-grade ammo'''. It is wise to check [[Customs:Ammunition\|this page]]; firstly because it describes the effects of every bullet type, but also to ensure that the rolled weapon's caliber is indeed compatible with the rolled bullet type, otherwise as it promises, it will be FMJ. However, for our case ([[5.45x39mm]]), Match-grade is definitely possible.
