MAG-7 | Popdog (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

MAG-7 | Popdog in Battle-Scarred is the train-car theme taken to its end: rust tones, worn olive metal and only fragments of the teal Pop Dog panel. Large areas of the receiver and magazine show bare grey metal through the paint. It is the cheapest way to own the design, and the scrapyard look fits its theme.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver is styled as the side of a train car, with panel lines, rivets and vents in olive and ochre, rust-brown patches and a teal section bearing the Pop Dog graphic. The pump grip under the barrel is a greyish olive with darker, grimy shading, while the barrel and its shroud stay dark with a slight metallic sheen.

Large areas of the pump, magazine and receiver edges are worn down to bare metal. Only parts of the teal panel and the Pop Dog graphic remain, broken up by scratches. In game the gun looks mostly grey-brown with scattered colour. Some paint survives in the recessed areas of the receiver.

Stickers and crafts

Muted stickers in olive, brown, rust or teal sit naturally on the train-car panels and keep the weathered mood. Holo or bright stickers work as contrast if placed away from the Pop Dog graphic so the logo stays visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a worn grade keeps the receiver graphic noticeably cleaner.
• Look at the teal Pop Dog section on the receiver, as it is the main detail of the design and the first thing lost on heavily worn copies.
• Inspect the pump edge and the bottom of the magazine, which wear first and show bare metal clearly.
• Check for applied stickers and a name tag, because they change how the receiver side looks.
