Trivia
- This is the third weapon in Counter-Strike Online to feature lock-on target function after Thunderbolt and Lightning Rail.
- This is the first weapon in Counter-Strike Online that can indicate the range of the target.
- The weapon model resembles the XM25 CDTE.
- However, the performance of the weapon is not the same as the original. XM25 CDTE is a 4-round smart grenade launcher but VULCANUS-5 is just a smart assault rifle.
- The stats are nearly similar to TAR-21, while the reload animation is similar to F2000.
- There is "Hephaestus Rome" written on the weapon body. It may refer to Hephaestus, Greek god of blacksmiths, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, metals, metallurgy, fire and volcanoes.
- Unlike other weapons, VULCANUS-5 does not have world and player models, but only have view and shop models.
- During its debut in Taiwan/Hong Kong region, its shop icon was misplaced with VULCANUS-7 instead even though the label describes the opposite.
- Interestingly, this weapon also locks-on Mosquitoes and Stingray Kites.
