I think that you shouldn't get any magical skill points that you spend, but your dude gets better at stuff when they actually do it. If you use guns a lot you're better at handling guns however if you use a specific gun a lot you are better at handling that specific gun, or the more you run the better you run etc.

armour piercing incendiary (API) rounds which destroy armour but don't do any more damage to un armoured targets

I've been seeing a lot of posts about military weapons vs civilian weapons and to be honest both sides make sense, so here is my take on it. the ak series of rifles in reality are insanely common i think like 1 in every 80 people own one world wide. Also people are saying that in Russia gun laws are strict. This may be the case but think what happened before the zombie apocalypse, a massive civil war which pretty much means no government, and no government means no laws so I'm sure that a bunch of illegal guns got into the hands of the civilians. I'm not saying that you should be able to find an anti tank weapon or m240 in some shack, but you should every so often find an ak or m4 in a civilian area.

a lifchik chest rig for sure also maybe different chicom chest rigs

rail kits are a big no rail kits are more of an american thing and wouldn't fit in the games setting bipods should be attachable without a rail kit, the gun already has a massive compensater in game and if you want some kind of sight a side mount would work a suppressor would be ok, a long range scope doesn't make sense because this rifle is a carbine which really isn't designed for 1000 meter shots the sks below is similar to the one in game i believe it's a yugoslavian one it has a bipod with no rail kit

a bunch of obscure eastern European cars Yugo 45 Lada etc

If or actually when they add the ak's to this game i hope they do it properly it would be cool if they just add the akm and ak74, but it would be way cooler if they added a whole bunch of the ak variants from different countries and depending on what country they were from it will affect performance eg a Romanian ak wouldn't be as good as a Polish one. Something else that could be implemented would also be the ability to pick and chose pretty much every part of the gun (with the right tools of course) so you could have some thing like this. a Hungarian blued amd 65 lower receiver with a parkerized Russian bolt. a parkerized ribbed Bulgarian receiver cover, etc. I do see this being a little nit picky and most people wouldn't care too much, but i think that would be pretty cool because no two guns would be the same.
