[The Community's List of Suggested Weapons for Dayz Standalone (Version: 1.29)]

Gotta vote for the RPK, its an AK and a half. 50% thicker receiver, 50% larger trunnion, 50% longer barrel, weighs ~50% more, 50% larger magazine

AKs74:

Weight: 7 Lbs

Receiver thickness: 1 mm

Flat Trunnion

Standard Magazine : 30 rounds

Barrel length: 16 inches

Total length: 37.1 inches

 

RPKs74

Weight: 10.7 Lbs

Receiver thickness: 1.5 mm

Bulged Trunnion

Standard Magazine : 45 rounds

Barrel length: 24 inches

Total length: 45.7 inches (with current hardware)

 

Again, its basically an AK * 1.5

COMMENT 1: Yes, and this could be accounted for quite easily. various ammo types have various penetration/ damage  values, Each gun has a "grid" - for a hunting rifle, it might have been zeroed by its previous owner for hollow points, so they follow the sights, but say, (N)grn FMJ shoots high, AP shoots low-left, Match shoots high left. A military sniper might shoot center with match, etc.
