AKM in a nutshell

[OfficerRaymond 2067]

The AKM, every-bodies favorite assault rifle.

Simple and quick review of the AKM and ones like it you will find around Chernarus:

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Pros: - High damage rates when shots are put into the legs/chest area; 4500 blood. - Iron sights can be zeroed for certain situations; 100-800m

- Relatively common in Chernarus - Iron sights can put accurate headshots on targets from 1-300m with the right zero and patience and skill -Great knockout power in PvP situations, could take down multiple survivors at medium range with the right cover.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cons: - Zeroing can be complicated if you have no rangefinders, making long range shots somewhat difficult when compared to other rifles, but

once range estimation is learned and perfected to a certain point, this problem is minimum.

- Ammo spawns much less commonly in my experience, as opposed to STANAG and Ak-74 mags. - Loud and obvious; the sound is quite distinguishable as an AKM shot.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All in all, I think the AKM is a great starting weapon, as many do. I would definitely also use it in squads as well. I find, the more ammo that my squad stacks, the more ammo we need to find. If you come by an AKM with at least 2 mags and don't have anything better, grab it and collect. You'll either die, keep collecting ammo, or find something better. 9/10 for inexperienced, 7-10/10 for "masters.

I like it, the iron sights don't encourage tunnel vision like the M4 & M16 variant's do. That and the one hit zombie kills are nice.

Just help me out here, is the point of this topic to brag about the AKM or?

Because if it is, I like how it 1 shots zombies, I didn't like it before, thought it was crap, now when I found it, it's neat.

No, that's not "in a nutshell."

AKM in a nutshell is..

Bodyshots.

in a nutshell is when something is said in a few words. so few words it could FIT in a nutshell.

1 am, so my best random thought as follows;

"In a nutshell, don't ever trust McGregor with your sheep"

Personally I enjoy the AKM, I like your short review for new players, but if i was doing an AKM review... in a nutshell.

1 shot center mass, very loud, good range.

No, that's not "in a nutshell."

Bodyshots.

That's the 1866 in a nutshell, dumbkopf.

Silly Engie. You aren't German.

Most weapons without a scope are bodyshot weapons.

I prefer the SA-58 just because it sounds cooler
