-DMG-Jonesy 226 Posted January 20, 2014 The mosin and the SKS use different ammo. Not all 7.62 is created equal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Gews- 7443 Posted January 21, 2014 Sawn-off shotgun has "about 4x the spread of the full length @25m" according to Chris Torchia. They'll have the same damage (according to me). I could have sworn your page said something about 5.45mm last time I read it. I don't think they'd give the AK-74M the wrong ammunition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gregor (DayZ) 95 Posted January 21, 2014 The AK-74M uses 5.45×39 cartridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted January 21, 2014 The AK-74M uses 5.45×39 cartridge. Yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weedmasta 784 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Would make sense if the regular would be a main weapon and the sawn-off a sidearm that you can store in your inventory. Would be even more awesome if we could put it in the holster. Edited January 21, 2014 by weedmasta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatesauce 99 Posted January 21, 2014 This is great. Looking forward to the SKS and the improvised bombs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatesauce 99 Posted January 21, 2014 Explosive Trip wires will make any military installation a total deathfestIf the supplies are not in abundance it could work, assuming of course they can be deactivated with pliers and have a decay rate(maybe) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dayzintel 39 Posted January 21, 2014 I believe I've fixed the ammunitions. Ruger - .22SKS - 7.62 x 39AK74M - 5.45 x 39 It's too late for this madness :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Byzan 20 Posted January 21, 2014 really like the SKS, actually almost got one IRL last weekend! I have a feeling it will become my go to gin in SA once its in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Celt (DayZ) 30 Posted January 21, 2014 Don't think a .22 is going to be very effective in terms of damage at 300 meters, or that it can be used to hunt deer (at least, not easily or quickly).Otherwise, great guide! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Awruk 216 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) "However, most players I talk to all have the same feelings on one thing. There are not enough ranged weapons." lol fix the goddamn desync and add vehicles thats what most players feel still nice weapons :) Edited January 21, 2014 by Awruk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dayzintel 39 Posted January 22, 2014 Pretty sure the Remington is in the works, dickflip :) We're just not sure how long we'll have to wait before we see it, so we've elft ti out the post.
