hombrecz 832 Posted January 24, 2014 If you can slap hunting optic on this badboy, there will be some crazy sniping going on!It east AK47/AKM round 7,62x39, shoots semi-auto, should have decent accuracy....once in game, that might become many people's gun of choice...plus it fits the theme of post-Soviet country perfectly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

faramon 66 Posted January 24, 2014 God this gun makes me sex wee wee in my pants though .. I want it in the game so bad that I think I am creating kidney stones over the matter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why people think this is a "sniper" rifle. It's just a rifle. A semi-auto rifle. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
komadose 190 Posted January 24, 2014 It is? Oh well...yes. i guess if it's been 10 minutes since it's tweeted, you are making a fool of yourself. "OLD NEWS NOOB GTFO" but seriously, it was news to me, so thanks for posting. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terminal_boy 860 Posted January 24, 2014 Don't count on it for sniping anything over 400m Don't count on sniping anything with an SKS.. As accurate as an AK-47 IIRC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faramon 66 Posted January 24, 2014 ... but as accurate as a semi AK47 ... so pretty damn accurate? xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konna 149 Posted January 24, 2014 Yeah you should of looked at the tweet date, its not in game and peoke are still looking for them You literally post multiple times on every thread.. But yes, like everyone stated, old news. Use the search function for SKS, you'll probably find multiple hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

terminal_boy 860 Posted January 24, 2014 ... but as accurate as a semi AK47 ... so pretty damn accurate? xD Around 4 MOA at 300 metres, so about twice as much dispersion as an M4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faramon 66 Posted January 24, 2014 an M4 with 2 inches at 300m's? xDDDDDDDD Average shooter for M4 will do 2-3 at 100 and 3-4 with an SKS at 100 xD ... this would be standard rifles with staple ammo, true the M4 is more accurate but not double. Still looking forward to the rifle in game mind :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terminal_boy 860 Posted January 24, 2014 Google "Minute Of Angle".. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sess130 50 Posted January 24, 2014 Just did a little research, because I am pumped for this gun to be in-game. The m4 is more accurate than the sks and has better range due to the 5.56mm round. However, the sks has significantly more stopping power and piercing ability (7.62x39mm). I am worried about how this will play out in-game, though. Mostly because the m4 is inaccurate as hell in dayz and if they make the sks less accurate it will barely be usable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faramon 66 Posted January 24, 2014 Google "Minute Of Angle".. Lol so are you trying to say .. you mean MOA when used on a bench rest vice gripped rifle .. cos am just gonna go ahead and believe in average person version instead xD .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted January 24, 2014 I am worried about how this will play out in-game, though. They seem to have made it somehow fit neatly between the Mosin and the M4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faramon 66 Posted January 24, 2014 I'd hope it'd be roughly same sort of M4 range but with a heavier punch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) In reality 5.56x45 should be more of a "sniping" round than 7.62x39.. I don't know why people think this is a "sniper" rifle. It's just a rifle. A semi-auto rifle. Surely for some mediocre hunting, the SKS with optics would not be that bad.It fits the theme, it will be great addition to the game, better then any .50 cal would ever be!And I ignore 5,56x45 when we are talking about russian weapons :). Don't count on it for sniping anything over 400m That's ok man, I'm not pr0 sniper, but I just want SKS ! SKS and AK's, that's pure russian stuff when you ask me.Now when I think about it, even good 'ol AKM with PSO scope would be mighty fine.
