GanjaPalooza 35 Posted February 2, 2014 you can't put Hunter Scopes on the SKS anymore as far as I am concerned. you're right about the reload animation, it's gorgeous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snaftii (DayZ) 123 Posted February 2, 2014 You can put a hunter scope on it iv'e seen it just really bad recoil and the gun is not good past 300 meter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannynickelov 126 Posted February 2, 2014 I am so dropping my M4 for this, i loved this weapon in all games! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hells high 676 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Everything about this weapon is amazing... EXCEPT for the animation where he puts it into battery. If only it was a pull and release animation it'd be flawless... I don't even know if the SKS is like the Garand, where inserting rounds unlocks the bolt carrier (correct me if I'm wrong, SKS owners), so it might even be impossible to chamber the weapon the way it is currently. My only real gripe, will probably be my new weapon of choice. Edit: What I mean, not sure if the Yugos are different than the Ruskies (again, SKS owners): http://youtu.be/bgCoG4eT0p0?t=11m14s Just a minor thing, but oh so satisfying.

dvsilverwing 241 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) You said the Mosin uses 7.62x51, it actually uses 7.62x54r. I like the brown bear reference on the box though, thanks for showing that. Still a little confused as to why the bayonet is detatched and spawns separately, but I guess that's a minor complaint. Also, you can hopefully load the SKS manually in the inventory without using stripper clips (leaving stripper clips to serve the same purpose as the speedloader to the Python and the snap loaders to the IZH43). Edit: What I mean, not sure if the Yugos are different than the Ruskies (again, SKS owners): http://youtu.be/bgCoG4eT0p0?t=11m14s Just a minor thing, but oh so satisfying. They all look the same except for the Albanian and Yugo, and work the same way minus the way you can screw around with the Yugo's gas system in order to launch grenades.

I'm also hoping you don't need the clip, but I guess it will make things more interesting having to find those clips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
