SxeDave 7 Posted February 6, 2014 Found an SKS and currently looking for ammo. If I find an M4 should I swap it for that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dchil 829 Posted February 6, 2014 The SKS is seen as a middle ground between the mosin and the M4. So if you want to spray and pray alot get the M4, if you want quick but aimed shots with a decent amount of damage behind them then keep the SKS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commanderfluffy 20 Posted February 6, 2014 I just dropped my Mosin for a SKS but haven't got to test it out yet. Ammo does seem hard to come by though. I got 90 rounds for it and cant seem to find anymore lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You won't need any more than that...in fact i'd argue that you don't need 90 rounds Edited February 6, 2014 by DeatHTaX 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did find an M4 and swapped it out but I do want to at least shoot the sks so ill probably find another one and use the 14 rds I have for it on some zombies.

Nails 150 Posted February 6, 2014 Just ended a play session that yielded me 3 SKS kills and I have to say I prefer it over the M4 now. Although in each scenario I had the upper hand, so the M4 probably works better in a frantic situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

worst2first 71 Posted February 6, 2014 Maybe I'm a shitty shot but I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 400 plus meters with the M4. This was with all pristine parts and an ACOG. At 200-300 meters it was very accurate though. I haven't had time to try out the SKS yet but I think it may be my go to weapon. A Mosin with a LRS is of limited use to me as I don't snipe unwary players (although it's great for scouting) and I try to avoid CQB so the M4 isn't great for me either. I think the SKS may be a good compromise of power and range that will fit my play style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With MP handguard, MP buttstock and bipod you are ridiculously accurate out to ~700 meters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen very few MP parts in my 60 hours or so of playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
