SKS attatchments

[kaix12 34]

More SKS attatchments! Many things for the SKS have been kinda left out, and some of these change how good the gun is as well.

 

1. Mags! SKS mags should be added, these are mags which are made to replace the non-detatchable ones, these come in 20 and 30 round versions. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1116427053/tapco-magazine-sks-762x39mm-russian-20-round-polymer

In order to use them there could be two ways depending on what the devs wanted. first way is to simply detatch built in mag and then attatch the better mags like you do in a m4 when reloading. Or two you have to use a screwdriver on the SKS, removing the built in mag, then you can reload with detatchable mags but it means you cannot use rounds without the mag or stripper clips.

2. Tapco polymer and railed stocks. Yes I hate polymer stocks on russian wood furniture guns, but whats wrong with adding more customizability? The polymer could increase manouvrability for more recoil (less weight) and the railed one gives you the ability to put on a bipod, or long range scope.

3. SKS hunting stocks, basically a different wood stock for the SKS: http://www.tickbitesupply.com/stocks.html

4. Barrel launched grenades. rare but incrediably useful in killing campers, can only be found on airfields / military bases and in-order to use one you must empty the gun, get the blank catridge which is found on it's own (can be used to scare people) load the blank cartridge and then load the grenade then you can fire, that way it's balanced (a long time to get to work = only really useful against campers)

5. Coloured foresights, current in-game ones are black and hard to use at night, coloured ones aid visibility and make aiming easier. http://www.tapco.com/products/sks/index.php?_a=viewCat&catId=35

 

I hope they add a similar amount of attatchments to the ruger 10/22 and Ak-74m (Ak74m-Ak-74 wood-Ugly railed ak-74), if not I will have to make moar threads!

I would vote "no" I think some weapons should have no attachments like the magnum or sks

[AnyoneInCherno? 187]

NO! RIFLE OF GLORIOUS SOVIET MAKE NEED NO CAPITALIST PIG STOCK OF FRAIL PLASTIC AND FILTH. IS DISGRACE TO GLORIOUS USSR AND OF WORLD. PIG DISGUSTING COMRADE.

Why? PU scope is all you need.

[Capo 323]

we have the PU scope, and i don't mind an extended mag because it's such an easy modification. 

 

new stocks and weaver rails/all that shit, no fucken thanks, it'd take knowledge in gunsmithing which most people don't have. 

 

i'd like to point all extended mags, aftermarket stocks etc are US made, meaning they wouldn't really be in a post soviet state. 

[Chaingunfighter 917]

The mags are fine, and maybe a few new optics but otherwise I don't think re-kitting the entire body of the gun is something anyone could do on the fly.

[infiltrator 275]

I was thinking the compensator myself.

I was thinking the compensator myself. There's no point dreaming about stocks or grenade launchers.

Well there will (most likely) be grenade launchers for guns like the M4A1 and AK-74 (they posted a screenshot of an AK-74M with a GP-30)

[infiltrator 275]

I meant for the sks, sorry.

yes, but the M4 as well AK-74 or 47. Is a Assault rifle. SKS is more a DMR Rifle SO to speak. its not design to be fully auto, nor have all thows attachments. mod it would be more US style. WHich fine if thats what they going for, But given the map. I think they trying to keep more to its roots. SKS is not a easy gun to mount sights and stuff on. I have one. good gun for iron sight. But in order to mod it. I would have to stripe everthing but the upper. Which pretty much a different gun. Far as power goes. It should be the same strength wise as the AK. It the same round. I say leave it alone.  The wood stock brings the style to the rifle. Not all weapons should have everthing added. They are not made to. M4 was design for that purpouse MId range urban fighting with flashlight to blind laser, For hip firing in tight corners. SKS. Not design for that. 

[Jhunt7507 29]

No mags for the sks. The only magazines that work for the sks are ones from norinco they are from china. The SKS is meant to be a standard 10 shot battle rifle. No sane person would "sporterize" it and destroy its beauty

[infiltrator 275]

But it does need something. Currently it's an atrocity to just be able to put on a single scope and a worthless bayonet.. 

[stielhandgranate 480]

TAPCO is shit.

[dvsilverwing 241]

TAPCO is shit.

 

Seems like most people that own their products are relatively happy with them. SKS works fine without being tacticool'd up but just because you personally don't like the aesthetics of a product doesn't mean it's garbage

Sorry, I speak from experience. When I was younger I bought TAPCO Mags for my MAK-90 thinking they would be equal in quality to MAGPUL P-MAGs. Failure to feed, break on contact with the ground after a reload,magazine lips chipping away. It's an inferior product.

That's an exaggeration, not every gun is going to need or be able to use a plethora of modifications. The SKS being one of those guns. The majority of the modifications suggested are American aftermarket parts, and would be either extremely difficult to get in a post soviet state before the collapse of civilization, let alone afterwards, or require gunsmithing skills, which we can assume most people don't have. 

 

Attachments should be introduced based on what the weapons role is, and what would be readily available. The SKS is a battle rifle, it's effective range is about 400 meters, it doesn't need LRS, synthetic stocks, bipod or any of that shit to fill that role. 

 

a muzzle brake - which would actually be very effective for an sks, and possibly an extended mag (only because it's a very simple modification, they would have to be very rare), would be the only extra modifications that should be implemented. Once the PU scope is fixed to it's proper zoom it will serve the mid range battle rifle role much more effectively than it currently does. Apart from that there isn't much you can do with an SKS without US made parts and some gunsmithing skills.

I really wanna see some fore grips, but wooden as part of the stock for AK and maybe SKS.

No Plastic crap please.

Stop being a damn commie lol. AND SHARE WITH ME THE TASTY SECRETS OF YOUR NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER!!

 

Anyways variety is nice. And also AKs do have many attachments as well not just the SKS.

I was the one that suggested the muzzle brake.. And I do agree that there is no need for a tonne of attachments, but Ivd like weapons to have some sort of progression/adaptation phase that fits their original concept. I don't want to have a gazillion tacticool attachments, I'm the last guy that'd want that actually. But just grabbing a PU and calling it a night is not good either.

[kaix12 34]

Well personnally I only would like the Tapco stock because it would give the SKS more variety and ability, I personaly prefer the SKS in wood and if they fixed the PU scope then I would never use the tapco stock. But yes of course it would be hard to find, but then again so would an M4, let alone magpul stuff! Because at the moment I would like to have more attatchments to use or at least find, so say I manage to get some friends to buy Dayz and now instead of sniping I can go into to towns more safely, then I can spend some hours finding a tapco stock and a Aimpoint to maximise my survivabilty in towns against the evil M4 users!

 

Oh yeah and PU scope needs a fix, ATM it's barely a sniper scope (1.5 or 2x zoom depending on sources! It's hard enough to use because of the lack of real zeroing on the scope and that it is WW2 era so the crosshairs aren't the best, but 1.5x zoom!)

So as long as they fix that then I probably won't need the Tapco stock, just the mags which would be nice and balanced and would be probably easierly found as you can also make them from scratch if you have the skills (seen AK mags converted for SKS use)
