lafeasd 35 Posted March 8, 2014 Don't get me wrong, you guys are doing an awesome job adding all these new guns for different kinds of approach, and this will only get better. Now, my only question is: When can we expect to see the iconic AK-47 or the Makarov pistol? Thank you and have a good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjaontour 123 Posted March 8, 2014 They can keep the Makarov themselves unless they bring in the SD. I would, however, very much appreciate the addition of the AKM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iezza 108 Posted March 8, 2014 We have the AK 74 and AKM to fill the AK-47's role, but more guns wont hurt.The Makarov isn't in standalone? For such an iconic mod gun i thought it would be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For all intents and purposes the AKM is essentially identical to the 47. The .74 isn't really on par with the AKM or 47 as it uses 5.56 rounds. Gotta have that 7.62 FMJ, son.

Thank you and have a good one.I wouldn't be surprised if you see ppl QQing that a .22 can take some one out faster than the new AK 47 lol. Currently those gun calibers can knock ppl out in one hit.

lafeasd 35 Posted March 8, 2014 I was just surprised we got a colt 1911 or a B95 before some weapons from the rusky arsenal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathlove 2286 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I was just surprised we got a colt 1911 or a B95 before some weapons from the rusky arsenal.Ill say it once and ill say it more. AKs are over used in every single type of gun game its good to see some other odd stuff pop up. Edited March 8, 2014 by Deathlove Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjaontour 123 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Ill say it once and ill say it more. AKs are over used in every single type of gun game its good to see some other odd stuff pop up. Overuse in other games holds no weight here. The AK series of rifles is all over Eastern Europe and Russia, for obvious reasons, and so deserves to be adequately represented. I would also like to see the Steyr Aug make an appearance, as it's another European weapon which several of our armed forces use.

I agree, but it's the same as if you did a Ferrari game and started adding other cars before an actual Ferrari. Edited March 8, 2014 by lafeasd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta have that 7.62 FMJ, son. I don't like the 7.62x39mm when I need to hit targets at longer ranges. Follow up shots are also harder.But yeah, the penetration power is nice.

ninjaontour 123 Posted March 8, 2014 Which of those are currently available in the standalone? None of them at the moment, mate. We had the AKM, and AKS-107 in the mod. I'd imagine that they'll be introduced soon enough, given their frequency in real life. I don't like the 7.62x39mm when I need to hit targets at longer ranges. Follow up shots are also harder.But yeah, the penetration power is nice. I know what you mean, but if you hit the first shot, the second is pretty much a given since it's very likely you'll break the target's legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zjasuu 337 Posted March 8, 2014 I want AK's, SVD and a Makarov Either way, I think there shouldn't be too much variety to the calibers, if they make 30 different weapons with all having different ammo it's gonna suck balls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ammo scarcity is something the devs are looking at. They don't want it to be easy to gear up, and the general idea is that scarcity will be a good anti-KOS measure. Time will tell.

ninjaontour 123 Posted March 8, 2014 just wanted to say. wheres the bows and xbows? If you watch the latest Devblog the new physics system and archery components are demonstrated. I haven't got a link handy but you'll find it on YouTube if you look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would also like to see the Steyr Aug make an appearance, as it's another European weapon which several of our armed forces use.Agreed. It wouldn't make sense to have an american weapon such as the m4 and not any variants of the ak. Also I love the Aug as well, would be a pretty unique addition, as its not used in many other games (excluding counter-strike). No other gun I'd love to have more in DayZ than an Aug at this point.

antonioajc 500 Posted March 8, 2014 I don't think the Ak-47 will make it in the game, rather, the AK-74 and the AKM will replace it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sure I understand this post .22 should be inferior in terms of stopping power to a hunting grade xbow or bow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
