PhillyT 554 Posted June 22, 2014 I know AK pistols are a thing. Just, the gun you have looks ugly as fuck. No stock, drum mag, PU scope, rail guard. Like, ew. The gun looks amazing with no stock and 30 round mags. Really cool like that, your picture is "Omfgwtfbbq" One of my AK-47 looks like the AK in that picture. Looks cool as hell. I have a red dot on mine obviously because PSO style scopes are ridiculously expensive. If someone wants to run around with that so what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katana67 2907 Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Would be nice to add this handguard, and remove the RIS and other improbable attachments. Yeah, $50 railed handguards that can be purchased on the internet from anywhere... Common attachment/modification used by everyone from Russia, to Chad, to Somalia, to Serbia, to Bulgaria, to Ukraine, to Iraq, to Pakistan, to Afghanistan, to India, to Romania, to Algeria, to Armenia, to Azerbaijan, to Bosnia, to underfunded Peshmerga militants, to Shi'a militants in Iraq, to Hamas militants... Totally improbable to find as a rare loot item... http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/181929-what-clothing-setweapons-would-you-add-if-you-could/?p=2016874 Both can and do exist, why discriminate?

Sutinen 635 Posted June 22, 2014 Would be nice to add this handguard, and remove the RIS and other improbable attachments. It needs the rail handguard for flashlights though. But I think that could be added as another handguard, because it looks cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

terminal_boy 860 Posted June 22, 2014 Can you add flashlight with duct tape?Not really with an A /M as you don't want to block off the cooling slots in the handguard. Taping it to the barrel/piston tube is going to work right up until you start shooting it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibonez 3633 Posted June 22, 2014 Everything that is wrong with weapons in the SA in one picture. future of dayz. Tacticool everything gotta make good use of that attachment system am I rite ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted June 22, 2014 Hopefully they will reconsider this attachment madness at some point.Btw wonder what assault rifle will be added next?G36 or L85 as another helicrash loot or future nato outpost only?

Katana67 2907 Posted June 22, 2014 future of dayz. Tacticool everything gotta make good use of that attachment system am I rite ? I've decided that every time you use the word "tacticool" or the phrase "mall ninja" or silly vitriolic lol-images... I'm going to start storing, what I've come to know as, "reali-tard" points. Just to let you know how unreasonable the things you say on this forum, are. By example, of course, in using "reali-tard" as a silly, vitriolic, dismissal of your point. If you can't pick up on the subtle demonstration of your own methodology, then /giggle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok sure mall ninja is vitriolic but tacticool is not I thought that was the standard industry term now for jet black firearms with an overabundance of rails.Heck some gun manufacturers have embraced this term such as CZ with their 455 tacticool edition.

Would LOVE AK74, hopefully Devs will give us proper 5,45x39 version though. They almost have to no ? The AK74 is so prevalent in current world wide conflicts and future conflicts. Look at Ukraine for example nearly every single weapon seen is an ak74 variant of some kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyT 554 Posted June 22, 2014 I don't think that a flashlight is overly much tactical gear. I mean, actual tactical gear includes at least flashlights and red dots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's nothing "industry standard" about tacticool, it's every bit as dismissive as "mall ninja." CZ is using it sarcastically. So is the picture you posted. Nobody actually runs their gear like that, that weapon was expressly created to demonstrate an extreme, one which doesn't have any bearing on DayZ. Likewise, the second image (IIRC) is a demonstration of a German (or some other nation) "Future Warrior" analog program. Tacticool is essentially, forgive the extreme comparison, the n-word of the firearms community. Used to dismiss things based upon their appearance. Sure, not everything that's black and has rails is necessary. But some of it is, and you wield the term as if it applies to everything that isn't made out of wood. Likewise, you wield the term as if it is indicative of objective merit of an innate object. Edited June 22, 2014 by Katana67 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at Ukraine for example nearly every single weapon seen is an ak74 variant of some kind. At the moment they still hold that silly idea of caliber "streamlining" and last time they spoke about AK74, devs were reluctant to introduce 5,45x39 .

"Tacticool" is aimed against overtuned weapons (subjectively), while "reali-tard" is mix of realism+retard so aiming to demean person or group of people, which in my book is a lot worse. Also I find it quite understandable, that some folks are irked by attachments magicaly adding accuracy to some weapons.When you add caliber "streamlining", that is the cause of 5,45x39 AK74 being shelved atm, some people simply have their Jimmies rustled a lot. I'm hoping, that most of this fantasyland mumbo jumbo is purely because "alpher". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are both thoughtless terms used to dismiss something without actually explaining oneself with any semblance of a reasoned response, other than "well, I don't like it." Hence why I dreamt it up... That is the point with my counter-example of "reali-tard." To demonstrate the utter bile that is dismissing something because of its appearance or in using only vitriol to back a point. Moreover, you can advocate for something whilst not slandering the opposite end of the spectrum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted June 24, 2014 Moreover, you can advocate for something whilst not slandering the opposite end of the spectrum. That is ofcourse true, although in my previous post I've hinted, why some folks might be upset.Personally I find term "tacticool" rather funny, but that can be just me.

trev186 389 Posted August 2, 2014 I heard a rumor that the AK101 buttstock is the best buttstock for the AKM and reduces dispersion more than the other two....I assumed this would be the thread and the people to ask..Should I go hunt down an AK101 buttstock ? Plastic is kinda lame but if it is better then I guess it gives me something to do and the black goes well with my night setup I suppose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exp .48 they spawn all over the place but I have not found a pristine buttstock yet. do you know anything about the stats?

trev186 389 Posted August 2, 2014 Well Regular character has acquired 1 stock had to check every barrack from NWAF down to Zelengorsk Almost got killed by the LMB bug when i went to ax 3 zombies outside zelengorsk only to discover that i could not longer attack... At least i was quick and escaped without being hit and lured them to a red deer! Testing the dispersion/kick/accuracy with the black buttstock I can not notice any major improvements. If anything there is just the placebo effect right now but it looks nice with my night time stalking setup so I guess ill now venture the same on my HC character.

-Gews- 7443 Posted August 3, 2014 Testing the dispersion/kick/accuracy with the black buttstock I can not notice any major improvements. Plastic stock alone reduces dispersion by ~4% compared to all wood, plastic handguard alone reduces it by ~12% compared to all wood, all plastic reduces it by ~15% compared to all wood. However you will probably be unable to tell any difference between them in normal gameplay, and probably not if you were trying to test them in-game either, so I wouldn't worry about it. You can also remove all M4 and AK stocks and handguards if you wish with minimal practical difference... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
