anyone having problems with the AKM?(accuracy)

[commanderbash 102]

in the experimental it seems like the AKM was really going to be the contender with the m4, I have a pristine everything AKM:

railed fore-end

wooden stock(black)

drum mag

PSO-1 scope

light n' bipod

 

me and the gf usually hold down a town after gearing up full, but in almost every interaction I missed my shot:

shot at a runner ~50m away scoped in w/ breath held, missed 2 feet in front and behind

shot fully auto inside police station ~2m away, 14 shots in iron sight, all missed

shot at a target almost standing still ~75m, scoped in,single shots, missed 4 of the 6 shots

 

I don't know if this particular setup is glitched some how (painted stock?), I can get standing zombies at 200+m, but moving targets have been surprisingly evasive.

 

after an hour with the gun I called it quits for the night, I was curious if anyone else was having similar problems.

I have a feeling it might have something to do with the combination of exceptionally slow turning acceleration and high recoil.

Maybe it's not about AKM, it's about server desync?

well everyone looked to be under 100ms,, though the time I shot inside the police station, the bullets seemed to be hitting where the door would be if it was closed (it was open)

This is a known issue.  Saw it in the bug reports where bullets are not going through the open doors on the police station.

I've noticed rounds occasionally want to jump out to my right (not sure if i've seen tracers there) but i've only had the akm for a day or so.

That said, i've been confidantly dropping pigs and Z's with it around zeleno at 200m with a pretty good accuracy (PSO installed).

 

Really liking it myself, and haven't had your issues yet :S

For me the AKM jumps around like crazy when aiming and the sway on this thing is unbelievable slow when swinging it from left to right.

It feels more slower than a Mosin when swaying it from left to right.

Hello.

ive tried the akm for some days now and i find it to my liking not to use the scope at all. I believe the scope wobbles alot more than the iron sights on the weapon.

that being said ive killed around 10 people with it now and it usually takes only two-three rounds to get them down. Me and a pal both opens salivas of two rounds when we go for the kill shot, and have not really missed anything so far.

i would say the akm hits 50 % of the shots fired toward your target. When shooting at 100m or more the spread obviously goes up. Mind that all my kills were 40-120m. Preferable distance with the AKM to my liking is 60-70m.

It really gets your target down and rather kills them instead of getting them unconscious. I have never needed to double tap any of my targets when using the AKM.

hope this helped.

all my akm kills so far, where < 50 m, and that beast just smashed my enemys.

so far the hippfire accuracy is pretty decent IF you are NOT out of breath.

i allways lay down for a while, before entering a hotzone.

and then i walk instead of running = less noise and better accuracy.
