Reg Park 160 Posted June 24, 2014 despite being shot at first, at about 10m away - he never actually hit me (at least no sign of it) and he had the scope on, i was able to put him down with the sks. i did end up taking his akm but I'm wondering about accuracy or he was just zoomed in and kept missing -not sure, but i took the scope off and just using iron sights for now. anyone noticed accuracy issues on the akm with the scope or just in general? it should be about the same as the sks id think, just more ammo.

5p4rtan (DayZ) 35 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) AKM aimed accuracy is very accurate. He may have tried to hip shoot you? Or he was ADS without holding his breath and this caused extreme weapon sway as introduced in the last patch. Edited June 24, 2014 by 5p4rtan 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rotteck 104 Posted June 24, 2014 the akm has no spread, so he was probably zoomed in (bad idea at a distance of 10m with a scope designed up to 100m)so right now this is the most accurate gun in game (hopefully this gets changed soon though)damage is the same as sks, but akm is full auto and can have 75rd drum mag, oh and rail handguard, weapon flashlight and bipod (worthless due to no spread but looks cool) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rotteck 104 Posted June 24, 2014 Or he was ADS without holding his breath and this caused extreme weapon sway as introduced in the last patch. i dont think this was the case, because from a distance of 10 metres the sway must have been HUGE in order to not hit him with any bullet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frosti 2165 Posted June 24, 2014 This happens, I was shooting from AKM at a guy from like 2 meters when we bumped on each other in military building. 20 bullets and he just started bleed and ran away behind the corner. Luckly AKM mag has 30 bullets so I had 10 left to sprint after him and finish him of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jurionov37 22 Posted June 24, 2014 Note that it has no dispersion, but terrible recoil, so if he gone full auto on you he could have easily missed all when zoomed in at 10m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted June 24, 2014 Note that it has no dispersion, but terrible recoil, so if he gone full auto on you he could have easily missed all when zoomed in at 10m That sounds cool! Huge recoil is to be expected when somebody goes full auto with AKM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarchHare 184 Posted June 24, 2014 Anyone who has fired an AK in real life knows if you want to hit your target, burst fire. At 10 meters that recoil dispersion on full auto can be huge. I've experienced 2-3 meter dispersion at 10 meters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reg Park 160 Posted June 24, 2014 i haven't tested this yet but can we switch to semi auto on the akm like we can on the m4? id think being fairly close (within 30-50m at the most) just tapping the fire button using hip fire/dot would be sufficient enough? no need to ADS that close i would think...... especially if you're stationary and holding down the right mouse button for stability.

brumey 116 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) without holding his breath and this caused extreme weapon sway indeed. after a long run i d rather take my 1911... Edited June 24, 2014 by brumey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piggypotpie 14 Posted June 25, 2014 Most accurate gun in the game?! the sway when trying to aim, even when prone and rested, makes its power useless. Add the PSO and the thing is a hunk a shit that you'd better off throwing it at a target than shooting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kakysas666 191 Posted June 25, 2014 AKM is simply a shit weapon. Especially with a scope. m4 with scope is 10 times more accurate than AKM. However AKM with no scope is pretty good compared to stock m4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm using this PSO scope more like a binocular then for shooting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyT 554 Posted June 25, 2014 IF he was running, it is almost impossible to hit anything when you bring it up to shoot. Sway is outrageous! Still, he was a crap shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarchmelloMan 16 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Shot two guys that had an AKM, me armed with magnum. Saw their problem after picking up the AKM with the scope - almost impossible to shoot enemies below 50 metres with that vision and zoom, even more if they strafe a little Edited June 26, 2014 by MarchmelloMan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidsnake 275 Posted June 26, 2014 They're just full auto fools. The AKM is definitely a semi-auto weapon with its recoil. I'll laugh even harder when the G3 gets added and people go all full auto with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
