Coronus 0 Posted July 9, 2014 Ok, so I actually tried to do a good bit of research before posting here and could not come up with anything. Question #1 Doesnt the SKS come with an internal clip? 2. If so why is it I can only load 1 bullet (in chamber) instead of the prescribed 10 in to the internal clip. 3. Am I doing something wrong? I tried to load the rounds manually and it kept saying the SKS was full. 4. Does this mean that there are already 10 rounds inserted? 5. If so, when I look in my inventory, it appears as if only 1 round is "attached" to the SKS. This is really frustrating me as the place where I found the SKS did not have a single strip clip in it. Is this strip clip required (which doesnt make any sense) to load the weapons internal clip? Thanks for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sm00tje 88 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Eject all ammo! count your ammo, attach your ammo, see how much ammo is left. Now you know how much is in there, simple as that. The gun itself doesn't show how much ammo is in, so you don't know how much is in there and have to count your shots! Pretty realistic if you ask me. edit: btw everything you need to know - http://dayz.gamepedia.com/SKS - you know how to google, right? :P Edited July 9, 2014 by sm00tje Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsp167 95 Posted July 9, 2014 If you find rounds, you can load them into the SKS. (As if you were loading them one by one with in real life), if you find a clip, you can reload the weapon by presssing the reload button, instead of pressing tab and dragging the ammo onto the weapon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freethink 984 Posted July 9, 2014 strip clip is not required but if you have one you can reload more quickly by pressing 'r'(?) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irish. 4886 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Ok.. I guess either I am totally wrong or ...? In my experience the SKS will load 10 cartridges by default. You cannot hit reload if this is done, and you do not have a clip to reload with. So any reloads must be done manually by opening your inventory and dragging rounds to your SKS. If you have a stack of 20, or at least 10 rounds and the SKS is EMPTY. Simply drag the stack to the SKS, and you will see either the full 10 insert, or half of the 20 will be used. The clip is only good for fast reloads without the need to open your inventory. Besides that, they are useless to the SKS. :) Edited July 9, 2014 by lrish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should drag six bullets into the magnum and leave the speedloader in your inv then you can just press r when you are out of bullets. Putting your speedloader in when you aren't under fire loses the advantage of the speedload completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freethink 984 Posted July 9, 2014 Nobody mentioned how the right option is Load and not Chamber? Is there a chamber option with the sks? I only get it with small arms and maybe the sporter/possible the akm. Basically any weapon that requires a magazine will allow you chamber afaik. Guns like the magnum/sks/mosin don't have the chamber option, I thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously I only noticed footsteps days ago despite them being in since the beginning so I could've easily missed it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coronus 0 Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks for all the responses guys and gals. I realize my error now. It was loading 10 fully but the ammo Icon under the rifle was essentially showing only 1 bullet and that threw me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RagedDrew 209 Posted July 10, 2014 Nobody mentioned how the right option is Load and not Chamber?This, the guy clearly stated he's chambering the round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
