Well, that's because you ruined it.

SKS  without attachments is actually pretty good gun, my favourite gun in the game atm.

Gear takes damage from bullets, zombie punches and melee hits so if you are taking down players for their stuff, it is not really a good idea to just unload on them.

Also, from my personal experience, the SKS seems to be the easiest gun to find and it isn't too bad at all. Semi-automatic, decently accurate, ammo is pretty common and it doesn't require a magazine even though having couple of them clips can make reloading a little bit faster. If you find an AKM, I wouldn't pick it up unless you have atleast one mag for it because the gun is actually easier to find than the magazines. Also I wouldn't go on fighting players with just one bullet chambered in it.

i agree with you guys and yes SKS is a good gun but i finally managed to get my hands on a mosin 9130 with a scope and to be honest, i like the mosin much more. the only disadvantage is that it only takes 5 rounds at once where as SKS takes 10

It also fires a damn lot slower.

 

I prefer the SKS to the Mosin.

Stop shooting them in the body, then. Go for head shots.

If you are after guns check piano houses (house with piano), police stations, cars (inside vehicle, on hood or roof, the UAZ/Jeep can spawn weapons on hood), red brick buildings (one with fallen refrigerator), the top floor of school buildings, roofs of some/ most buildings. That's it for most of the civilian weapon spawns, but it's you're after military loot I suggest checking police stations, school building top floors and military bases in general. If you're thinking about going to a military base remember, there are military bases in places other than airfields such as south of Pavlovo, south Zleno, there's one near Vybor, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

headshots ain't that easy to do around 100-300m or a moving target :D

 

EDIT: and when the guys is trying to shoot you too

As they should be difficult, I'm glad that is the case. Do you feel a long shot of a moving target should be easier?

 

I'm glad the difficulty is high.

 

Also, in regard to looting: Why not have the map up? That's the 'smart' thing to do, I think.

the difficulty shouldn't change as if you try to get a hit from a longer distance its more chalenging.

 

and yes i do have a map open in "shift and tab" mode as i look for cities and the road signs and them look at the map where i need to go and use a compass to se which direction i need to go :D

The compass is nice but unnecessary. You can navigate by the sun, also. Be sure to check the time of day, shown in 24hr, before entering a server.

 

In the morning, the sun will be in the South-East, in the evening it will be in the South-West.

 

What becomes easier, yet, is when you learn the map and can pick out physical landmarks and basically run to way points..

Unfortunately it takes about two shots to the center mass to drop a man wearing the usual layer of tacticool shit.

Meaning that when you're still chambering next round for the mosin, you could have at least put two rounds into your target with SKS.

but if you are going for the longer range mosin is better as you can put a scope on it (not sure if you can put it on SKS)

You can put the PU scope on both Mosin and SKS and only the long range scope on Mosin.

But hopefully very soon, you can only put the long range scope on Blaze and CR527.

Don't expect to stay alive for too long in a spot like that.

How do you recognize a 'bandit'?

well what i do is see if they are killing fresh spawns or holding someone restrained

The moment you start climbing you're an easy target for anyone with a gun who's looking into that general direction.
