Could we change the weapons to more eastern ones?

Now, most of us know that there is a back-story to the whole dayz mod, but its not revealed to anyone, so it might make sense in the light of that story to have western weapons in abundance.

BUT, all the signs are in cyrillic and the country itself (understandably) is very eastern bloc looking.

So why not have more eastern weapons instead of what we have?

How about replacing the M16/M4 versions with versions of the AK-107/AKS-74U?

And a PKM or RPK-74 instead of the M240.

Put in a Mosin-Nagant to replace the Lee-Enfield.

The saiga instead of the M1014.

The Bizon instead of the MP5 and the dragunov instead of the DMR.

Maby its just me, but it would just make more sense to me if most (if not all) of the weapons were eastern bloc weaons simply because the country still feels very eastern despite all the ruined hummvees and zombie US soldiers.

There was a western intervention in chernarus in the original arma thats why there should be western weapons too. It kinda goes with the story. But I wouldnt mind more eastern weapons without the need to replace existing ones.

Oh I definitely would like to see a Mosin-Nagant, or even use one :) I dont think they should change or remove the current asset of weapons, but I would love to see more weapons. I believe someone even made a M1 Garand, and I really hope that it will be added soon.

Its not that i mind the fact that there are western weapons in the mod... its the apparant lack of eastern ones that i dislike.

Even if there was a western intervetnion, there would still be alot of eastern weapons in the world. Not to mention that the farmers wouldnt be using western weapons anyway.
