What is the worth of an AKM?

Recommended Posts

If one wanted to trade so they could get an AKM, what would you guys think a worthy trade is?

And even better if you included how much each magazine was worth.

Thanks!

According to: http://www.dayzwiki....Weapons<br />It is uncommon.

So I'd say not much.

A less vague answer would be very appreciated. I know it's an Uncommon gun, and it spawns everywhere.

Unless you come back and give a decent answer, thanks for nothing.

One hay penny. The only thing to give them value is the distance you'd have to travel with one. Theyre picked up at the fire stations dropped when they find a better gun and cycled out in stary/NWAF. What ever anyone would trade for it isn't worth the inconvenience.

The AKM is like an automatic enfield, so it's not really worth anything since all it does is attract every zombie in a 10 mile radius, you'd be better off with something like an AKS-74U Kobra or a standard AK-74.

All these answers are obvious. I'm very aware of the volume of the shots, I don't even wield my main weapon when in towns, or even shoot for that matter. I just like it for it's PvP reliability (from past experience, and opinion). I'm saying, if you had one, what would you want for it?

Maybe a CZ or a basic AK.

What do you mean worth? As in trading?

Yes, I said trade twice in my original post...

Again, anything worth the gun isn't worth the inconvinience of me moving it. Anything worth moving is worth shit tons more than the gun. You cant get anything done for less than the pre agreed upon "Currency". Ghillies l85s nvgs Range finders gps and so forth.

In a strange way, it's too common to be cheap.

I would trade an AKM for a M1014 or a Remington, All three guns are effective and have their advantages but each has some sort of a flaw making them of equal value to me. But that's just how I would value them and trade them.

Thank you, finally a straight answer. I do wish that something easier could be done about it, though, like food being severely reduced, so that it would be a valuable trade item...

People are saying "nothing" I think. They aren't failing to answer you they just don't think its worth anything. Its like asking to trade an a double barreled shotgun, its not the most practical gun and its very common = no interest/no value.

Well on my server (private one with like 15-25 regular players), all guns are picked clean due to there being enormous faction battles and lots of killing, and even the most common guns are hard to come by...

No unfortunatly. Nothing short of stary or shooting someone in cherno will get you one i dont think. You picked a weird gun to like. If you gotta have an AK, Kobra would be easier. Even still i haven't seen someone trading those in a minute.

Maybe trade with someone on that server? Is it possible for you to join another server and gear up on that?

Nope, Private servers have private hives, meaning the gear only saves on that one server.

Well if there are a lot of faction wars on your server then most players would be looking for guns that are good at taking out other players and maybe not as good against zombies so things like the noise and low rarity of the gun might be irrelevant to some of the players on your server. The AKM is actually extremely useful against other players since it has a decent fire rate, high power and accuracy and common ammo, but someone would probably trade it away for a 5.56mm rifle or a AKS-74U Kobra. Snipers would also be a good trade for an AKM, the CZ is relatively easy to find (for a sniper) and is effective enough for a player to want to trade it for an AKM.

Honestly though the value of a gun is ultimately decided by each player, some people will want a lot for one gun where others would give it away for free.

AKM is phenomenal. All about who's hands it's in. Two rounds is all it takes in most cases to bring anyone down. On top of that, plenty of ammo.

Trade it for no less than whatever's more tactically applicable.
