AK-74 more damage?

I'm being a bit pedantic here, but it's weird that the AK-74 is chambered in 7.62 and also does more damage than an AK.

Well they call magazines "clips", so. Yeah.

AK 74 should be chambered with 5.45 but I think the game's decision to use 7.62 it's done for matter of inventory simplicity, considering weight is not a factor in JA3

Edit: I must have been mistaken about the penetration. It shows "light" for the AK when I checked the merc again.

And I guess for that case, the AK (called an AK-47 in game) has a "no penetration" rating.

Just feels so weird. Probably just for balancing, but still.

Yeah I agreed, I tried to wall someone and it didn't punch through. 7.62 should punch bricks like butter.

You are right, also the MG42 is a MG3.
A MG42 is 7,92x57mm.
I think the whole calibers in this game need to be reworked/moded.
Im pretty sure, that there are more things to be updated/moded than that.
More realistic modding Parts like barrels for weapons to change the caliber would be nice.

Nothing in the game is realistic. Even the .50 caliber rifle only has medium penetration when in real life it would obliterate even level IV plates

But in real life no one would use .50 rifle in these maps. Though Barret is not a sniper rifle so it would be not realistic :)

When you examine a gun empty that is the base penetration of the weapon. Add ammo and it will change, usually. Like for the M82 it has a base of medium if you add SLAP it changes to heavy. One of the .50 ammo types actually changes it to none.

I kind of squinted in disapproval when the MG-42 was chambered in 7.62... G98 also.
No 8mm mauser. Not something to judge the game on, just something to make you squint. You know the feeling.

Yeah no 7.62x54R or 5.45x39 either. Oh well. Ammo would have been even more of a nightmare.
