How do you play with the sks?

[reiga]

Me and my friends use all the guns,we can play any but except the sks,we always loose a fight beacuse 1 of us has the sks and cannot land a single bullet,with the sway and without it,is there any tips we could get to use the sks ?

[dstroy]

please what? sks is one of my fav weapons and I think its so easy to kill someone in close or mid range.

Simple. Point & Click. Done.

too much sway, too much kick, not enough power. Not good enough of a gun to be picked up atall i think, but if you wanna gitgud with it, make a shooting range and get used to the kick.

Yes.
How many hits do you need with a 7.62*39 over say, 400-500m(the distance 7.62*39 is good on). Four or five, from a 10 round clip that's about 50% of your ammocap that you need to bring on target. Fairly high amount I think. With an akm you need to hit the same amount but you have much bigger mags and better scopes.

As a dmr the sks is the worst option. The other ones both deliver more damage over the same distance, higher bulletspeed and a higher ammocap and have better optics.

For the ammotype it kinda shares the same spot with the carbine, both being outperformed by the akm.

Now granted it's stronger than an ak47 but you can only compare it to other guns that share the same ammo or the same purpose.

Aim?

The SKS is not a "spray and pray" type of gun...

Unlike the M4 and AUG... where it takes no skill to hit someome.

I wouldn't call it no skill, but you can spray more with them.

Would just like to drop in my two cents here and say that the SKS is an amazing weapon. 3 shots above the waist anywhere (including arm shots) will uncon a player past 700 meters. From 500-700 it only takes two chest shots, and anywhere below 500 meters the shock damage is high enough to uncon them in one hit. Waist/Leg shots do not provide an accurate measurement of the guns reliability. It has an insane fire rate, making it amazing in CQC, as well as spot on accuracy which completely negates the need to zero for anyone under 400 meters, and pretty intense power behind each shot. It's only real downside is the recoil, but even then it's not the worst in the game in that regard. I mean, have you ever used an SVD? That thing kicks three miles into the sky after each trigger pull. Each weapon must be learned, just be patient. With the insane abundance of SKSs and their respective ammo in this patch, that would not be a bad gun to master. Personally, it's the first gun I always pick up and find ammo for as a freshie before moving to anything else. Won tons of firefights against automatics with the thing, just depends on your playstyle and patience.

It takes ( about ) the same ammount of bullets to kill someone in all three guns...

With the SKS... you have less ammo to make the same bullets count.

So they actually have to hit their target...

Not be sprayed in an "click the mouse and move it in a X pattern" in the vicinity of the person hoping you get some on the target....

Just saying.

I actually treat the guns like they're meant to be treated.
More than 30m range? Tap it, wait for it to recenter, tap. And at lower, I'll just hipfire.
Depending on the situation of course.

I'm not just going to hold left mouse, that's just a retarded thing to do.

And I wouldn't exactly call the SKS low ammo, you can do a lot with 10 bullets, and not to mention it reloads quite fast (If you've got the ammo hotbared.)

Why are you taking this personally?... I don't remember naming you as doing these things...

People do it... and for the reasons I gave... end of replies.

I didn't take it personally, I'm just saying it's what I do.
