akm is kinda trash and it shouldn't be

[PeshSlayer]

i shoot enemies in the head with m4 with acog and they die. i do the same with ak and my bullets magically do no damage at all, or just apparently don't exist. i don't understand. i'm talking about NPC like basically standing still as well. not crazy pvp action or anything like that where it would possibly be a skill issue. wtf is going on?

I only play with AKM and never have issues. Of course sometimes it's not one shot it depends but all in all it's a good weapon.

Also, PVE can be a skill issue too if you don't know where to shoot. Only head is not always doing anything when they have gear

[PeshSlayer]

bro what about when im shooting at npc that has no helmet? im aiming right on their head and they dont die, i dont understand.

Not a helmet on earth will save you from a 7.62 rnd directly to the dome.

you have to get ps ammo for it

yep. both akm and ak74 are trash if compared to ar15 (m4). i use ak74m with 7n6 (5.45x39) and typical fmj - AI takes tons of shots. doesn't matter where to shoot: head, torso, arms, legs. If i shoot with m4 m192 bullets - all die one shot. in arms and legs sometimes 3 shots. and the level IIIA armor get no damage from AK (both) and very damaged with m4 m192. U can see it on dead bodies. Ak47 with its 7.62 can hit only naked torso. lol.

and yes, helmets do not protect against rifle ammo. can only bounce if hit from side.

also 5.56 and 5.45 rds are generally 2-3x faster.

dude why should ammo matter if an npc is not even wearing a helmet?? wtf is going on here i know where my shots are going. like i've played arma since i've been in diapers and tarkov since the first year it was released. yet i still don't know if it's me or the game. idk what is going on when i use the ak, but when i use m4 it's flawless.

so with the ak-47 sights, i've noticed throughout the years shooting ak's with many different guys, and playing lots of games my whole life that represented the ak, there are many different philosophies/perspectives on how they zero their ak irons. Or, rather, how they interpret the sights in general. For example, my ol' man and i actually had a debate when he kept calling them "open peep sights" i asked into it and he says "you want the front post in the middle of the circle, but the top is cut off so you just gotta put it in the middle there... kind of like: if the letter U can be your back iron sights on the ak (visually, here, in Ascii) turn it to the side and lets use C .... now he wants to put your enemies head and front post here: G where the horizontal line is pointing. Like IN THERE dude. Like putting an egg in a basket.. I was always like... "dude no. your target sits RIGHT ON TOP OF THE U like in Ü you feel me????

so in THIS GAME i've KINDA NOTICED that youve gotta aim the ak like my DAD and put the FREAKING TARGET DEEP IN THE C YA FEEL ME? MORE LIKE G AIM LIKE A "G"

BASICALLY AIM KINDA LOW

makes total sense man, ak trajectory is pretty flat though up to around 100 yards from where you are aiming. i've shot ak's and ar-15 irl for a while myself with some very knowledgeable people. idk man im just trying to understand how ak's in grayzone work. because they are not really working for me compared to 5.56 rifles in the game.

[PeshSlayer]

i've actually just noticed that the ak shoots low while using a spectre at less than 50m. watching bullet marks shooting at the wall in HQ. and on top of that it shoots either left or right of the reticle. it's the game. it is just terribly FALSE when it comes to ak's. devs need to fix that ♥♥♥♥ right away. who the ♥♥♥♥ thinks a soldier gonna have their gun shooting low and to the left at 50m to 100m. it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ absurd.

[Romeos]

Dude, relax. I bet u using some mount for your not native AK scope (like vudu, specter, asog, xps etc). Take a look at your scope position - it is way higher than the barrel is. Try native AK scope like PK etc and you'll see it is ok. It is meant to be so, as you try to mount foreign scope on the AK with mount. You just have to keep it in mind and thats is. And it is 50m only. Just spray the hell out at enemy :D

Diamond Age Bastion with Up-Armor plate can absorb 7.62x39 FMJ/Ball ammo with "nominal" backface deformation. Can also soak 5.56x39 7N10, 5.56x45 M855 (green tip), and M193 (FMJ), if you don't believe me the information is available on their Website. All rounds were tested at full velocity & 0 degrees obliquity.

bro i should not have to guess and aim high and to the right while using an acog or spectr on an ak man. i like the one taps ya feel? and this is kinda fake.

yes you have. it is tactical game, not a counter-strike. there lots more things you have to "guess" in this game, but I could tell better - you have to know a lot of things before you engage a fight. I will write a small article in my next thread with my observations, guesses and conlusions, which might help lots of people.

[PeshSlayer]

dude, counter-strike or not, anyone gonna sight their scope so your bullets are going where your crosshair is. unless wind exists in the game and actually effects bullet trajectory. is there something im not aware of?
