Zubeknakov vs Maplestrike

[Captain Froggy]

So we've all had this debate before; which assault rifle should I use? Both are good in their own respects, but I personally have to say I'm partial to the Zubeknakov (a.k.a. AK-47) due to aesthetics and durability. However, they both have their own advantages and disadvantages...

Lethality:
On Hard difficulty, the Maplestrike takes: ONE shot to the head for a Sprinter, TWO shots to the head for Crawlers and normal Zombies, and 11-13 shots to the head for Mega Zombies (11 if he is facing away from you, 13 if he's facing you). No matter what range you are at, this will not change.
On Hard difficulty, the Zubeknakov takes: ONE shot to the head for a Sprinter, TWO shots to the head for Crawlers and normal Zombies, 11-13 shots to the head for Mega Zombies (11 if he is facing away from you, 13 if he's facing you). No matter what range you are at, this will not change.
I believe it takes 2 shots to the head to kill a player in rapid succession on any difficulty, but really, if you headshot someone with either one of them, they'd probably bleed out before they had a chance to heal up.

Accuracy:
Maplestrike: accurate up to *about 30-40 yards (* meaning "guessing," I didn't take the time to use the Rangefinder). At above 40 yards, you are lucky to hit anything at all with it.
Zubeknakov: accurate up to *about 25-35 yards (* means guessing again). It starts to drop off at about 25 yards, so it will be difficult but not impossible to shoot even up to 40. Highly inaccurate at longer ranges, but still good enough for mid-range.

But seriously though, who's going to be shooting an assault rifle past 25 yards? At that range, you might as well use a hunting rifle or a sniper rifle (Sportshot and Sneyperskya come to mind). You'll be lucky to even hit your target with either of the guns, so why bother? They're both just about as accurate, the Zubeknakov just barely coming short.

Durability:
After firing 200 rounds into the Maplestrike that started at 86%, it was already down to 43%. That's not good, but it's not bad.
The Zubeknakov, however, fired 150 rounds and started at 85%, and by that time it had lowered down to 70%. You could shoot 2 times as much ammo before you got to the durability level the Maplestrike was at 200, that could be 400 or more before you even need to worry about it. Now that's durable!

Rarity:
Maplestrikes themselves are much more common in spawn rates, as are their magazines, suppressors, and ammo crates. However, they only spawn in 3 locations on the PEI map, which are all towards the more extreme ends of the map.
Zubeknakovs, magazines, ranger ammo, and ranger suppressors are much rarer in terms of the spawn rate/chance, but they can spawn in a number of locations more widespread across the PEI map. The Militia Bunker on Holman Isle, the Bank in Alberton, the Radio Tower at Pirate Cave, and the sunken Yellow Submarine between Stratford and Belfast Airport are just a few. Plus, you can find the awesome Matamorez (my favorite gun) in the same locations where the Zubeknakovs spawn, as well as the common 7x scope for early long-range combat

Overall:
DRAW! Seriously though, I can't honestly tell you which one is better because they are both situational. Like all other good weapons in video games, certain weapons and/or their counterparts are good depending on the situation. If you already have a bunch of Military Ammo, or are right next to a Military location, maybe you should keep that Maplestrike. If you live on Holman Isle or visit it frequently, you can stash up on Ranger Ammo and become a Russian Militia Rebel! If you are going to need an accurate shooter, go with the Maple. If you need something that's gonna last a while before you have to worry about spending the time to repair it, get a Zubeknakov. Situationally, they can be good or bad, but it's really up to you which one to use.

(Personally, I go Zubeknakov all day every day because I love AKs, but don't let my opinion sway you).

Pretty good comparison. I like the maplestrike a bit better because of its common spawn rate at military locations, and its range. I usually dont use it as a sniper, but if i just found one then i usually just make a scope from binoculars and slap it on there.

[Doy Man]

Even though its not on the list, my fav is eaglefire cause of its accuracy and i dont really use auto very much so the lack of it doesnt bother me.

[Doy Man]

Matamorez is second fav

[mr. usual]

I prefer Eaglefire as well lol.

[mr. usual]

I dont really like Matamorez though, I perfer Timberwolf.

[shadow realm]

I prefer zubek , it's lethal for zombies and humans/players .

I prefer the Zubeknakov for its durability and looks. Also the standard magazines have an extra 5 rounds (which could turn the tide in a PvP situation).

They both do same amount of damage to players, buildings, and zombies, but for some reason there's a difference on Mega Zombies. I tested some weapons and found out that you mlght as well use a Hawkhound or a Schofield on a Mega if you are going to use a rifle rifle. You can kill it in about the same amount of shots with any of the Civilian grade hunting rifles as you can the Timberwolf, which is hard to find, mags are rarer than diamonds, and Military Ammo which is also pretty uncommon as well. Matamorez is equally accurate, and comes pre-suppressed, making for better sniping because then you don't give away your position to everyone around you, even your target.

Same. That's why I use it.

They both are equally lethal, but the extra 5 rounds you get in the standard Ranger Mag is game-changing in PvP and the durability is insane, you can shoot almost 2 times the amount of ammo to even bring a Zubek to 50% as you can to bring a Maple to 0%. And neither gun starts losing their accuracy until they reach 50%, so even though the Zubek may not be accurate overall, it will stay accurate and durable longer than the Maple. But like I said, the Maple is just so much better in other aspects.

In vanilla PVP,I'd still prefer the Maplestrike (probs cuz I got a nice skin for it) as the all round accuracy and multiple fire rate it provides,and accessibility to Military drums makes it my number one choice,even in snipes.

Zubek actually isnt an ak47 mate

It's not like this is from 2015.
