ALPHA AK....
Uses a 5.45 magazine, and the 3d model of the bullet in the magazine is a 5.45x39mm..... states it shoots 7.62x39.... wtf happened to "realism"???

The model in the game is a 7.62x39 and the magazine, at least for me, looks like some old AK´s with that caliber... Looking at bullets on the mag, i cant tell if its correct or not.
oh noes, based on your observation , im uninstalling this game. and throwing my pc in a fire. thank you Insanity for your generous observation. don't know what i would do without people like you.

It also has two front sights...the fixed FSP and front BUIS. They kinda messed up the alpha lol

You're in the wrong game for realism.

Not all bakelite magazines are 5.45x39mm; the one in game uses a 6L10 magazine, which loads 7.62x39mm cartridges.

Either way, this isn't game breaking - it's a graphical oversight. Don't get your panties in a twist because the magazine *might* be wrong.

I've noticed not all bakelite magazines are 5.45x39. But the one in the alpha magazine is chambered in 5.45 as it does not have that much of a curve as a 7.62x39 magazine, and the bullet model itself is a 5.45x39mm bullet. Trust me.

There are much more complicated realistic mechanics in this game, this feels like an un-intended oversight.

AKS-74U is chambered in 5.45x39mm... this is the same exact bullet as the alpha ak...

Notice the larger caliber ^^^What the alpha ak should be using.

alpha ak looks to be using a 5.45x39mm chambered bakelite magazine.

Exact curvature of the aks-74u chambered in 5.45x39....

Notice the larger curve because of the larger caliber.... 7.62x39mm...

So now we can agree that this 100% is a discrepancy, a minor one at that.... but as a kalashnikov lover like myself, this sh*t grinds my gears to no end....

Thank you. Doesn't hurt to have a good eye and be knowledgeable on fire arms.

I'm pointing out a flaw. and it's a legit flaw. So accept it and move on.
