AK Tactical Reload Animation

[Fluffywuffy]

Me and rudd were talking bout that lol. I like how it says he lives in russia in his profile and he says he plays in North East America.


One of his responses to someone asking how old he is:

that "kid" cocked his 74 (in the first vid) with the safty on.

nb OP if you wan't the bolt on the left i suggest you go and play CSS.

[youm0nt]

Hm, this thread reminds me of that thread I made about dropped magazines, lol...

[Airsoft]

also not just AK but M4/M16

[torenico]

Sure you can reload a gun like a lighting, but, if you are in the middle of the war, you are nervous, and you will reload the gun scared.. or slow..

Not so fast like the CoD4 MG's..

EDIT: Can't the charging lever be switched to the other side? That would make this animation a LOT easier to create.

You're kidding, right? I'm sorry about the rudeness, but seriously? You do realise that that the cocking handle is only to be found on one side? Been playing CS?

Only if you're running a "lightning bolt" ((linky), which I very much doubt the Malitia/insurgents would be getting hold of. And, of course, it means you have to get completely different scope mounts...

[Fluffywuffy]

Are they going to make sure they have those mods on all there ak-47s?

Kewl find though

[Cassius]

I feel rather generic animations should be shown, not something 1 in 10 soldiers would do.

Did I ever actually specify this for only the Insurgents and Militia? Don't forget, we have the professional Russian Army faction on its way.

[Fluffywuffy]

Yeh give a tactical reload for their AK-74s

Always **** the weapon under the rifle not over.

Again, regular soldiers are generally trained to keep hold of their magazines as it keeps costs down and also allows them to reload them during lulls in the fighting.

IIRC this particular method of reloading is part of the "systema" martial art practiced by Russian SF, and so I would think generally reserved for close quater operations during storms, when quick reloading is more critical than keeping hold of the magazines, and they'll probably have a chance to pick them up later anyway. As such its probably more likey to be used by MVD and FSB spetsnaz teams who specialise in counter terrorism and close quaters combat rather than the Army/GRU teams who would be encountered supporting the regular army.

I very much doubt that Russian regulars are taught this technique for reloading and even if they were, that they would use it on a regular basis.

also not just AK but M4/M16

M4's and 16's utilize a charging handle that is useable from the right or left since it is located on the rear of the upper receiver.

[WildBill1337]

actually in bf2, you throw the empty (or rather mags you remove) completely away

[Psyko]

A slow version would be nice, but after watching some of those videos, there is no way every soldier would utilise this as quickly as that, but maybe after a long time in wartime, the militia and insurgents would pick up tricks of the trade, as it were.

[gclark03]

We have a Russian officer on these forums, who might have a good answer to this question: how would the average Russian soldier reload his weapon?

[rangedReCon]

I dunno about the whole dropping the mag part, but he should **** the rifle from underneath.

[Thermis]

Here's my two cents.
1. Regular soldiers aren't going to be dropping mags in day to day operations. You either put them back in the pouch or you have a dumb bag for them.
2. As far as reload speed, only special operations units would preform fast tactical reloads like that. Your everyday soldier in a combat zone would be pretty proficient with his weapons and would get a reload in pretty quick, but not lighting fast.
3. I don't think you can call the being under fire principle into this equation because for game purposes we'd have to have constant for each soldier. On the battlefield a guy might fumble with his weapon under fire but most would fall back on their training. Which hopefully taught them to reload and fire their weapon effectively while in combat.
