Or just use the British faction's Hi-Power pistol. I for one want to see the FN Fal used by an OPFOR instead of a myriad of Kalashnikovs. I'd imagine they'd be fairly common in region.

'ValerioZ.[ITA wrote:;732815']Mmmm.. Interesting ... and think that the Italy send advisers in the Congo. :mrgreen:

The Army of Congo ,use weapons such as Fn FAL or Sterling or WW2 weapons.
Korobov TKB-517 ?
Type 68 ?
STG44 ?
Uzi ?
Don't think we're going to use the STG44 or the Korobov. I'm looking where I can put the others. Main assault rifle will still be the AK-74 though.

FN FAL is really missing in PR. Like the G3 it was used all over the world before the current weapon generation took over. Its sort of sad that there isnt a FAL pickup kit at least, I'd imagine there being thousands and thousands of them out there still in use.

Would be a fun project to do so the insurgent/opfor factions could have a bit more variation.

SVD would fit far better.

Yeah but these guys aren't exactly the most well trained conventional fighters out there.

As far as the Russian military doctrine is concerned, it is a sniper rifle. It's Cyrillic name (Снайперская винтовка Драгунов) translates to "Dragunov Sniper Rifle".

EDIT: Gotta love google translate. Their maps are pretty cool too

FN FAL's not commonly used in Africa, so we haven't used that.

Quite a few updates, added Support truck, SIG SG540 as Marksman, SVD as Sniper. AKS47/74 as Crewman/SpecOps.

New Design Plan uploaded. If you really have time and want to help now, please check the Design Plan, look what you like to do, and give me a PM :) Very important now are the Player Models. They are highest priority.

If anyone could help with that? (Looks at Pride, Spush, other good texturers :D )
Please have a look at this:

AK74 + UGL + Scope Reskinned
PKM Reskin
SIG SG540
Player Models
Support Truck Reskin
AKS
Congo Flags

I'd recommend dumping the idea of making an Army of Congo and instead going with a fictional African army, like the MEC - this will give you more "breathing space" for creativity instead of just throwing AKs everywhere..it will just end up being like Militia imo.
That way, they could actually have an airforce instead of 6 helicopters.
You could name it Great Africa's Army, GAA or something :)

Anyway, best of luck.

Totally agreed imo. ZZEZ nailed it.

Will porbably also help win the devs favor and help from the community modders.
