If this is true, and if someone makes an Ak-74 in their spare time(I would LOVE to learn to start modelling but A. No free time and B. no money for 3DSMax.)then perhaps the Afghani OPFOR, could have more Ak-74's than 47's and the Iraqi's can have atleast 1 pickup Ak-74(I looked, I couldn't find any Iraqi Ak-74's, but you never know) The reason I didn't say the Militia is because that when I look at the Militia, I see them more or less as a modern version of the 1960's Soviet Army(Ak-47's T-62's RPG-7's etc.)Plus the Militia have tanks and apc's, giving them a highly accurate and deadly weapon(the 5.45x39mm round is known as "Russia's Poisen Bullet")would give them a high advantage against conventional armies in ground to ground fights.
The only sources that count are named and linked sources. As for modeling programs, somewhere in EODs Blackwater Faction thread is a link to a 3d modeling program someone posted for me, use that, it's quite nice.

Fantastic explanation, utter ****, WOW so wheres your ak model? You know for a comparison.

Next time before posting about how crappy something is you need to realize that this mod gets done by people in there free time. We don't get paid for this. There are allot of things that aren't in the game that should be.

And if you did a little searching, took me 1 minute, you would see that someone has took the initiative and a at least working on a M variant.

And before you say anything, suggestions are welcomed but the way you presented kinda insults the team, maybe go back and rewrite/rethink your comments.
No offense intended to the PR team. The AK-47/AKM model is a Vanilla model and yes it is utter ****, its an embarrasment to Kalashnikov.

Now as for me producing my own, I have zero modeling skills only texturing skills, otherwise I would have carefully modeled and submitted one by now.

Is there any possible way to maybe use the AK-47 model from the IDF mod as that one is quite superb.


By the way on a side note, where did the SKS model come from?. It is excellent in every way.
I own a Yugo M59, (first model) with no gren launcher just like the one in game and it is identical. The report is nearly the same in game as well.

I'v always said that my SKS does not Bang, its more of a Bark :-P .

The only thing wrong noticed with the sks is that when the bolt is released after reloading it is not a loud clunk sound. Letting that heavy spring loaded bolt fly closed on an sks is quite noisy, like someone hitting a piece of steel with a hammer.

That is of course very minor and just a little tidbit suggested for future realism.


EDIT: heres another thought. What is the possiblilty of being able to import Fan made models from mods for Say the game STALKER.
If they gave permission of course?.

Heres is picture of a good AKM model made recently with the slanted muzzel and all: http://smages.com/19/5f/195fef55e28c0c0 ... 80.jpg.htm
