sks with optics + RPK

[808-SLUGGO]

tried searching didnt come up with anything

lack of optic weapons makes playing insurgents quite deppresing sometimes so what if the Devs threw in a scoped sks pick-up kit

so wadda ya think?

with the dragunov taken out of game i only think its fair the insurgents should have at least some sort of scoped semiauto rifle

also ive seen pics of the RPK remodled (i think it was R-mod Dylans work im not sure tho) and was wondering if their were plans for it to be included ingame

[Maxfragg]

i actually think that its more likely that the dragunov will come back in 0.8

the dragonuv really needs to make a comeback, real life insurgents use them in droves. same goes for the rpk, why this isnt included is beyond me. even if they just use the vanilla version. an RPD would be really awesome as well.

well its not the svd, it the kalshiv (something like that) A cheap version of the svd, and a reskin would be nice too.

Scoped sks are very rare from what I hear, and need an actual part to be changed out in the rifle in order to be mounted.

Rarity isn't really a problem in the PR mod. Just think of how rare the Militia PPsh is in real life!

The scoped SKS would be a useful weapon alongside the SVD - remember that Insurgents don't standardize their weapon caches, but find anything that can kill the enemy, thereby increasing their virgin count in the afterlife.

I endorse all be-scoped weapons.

I think that would be a great argument for adding it to the militia faction, but the insurgents already have (or at least had) better scoped weapons then a scoped SKS.

[SuperTimo]

yeah they had a scoped RPG

[Ghost1800]

that's not what I meant, but yes you're right.

Yeah, the SVD is coming back apparently as the MEC is being awarded a new Marksman rifle. I too am puzzled why the RPK isn't mixed in with the PKM at insurgent RP Caches or even given to the Militia. Oh well.

But an RPD? That had me going back to the days of Rainbow Six Three: Ravenshield. The RPD is an older style weapon and it fires using a cloth belt fed mechanism, compared to the more modern disintegrating metallic belt fed links.

Would also like to mention that the man pictured in this video displays some very nice weapon control.
