N.Aaroe, I love you for those awesome new facemasks! =D

You must misundersand, the Abakan is 7000 and the AK74U is at 3300

AK74 is still more expensive, he didn't mean AK74U

Sorry, didn't see that.

The Abakan has no automatic fire mode making it less favoured by the majority and therefore less expensive. Both can use all attachments

The Abakan has a Full Auto fire mode however it fires a smaller caliber (5.45x39 mm) unlike the Ak-47 (7.62x39 mm).

Yeap AN-94 is use 5,45 x 39 mm round the same rounds use Ak-74 but what is the point of mention caliber of this gun? dxD The most important thing is that Abakan got full auto fire mod. He even got 2rd fire mode and is more advenced than Ak-74 so maybe should be more expensive?

In I Work Alone, and presumably Misery, the AN-94 doesn't/won't, because in real life the AN-94 has a rather strange automatic fire mode that no game that I know of has been able to accurately portray (it fires the first two shots in 1800RPM and all shots after in 600RPM). I'm pretty sure most games have a scripting conflict with this, so it makes more sence (to me) to just have the 1800RPM 2-round burst firing mode, rather than the 600RPM full-auto.

A different question I have for N. Aaroe is why not just make the Kobra a separate model from the AK and have it as another attachment? It doesn't seem reasonable to have AK-74s custom-fitted with the rifle and not have them be removable.

Battlefield 3 has successfully implemented the full auto/2 burst for the first two shots feature of the AN-94. And even without that feature, the AN-94 is by far a superior rifle to the AK and thus would be more expensive. Especially since full auto is not a priority in most engagements since it's only effective to around 50 meters

MGS4 has the AN-94 as well as the proper 1800/600RPM weapon system.

Uh, Stalker did portray the Abakan realistically. Vanilla ShoC, CS, CoP, all three had the funky fire mechanism thing in the Abakan, if I remember correctly.

Still, it is a rare weapon, and would still be quite expensive due to the amount of effort put into obtaining it.
The cost to make 1 Abakan is equal to the cost to make 3-4 AK-74 rifles. And it is only used by Russia, despite the Ukrainian soldiers being equipped with it.
It may not be common, or well liked, but it is still and expensive and hard to obtain weapon, therefore, it should have a price tag to match. Or at least a larger buy multiplier in trader configs than other common weapons.

I updated the price list (Ak74/Abakan)

haha it's rare until you go to the Sawmill in Zaton and encounter the Ukrainian army zombies

My fault sorry ^^

I just now got that pun.

But I think part of the reason why the 9A-91 was so attractive in the first place was that you could simply take off the scope and suddenly you've got a fantastic spec-ops carbine. The close-range character out of the three starts off with a VSK. I don't think we need to inference much more from there.

The VSK94 could be placed in either category but it really is easily handled and being a silenced light weight rifle I decided to place it in the lighter category. The specific model included is highly personalized in terms of look and feel. It's like it wants to be a close range spitter

Yeah it is pretty light elite weapon. I only hope that we will may attach PSO scope on it ;)

I'll keep the medic shaved but Pilot is often outside leaving a scar and a somewhat controlled beard. Sultan has damaged his right eye...

It has been configured to have either single shots or burst fire mode.
Also it has a sniper scope permanently attached making this m16 variant much more a sniper rifle than a assault rifle. But I understand why you ask

DMR, man. AR-15 has always been a very stable firing platform. The other thing is that it's a cool niche historical weapon to add in. This is the M16A1 variant of the rifle, which was used in the Vietnam era, and sometimes they would throw it on semi-auto and bolt a scope onto the top of it.

Nah. If you pick the Sniper class to start, your starter gear includes a bolt-action rifle in 7.62. It might not be the best thing on the planet, but you'll be punching bullets through faces from the get-go.

Agreed. Only thing is the m1891 as entry gear is without a sniper scope to accompany the rifle. As a USS sniper that scope could be the obvious goal for your initial exploration and/or trading.

Oooh, really? Damn. Snagging that scope must be important. How difficult will one be to locate? I imagine that PSO scopes and the like will be somewhat more common due to the ubiquity of the Kalashnikov, but we can't really attach one of those to something as ancient as a Mosin-Nagant, can we?

For Mosin Nagants you should have a few models. The 91/30 and the 44 carbine. The rifle uses the PU scope normally so that could be another item. Another good sidearm is the Nagant 1895 revolver it uses a 7.62x38 round and because of the way the revolver is built it can be supressed. It would be a very good old soviet weapon to throw into the game. If you're gonna make an m16 a sniper rifle you might as well throw in an AR10 (ar15 in .308)

With pricing the 91/30 in the US cost around 100USD and the nagant revolver around 120 with prices converting to rubles at 3000 and 3600ru respectively. With the weapons being more available in the zone (as a former soviet sphere area) i think they should probably be around this (given the tough economy of the zone this will offset their "availability")

It's there. Look under SMG/Carbine. The LR 300 is built as an entry-level weapon for close-quarters battle. That's why it's compact, but tough and easy enough to fire on full-auto. Thing less "M16" and more "M4". It's essentially a souped up, kickass version of the latter, which is a carbine.

TL,DR:
More realistic add-ons, stats, costs, and availability of weapons. fine-tune the later two through beta research as to player preferences.

Exactemundo (if we change 'pump-action' to 'bolt-action')

OK, cool. Was just wondering. If I run a Sniper I might want to keep one on me for ammo compatibility.

Good idea. I just did the exact same thing last night and found myself to be well equipped and didn't even have to manage two types of ammo
