SVD Doesn't load 7N1 ammo Thread - The Armed Zone mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Title

*Edit* At least the "Lynx" version, not sure about alt or normal versions

Is that like the basic old type that the Mosin uses? The SV-98 doesn't take it either.

I think this is on obsolete ammo type that is still in the game, will check with kuba and see about it. It literally says ";7.62x54R sniper cartridge 7N1, old" old as in outdated section :p

Well the military guy who gives ammo for free in pripyat laundromat gives 7N1 ammo, that's how I noticed.

That idiot is still living in the old days, we'll see about that.

Oh $#!t, so that's how I ended up with 70 rounds of the stuff. 60 from him, and 10 from some NPC. Yeah, it was wierd. I think the Army dude gives some of this ammo along with a PKM can whenever you ask for LMG ammo. It kinda makes sense actually - In some mods, the old, original R ammo worked in Mosins and SVTs, but was deemed unsuitable for modern sniper rifles like the SVD & SVU compared to newer ammo types. Therefore, it was also used as an alternate ammo in the PKM for free throwaway shots, since they were technically the same round. Obviously, we don't have any spare ammo belts to load rounds into, so that won't work here from a realistic standpoint.

After failing to find a weapon I could put them into, I just gave up and sold them to Garry. I don't mind so much. I've got so much money, I could buy all the rounds I want, but why waste time on base 7.62x54 when I can buy more M82 rounds for my Barrett?

I think I just hit a new personal best with it - lined up and one shot 3 Dutiers with a single API-Tracer round. Never seen that before with anything but a Gauss.

I've added the 7N1 to the compatible weapons, with the next patch it should be usable with SVD, SVU, Mosin, SV98, and some others, it's the same ammo after all.

Multiple target hit and penetration is something interesting in STALKER, sadly it was never treated well in most mods. In TAZ it's much better and is visible when AP rounds are used, even an AK can penetrate walls using AP rounds. I wrote about this in the article in the ammunition section.

Yeah I also noticed it few days ago, but since I left for holidays it was left undone. 7N1 is working ammo type and it should work in all weapons that can chamber it, so next patch will have it done.

Servalion yeah the vanilla made 7.62x54mmR FMJ as ammo for Mosin and Obrez, but SVD and SVU couldn't use it. Conversely, they used 7N1 and 7N14, with 7N1 being something of an FMJ equivalent. In TAZ ammo accepting is based on chambering, so all 7.62x54mmR weapons will accept both FMJ (LPS) and 7N1. 7N1 is properly modeled as sniper round, it has 300% accuracy but rest of stats are roughly equal to FMJ (damage is slightly better), it was intended to work but was oversighted, probably because the ammo line for 7.62x54mmR weapons was based on vanilla and I forgot to add it somehow
