andrestander 10 Posted July 2, 2012 The AK-74 is the replacement for the AKM and its successor as on wikipedia. It also uses a different cartridge and has a lower recoil and a higher muzzle velocity. I don't get why do people insist that the AKM is a better option than the AK-74 then. Since arma is a milsim, what's good in real life should be good in arma too, right? In Dayz, the AKM kills zeds in 1 shot to the body while the AK-74 takes 2 shots to the body to kill it. Is that how rocket wanted to balance the game or it's just arma accounting for the larger cartridge the AKM fires? I also read in the ACE mod changelog that vanilla arma doesn't account for the rifling of the barrels, would this affect the AK-74 against the AKM somehow? How do I truly find out which rifle is better than the other in arma? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted July 2, 2012 Erm... AKM caliber = 7.62 AK74 caliber = 5.45 Pointless thread is pointless....closing. :EDITH: How do I truly find out which rifle is better than the other in arma? Wikipedia would be a start at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
