Iraqi AK-47 by Calm Terror

[miles teg 1]

Hi, on behalf of Calm Terror and the Lost Brothers mod team I'd like to present to you a cool little Ak-47 variant that hasn't been made yet.    

It's an Iraqi Ak-47 with a wooden pistol grip on the forestock as is commonly used in Iraq.   I don't know the name of this variant, but you see it all the time in pictures.

EDIT** Correction-

The original AK model is by ORCs, the gunsight is from INQ's Ak-47 in his weapons pack, and the pistol grip and .cpp coding by Calm Terror.  It has its own default ammo but is also able to use the JAM 2.0 normal and HD ammo.

Below are some real life pics and pics of the addon:

Nice to see a new AK variant, looking forward to the download. I believe it might be a Romanian version, but I might be wrong.

[miles teg 1]

Yep, I'm pretty sure it's Romanian, too.

EDIT: Romanian or not, it's some sort of AKM variant, appearently.

Its actually ORCS's rifle from their Iraqi pack and the sight pic from INQ so praise for the overall quality should go to them.

I highly recommend downloading the ORCS Iraqi pack. I hope they update it.

Calm Terror just converted it into the Romanian variant used in Iraq by modifying the muzzle to turn it into an AKM and of coarse adding the pistol grip on the forestock. The forestock pistol grip makes sense as it allows better control of the rifle in full auto mode. Much better for CQB that way.

That was CS imported model anyway. We plan to update iraqi pack, also for Soviet Era mod we did some afghans.

Btw, that's not an AKM in any way. AKM has many differents in wooden parts from AK-47 and in later versions in metal ones... Well, there are some pics:

The assumption that it was some some of an AKM was based on the muzzle-brake - it looks like this \ and not this | .

Thanks for the clarification Denorc. Yeah we figured it was a CS convert from the jpegs, but still it takes a bit of work to convert and do all the .cpp stuff so I thought it was appropriate to at least give credit to your team. ORCS is more then welcome to use this variant in any new update of your team's Iraqi pack as well as any of the arab faces from the LoBo addon pack #2. It would be awesome to see them updated to use JAM 2. The IM:UC Iraqi mod's teaser pack should be coming soon however I don't think they use the black uniforms at least not in their upcoming release.

I always liked the black uniforms in the ORCS pack.

I like this weapon i plan to include this also in our Iraqi weapons pack and from my knowledge this is the romanian AIM Assault Rifle (Pistol Mitraliera 63) which the Iraqis have purchased off.

And yes your right we won't be releasing any Fedayeen black uniformed soldiers in our teaser pack that will most probably come in the final version of our soldiers.

as i did Romak 3 in my pack, which is by many people took as SVD ;)

You forgot to say, that you used some parts of ours and inquisitor's weapons without permission. Also some infantry textures from our VDV pack.

[miles teg 1]

Yeah, I was hoping you'd use it for the IM:UC mod RTR_Commander.  Just make sure to credit in a readme ORCS for the AK-47 model, INQ for the sight, and Calm Terror for the pistol grip, barrel modification, and .cpp config editing.

I'm greatly looking forward to that Iraqi teaser pack!

Mind me asking what units are used, besides the up front BIS civilian?

Can't say it is the guerilla addon, but looks good. Ditto for the weapon.

and then civis.

but anyways back on subject on this ak. i am goin to add a few things to them like scopes and a few different things. any suggestions are welcome.

I haven't seen proof but I have heard that many insurgents in Iraq let's say have used RPG sights on their AKs before. If anything, I would use the PSO 4x24 sight on the rifle you made.

Yeah the PSO scopes are probably the most common in that area. There also however might be a bunch of cheap Chinese 4x scopes. Also I've seen video of Iraqi militants sticking cheap hunting rifle scopes on their Ak's as well. Kinda pointless due to the inaccuracy of the weapon, but at least maybe for close range sniping they might have somewhat of a chance. If they learned to sight and use their iron sights they should be able to hit a 100 or even 200 meter target consistently as well. Fortunately most of the insurgents there aren't that bright or don't maintain their weapons and do stupid stuff like use corrossive ammunition without afterwards thoroughly cleaning their barrels and receivers.

Lately however a lot of insurgents have gotten ahold of SVD and other sniper rifles and apparently a few know how to use them. While the SVD isn't a true sniper rifle, its still a reasonably accurate rifle at medium ranges and very dangerous in the right hands such as an urban sniper who doesn't do stupid stuff like shoot off of roof tops or from the ledge of a window. (The smart ones fire from inside a building so that their muzzle flash is usually undetected by counter-snipers. They also have spider holes and emergency escape routes to avoid counter fire from heavy machine guns and cannons).
