The Chinese Type 56 is a copy of the AK47 and not particularly sought after. The AKM is lighter than the AK47/Type 56 because it makes use of a stamped receiver (and can be identified by the ridges on the receiver cover and the use of a bakelite / plastic grip instead of a wooden one. Fallout 3 proves that China used a shortened copy of the RPD instead of an AK pattern rifle, so this gun is likely of Soviet origin
That's odd how an AK clone would weigh that much, if you can please upload this to Bethesda.net so those of us on Xbox One and PS4 can have this. Once again thank you for uploading this, you have my thanks.
Well, the weight depends upon a lot of things, though primarily the thickness of the receiver. Bethesda was very clearly inspired by THIS forum thread:
Notice the shovel-handled AK, with a PSL right next to it. That AK was actually made FROM the shovel. As such, it's made of MUCH thicker steel than a normal AK, and is MUCH heavier.
Note: to my knowledge, this is the ONLY time an AK receiver has actually been made directly from a shovel, and the only such build on the internet. It is very rare that one can identify the precise source of inspiration for a video game item, but this is one: a shovel AK, and the PSL right beside it. Scroll down on that page for more pictures of it.
Thank you for this. Much-needed. A fully-loaded real-life PSL (sniper rifle configuration) weighs approximately 10-10.5 pounds with a 10-round magazine. That's with muzzle brake. A long-barreled AK has a base weight of around 7 pounds, or 9 fully loaded with a standard 30-round magazine. Source: I own both.
PSL, for reference:

Which ones? do you mean the regular raider armor in the base game, or the gang-specific armors (Pack/Disciples/Operators) added with Nuka World? And how much do they weigh?
Yeah, I kind of rushed uploading this, it was past midnight where i live and i didn't have time to flesh it out. I'll try and take some screenshots later today of a before and after. Maybe take one to use as banner later. I've overheard about difficulties changing either the banner or thumbnail but I'll see what i can do.
