I really like the mod, but I have a few problems things I want to bring up; Why is the rear sight on the FAL missing? I understand if it's removed when there's optics on it. The FAL CS that African Soldiers carry has the rear sight on it.
For the most part, I enjoy shooting guns with optics, but I just love the FAL with iron sights so much. The only other mod that introduces a FAL into the game(Uncle Jimbo's Gunpack), is a mod that overhauls every single gun in the game, and severely limits modding options for all guns. and it takes up to an hour to uninstall/reinstall because it's so massive.
I hope you can also make the SIG 550 available for the player in a future update. Keep up the great work!
Thing is, the person who made this is the same person who made Uncle Jimbo's Gunpack. I find it strongly doubtful that they intend to come back and update one of their single gun mods, especially when they've passed on updating their combined pack to someone else.
Hopefully the person updating the main gun pack and porting it to zeta will add more customization options and maybe make it a little more modular so it doesn't take so long to install. That's really about the best we can hope for, though.
A way to have the L1A1 sight on the FAL that you can develop, have it be part of the reciever, the 2 recievers, the non scope one and the scope one are different so why not have the L1A1 Iron sight attached to the reciever and get rid of the flip-up sight entirely!
I don't mean the African PMCs, I mean Diamond Dogs. And besides, why would any of the PMCs in the Angola-Zaire border region be using STG-44s? They've got quite a bit of money, so I feel like they'd be able to afford FALs, AR-15s, AR-18s (even though they're not ingame or going to be added by Jim), AKs, etc. And PMCs in Africa like ZRS and CFA probably wouldn't be using surplus s#*! anyways, they'd probably want new and cheap stuff to arm their private armies.
What do you mean "original ak-47"? Automatic rifles already were in soviet union as the semi automatic ones (yes much better than the german ones) besides the caliber and the bullet was different.
After the war, the Soviets sought to make a gun similar to the STG their enemies had used on them to great effect, it was the inspiration for the AK, obviously the AK is cooler and better but it was directly inspired by the STG.
The STG-44 has more in common with the G3 series of rifles than an AK, there was even a planned STG-45 that used the same roller delayed blowback system that the G3 would eventually use
Actually, AK-47 is more mechanically simmilar to M1 Garand, than to STG-44 and because Khalasnikov was basing his weapon on those blueprints. Khalasnikov and schmeiser (most known creator of STG) never worked together and probably never even met. Meanwhile, STG served as mother of G3 and its grandmother of MP5. But it was long and interestingly complicated development cycle named CETME. If you are interested, there is whole set of videos about CETME rifles from Forgotten Weapons.
effing armchair commentators stg44 was the first assault rifle EVER MADE which means ALL are copy of the concept especially ak it also looks almost the same
No, he's completely correct. Mikhail himself has even stated how his major inspiration for the AK was the M1 Garand. It's painfully obvious in its design and functionality beyond just the silhouette. It may share a somewhat similar silhouette to the STG, but the STG played absolutely zero role in its design. The only thing that one could argue the STG had any effect on would be the cartridge which came before the AK and therefore was not a product of the AK. Any similarity in appearance is pure coincidence and they honestly don't even look all that similar if you look at it for any length of time beyond a quick glance.
