Is the AKM more accurate than the AK74?

Food for thought....

rurif_akms.tweak:
ObjectTemplate.projectileTemplate 762_39
ObjectTemplate.keepProjectiles 5
ObjectTemplate.velocity 715

insrg_aks_74u.tweak:
ObjectTemplate.projectileTemplate 545_39
ObjectTemplate.keepProjectiles 5
ObjectTemplate.velocity 735

Not sure a velocity difference of 20 on this scale is possible to notice with the naked eye between the AKM and AK-74U unless all the shooting you do is at near DMR/sniper range distances. May be more likely to be noticeable between an M4 and AK, tho.

by contrast, the M4:

usrif_m4iron.tweak:
ObjectTemplate.projectileTemplate 556_45_r
ObjectTemplate.keepProjectiles 5
ObjectTemplate.velocity 884

I dunno man. I still feel like the AKM is just better and more accurate than the AK74. I knew the M4 was more accurate than the AK variants. But how about the M16A4?

Copy the files somewhere, crack them open, and have a look for yourself. This isn't rocket science, variable and template names use plain English words such as "velocity" or "deviation", etc.

Accurate assessment.

It's not better. It's not more accurate.

It isn't.

Runs the "Standard" deviation template, just like the AKs do.

Longer barrel, more time for spin on bullet inside the barrel. Uses more of the propellant powder up giving slightly more potential than the M4 at longer ranges. M16 looks cooler than M4.

Any gun with a shorter barrel is going to have a larger muzzle flash that would be contained inside of the barrel if it was longer.

Forget 3 round burst, just do 2 round burst while on semi-auto. You can fully control the rate of fire from semi-auto, 2,5,10 round burst or full auto dump as fast as your finger allows. Double click, double tap. It extends time pre-fire goes into room, full control of where bullet goes.
