SKS and Enfield

Riflewizard · 2011-01-21, 07:26

So i like these guns in game, both are accurate and powerful guns.
But it is just dumb that you cant reload them until they are empty.

Its an okay idea in theory, but too often what happens is you'll fire a few rounds and recede back to strike again. And you cant reload, so :
A. You give yourself away by firing until empty and reloading
B. You are forced to reload in the middle of the next ambush or contact

and both can get you killed.

This has been discussed before.
The problem with the BF2 engine is that it doesn't do different reload animations.
Though being able to reload anyway would be very nice. And all the already loaded bullets forgotten.
But this is not realistic as bullets don't just go away and this being 'Project Reality' I think we are stuck with this problem.
Arma PR will help as you can always reload even with a full mag.

You can reload any weapon as long as the mag isn't full. The SKS however, I think that's just how it works in real life, you can't reload that until the "mag" is empty. Just like the M1 Garand for example.

You forgot to factor in the chainsaw theory.

Actually you can.
The garand you can reload by pulling the cocking handle
And the SKS you can reload by swing out bottom of the Mag

It's a bit long but you see what i mean with the sks

Garand at 3:05
SKS straight after at 3:27

SKS isn't powerful, it's a peashooter that's less powerful than 5.56

lukeyu2005 · 2011-01-21, 09:10

Well it shouldn't be. it uses the 7.62 x 39 so it should share the damage stats of the AK47.
And I know as a fact that the AK47 is not weaker than 5.56

Nope, you can take out the clip from the Garand and empty the mag on the SKS anytime you want, you don't need to fire all rounds.

I find that emptying a whole mag in an enemy is the best probable solution because of the low kill ratio of the SKS. Its a miracle to kill an enemy with it.

Why not give the iron sight Enfield the same reload as the scoped? One at a time.
Or am I being a fool and this is impossible
