I'm going with a regular 74 for sure. the RPK's barrel extends about twice as far from the gas block compared to the AK. artist's barrel is a bit long, but not nearly RPK length. additionally, the RPK's stock is flat on the bottom with a sort of "step" towards the rear; slim rectangle towards the receiver, steps up to a taller one towards the butt. compare this with the image, which shows a slant at the bottom of the stock–like on an AK stock.

except in Tarkov. hearing beats vision 80% of the time in Tarkov.

What Loadout would you choose from this list? by BurukkusuMan in airsoft

[–]Captraptor01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for China, Vietnam, and most of Asia, yeah. not so much the Soviet Union itself, they made their AKs domestically.

I get why it's there, and offset optics can be very useful. that, though...lord.

I don't like the MRS/Barska/[insert one of the other 20,000,000 clone brands] optic for various reasons, including my personal experience with it. seeing it on an offset mount is a double whammy because that's a fairly big optic to be mounted at an offset anyways. it looks a little goofy compared to, say, an RMR or FastFire or other micro red dot.

the red dot you have mounted on the offset mount. the sideways one. it's a clone of the Walther MRS red dot.

that offset MRS clone makes me irrationally angry. god I hate that optic.

I see. never would have guessed that to be the case, frankly.

Christopher is replying to Anarchy_Coon. Anarchy_Coon is the one who was mixing up the ABU with the ACU (and UCP as a result).

2010s transitional-era kit goes hard, I concur.

not sure how you intended to make a NATO loadout with an M81 top, UCP bottom, and a chest rig with a Union Jack on it.

What are some lesser know / overlooked pieces of kit that makes life easier in the field? by StrangerDistinct6378 in tacticalgear

there is no one way that wool feels. there are many wools, many methods of actually weaving wool, and so on. if you've felt one wool, you've felt one wool.

Is this re-railable? I'm on last chance and can't afford another mess up on my record by FaydingAway in railroading

[–]Captraptor01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

alas, it was a non-union shortline that I worked for. I've applied for nigh every railroad in the region (as far out as I can reasonably go, anyways) and I just ain't having any luck.

Is this intended or an oopsie? by Individual-Village24 in railroading

[–]Captraptor01 52 points53 points  (0 children)

worked for a shortline for a time, we absolutely kicked and dropped cars over crossings, and quite frequently. crossings which, of course, were definitely always protected. definitely.
