ADD THE AK 74U TO MARAUDERS- READ BELOW

[frigid swallow]

There we are! Hope that title caught your attention. As you can see, I believe that Marauders should add an AK74U (which is a Kalashnikov pattern rifle chambered in 5.45x39) because it would be pretty interesting to have something in-between rifle and smg, besides the Krasa rifle.

It could be chambered in 7.62 ammo like Krasa or SVT 40, or a new 5.45 PDW-esque cartride with managable recoil and decent damage.

Now, I know some of you may be saying, "We shouldn't have modern guns in Marauders". A good point, but I must point out that there are weapons in Marauders that date around/past 1970(when AK74u was made), like the SVU rifle or the APS rifle, and it wouldn't be a stretch that Raiders or CE Marines would run around with AK74us, as it is affordable, concealable, and 5.45 would be relatively cheap. If they wanted to make it more "dieselpunk", simply remove the dust cover and give it a metal mag instead of bakelite- problem solved!

In conclusion, the AK 74u should be added because it fits the lore, it would increase weapon and ammo variety, and AKs are just really cool.

I'll add what I've mentioned in another thread suggesting an AK be added: #1194872450110996490 message

TLDR: AKs are cool but are in pretty much every FPS game that exist, Marauders' setting (WW1-Vietnam War era) has the potential to include any of the weird and wacky firearms that were around back then.

Also because the Krasa and K1 already fill that role of being in-between rifle and SMG, I'm not entirely sure what the 74U would bring to that table.

1. While weird and wacky firearms are prevalent in Marauders, recognizable firearms are included (like the "M16", which seems to be based off of an ar10 from what I remember, also the M1A1 carbine, MAC10 or UZI to name a few), they are in more obscure configurations, like the M1911 Stamp, which is a stamped sheet metal 1911, or the "PPSH" which has its stock and barrel cut down. Something similar could be done with the AK-74U. I have a markup i'll share below my post. 2. While I'm aware that there are other in between smg and rifle guns in game, there are only two, yet we have an inexhaustible amount of smgs, pistols, and regular rifles in game. While I do get the point that it isn't obscure enough to fit in Marauders, as it is a popular gun, changes can be made to its design, and more uncommon aftermarket mods can be implemented in its design

The PPSh in-game uses the MP Jelen, a Croatian knock off of the PPSh-41, as model because the original look of the PPSh-41 was changed since too many players of the alpha said that the game had too many weapons in WW2 style.

[frigid swallow]

You are correct, however I must point out that the MP Jelen is functionally identical- or nearly functionally identical- to the PPSH-41. I would refer to it as an obscure model/variation on the PPSH. Also, side note, there is an inaccuracy with my original markup as the sights would be attached to dust cover thus would not be on the gun, requiring a different sight to be welded onto the metal part in front of the bolt. heres how that'd look: (roughly

Now this would fit in very well between all the other heavily customized and modified weapons in Marauders.

Thank you. Lets see if we can get this added

[young oriole]

pleas bring back the PPSH-41 the new one sucks

[agile lava]

renaming the current MP-Jelen a "Custom PPSH" and bringing in the original PPSH-41 would be great. We need some more unique weapon variants

[young oriole]

ya i get that but why not have both in the game
