Post Your Guns V3. Ak's and M4's as usual edition - General

Looks pretty good right now aside from the glossyness, will look tons better once you fix that and once it's seen some use so it gets worn a bit. And AK105s confuse me. They look to me like AKS-74Us that decided they were sick of being short so grew a longer barrel and gas tube. Does any military actually use them, or are they made for civilian use?

I thought that they were like, a combination of rifle and carbine length barrel, so it's like smack-in-the-middle length. Like how T91 barrel length is longer than M4 but shorter than M16.

Wikipedia says they're carbines but they still don't seem to make much sense to me.

I think the 105 was made to replace it

But isn't the 105 just the exact same gun but just longer How does longer = better when the rest of the gun is the same, or is the 105 is improved internally?

only ak104 is used by tacticool spetsnazz operators atm [editline]1st April 2012[/editline] i'd assume it's because the gas system is the same size as a normal ak but it has a shortened barrel

[QUOTE=the_killer24;35393929] i'd assume it's because the gas system is the same size as a normal ak but it has a shortened barrel[/QUOTE] And it's compatible with RIS systems for normal AKs.

i guess if the 105 is based off the 74m it'd be an improvement if the 74us in service are just using old 74 internals and parts, too.

[editline]2nd April 2012[/editline] I got a aimpoint and a mount too but something is wrong with the mount and it doesnt sit right on my rail so I'm going to have to return it.

Nice variety there, not a single piece from the same country.

how the fuck did they get away with such bad textures in 2008?

[QUOTE=Inafinus :3;35411007]how the fuck did they get away with such bad textures in 2008?[/QUOTE] The same way they got away with not having a full range of movement animations.

[QUOTE=Inafinus :3;35411007]how the fuck did they get away with such bad textures in 2008?[/QUOTE] That picture doesn't seem to have any normal mapping, which makes a huge difference. Game models have actually been getting less detailed over the past five years or so, as artists are realizing you can get better performance with the same visual quality if you just use a less-detailed texture map and geometry and make up for it with a ton of bump and normal mapping. Here's an example- left is pure geometry, right is normal mapped. [img]http://cienciaconciencia.org.ve/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/7.jpg[/img]

FO3 had normal maps they just weren't great, they were at like 512x512

i knew about normal mapping and stuff but even still FUCK WHY BETHESDA???

[QUOTE=venom;35412046]FO3 had normal maps they just weren't great, they were at like 512x512[/QUOTE] Yeah, I guess I didn't word it clearly, my point is that FO3 has normal maps on the objects but that picture doesn't seem to have it enabled. Like, compare that G3-looking thing to [url=http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101115124204/fallout/images/archive/a/a9/20110208190147!10mm_pistol_(Gamebryo).png]the 10mm pistol[/url]- even with the size difference there's a big difference in visual quality.
