Weapon Variants of Iconic Weaponry

[coldestwinter]

This post is my response to this post:

Weapon Variants you Want

Unlike other shooters this game doesn’t have an extensive weapon customization system but has variants of weapons that are individual pieces of content….and I think that’s fine. Hey it’s good for content. Rechambers, different models, magazines, attachments, etc What variants of weapons would you like to see added to the game. Plus guns that aren’t in this game yet….but do have assorted variants. Famous and well known, prototype and experimental, they all count

I enjoy collecting variants of iconic ww2 weapons, especially Thompsons, MP40s, Stens, STGs, and PPshs. Below is a list of weapon variants for these weapons I would like to see.

Yes, I included the weird curved barrel guns. Are they at all practical? No. Would they be fun to try to use? Yes.

PPSH variants:

Detachable Stock PPSH

PPSH-45 (not sure if it was made before war ended)

PPsh-2 with folding stock

Scoped PPSH (night vision)

PPsh Curved

PPsh with Kobchenko Magazine

Extended STG/MKb family of weapons

Today I’ll be showing you some STG/MKb related weaponry / variants that can be added in the game. *Note: I will be adding pre-existing guns but they are ofcourse have a different modification added *Disclaimer: I will not attempt to classify these in BRs as these classifications are temporary and pointless MKB42(W) Different stock - Chambered : 7.92x33mm Kurz | Firing Modes : Full-Auto Noteable features: different stock, Open bolt [image] MKB42(H) Prototype 1 - Chambered : 7.92x33mm Kurz …

STG/MKB ^^^

Extended Garand Family of Weapons

Here I’ll place some guns developed by Garand that isn’t added to the game as of the time being and it would be nice if the devs considered to add some of these weapons Garand Light Carbine - Chambered : .30 cal | Firing Modes : Semi-Auto [image] [image] Primer Actuated Rifle (semi auto springfield) - Chambered : .30-06 | Firing Modes : Semi Auto [image] T3E1 Rifle - Chambered : .276 | Firing Modes : Semi Auto [image] [image] T20E2 Rifle - Chambered : .30-06 | Firing Modes : Select …

Garand ^^^

Scoped PPSH (night vision)

Is that an actual ww 2 night vision setup? I thought those setups were alot bigger. Looks a bit more modern?

[Willcario]

get this ppsh some viagra, oh my gosh

[coldestwinter]

My source says its from 1943. Can’t truly confirm it though.

“it is equipped with a night vision scope. Probably the image lacks the IR spotlight and the batteries – something descriptive for the first night vision designs of the late war era. Some sources say that the model designation of the scope was Ts-3”

Rare and Experimental Versions of Soviet PPSh Submachine Gun -

[coldestwinter]

Those are some awesome garands.

This is terrifying, I’m not sure I want this in the game lol

[Veekay45]

This looks as fake as it can get, if you are familiar with PPSh rate of fire and recoil.

@coldestwinter

STG45 kurz with folding stock

Looks weird, I want it!

Update: nvm its most likely post war.

@coldestwinter

STG45 kurz with folding stock

I have researched about this particular weapon in the past and sadly it is a post war Swiss prototype.

Caveat Emptor - StG45 Prototype

But there are more StG variants:

[Valkay]

Ehhh, other variants don’t have Mp40 folding stock. I don’t care for another reskin.
Shame that its a Swiss gun, actual German StG would have StG magazine.

@coldestwinter

STG45 kurz with folding stock

This one is most likely fake you can understand by 2 things it doesn’t use STG 44 mag which mean it uses an other mag and making a new mag in 1945 Germany is kinda not possible and second thing it doesn’t have stock while there are STG variants without stock all were made after war since it would require major redesign of gun since recoil spring goes through stock that means this gun is entirely different gun structure wise to STG and I don’t think 1945 Germany even thought about redesigning STG to be SMG and then setting production lines simply put producing STG was more cheaper than making a new gun

[SzepWaxweiler]

I’m not on my pc so I can’t look at the list I have but here are some stuff
For Lahti-26 (75 round)

For Bren 100 round

Bar in 40 round

AVT 40 with ls-26mag

AVT 40 with normal 25 round mag

And drum mag AVT 40

[Adamnpee]

I do want it.

[coldestwinter]

darn, thanks for sharing the other variants though!

[coldestwinter]

Maybe if it was limited somehow, as event/premium/gold.

[coldestwinter]

Here is the same system on a mosin. There is an infrared projector needed to make the scope work, just like the other night vision systems of the era. Still, as an obscure soviet project I can’t confirm if it 100% exists.

Other attempts night vision systems for soviet tankers for use in the bt-7 and t-34-85.

[Veekay45]

I’m no Ian McCollum but it sure looks like
a) the spare casings would be hitting this huge sight when flying up


b) the bolt going back and forth at 900 RPM just undernead that top cover would make any attempts at aiming with optics installed without any picattini rails simply futile

I don’t know what your shooting experience is, I’ve only recently started shooting with SVD, AR-15 and Mosin Nagant Sniper and this just looks ridiculous and unpractical.

The source I’ve found is a 1998 Russian magazine and in 1998 you could find anything in Russian magazines, it was basically mad max fury road out here.
