The AKS is a 7.62 mm assault rifle used by BLUFOR, OPFOR and Independent factions in ArmA 2.
Overview
The AKS is simply a modified variant of the AKM assault rifle that uses a folding stock as opposed to a fixed wooden stock. The AKS is chambered to fire the same 7.62×39 mm round as its parent weapon.
Like the AKM, it loads from 30-round curved steel magazines and has the same rate of fire and muzzle velocity.
However aside from the stock - which doesn't actually affect its handling or carrying weight, it is otherwise completely identical to the baseline AKM in every other aspect.
Camouflage
- Black: Standard black metal finish with wooden furniture.
- Gold: Gold-plated metal finish with chromed wood furniture.
Ammunition
| Base damage value | Aerodynamic friction | Initial velocity (m/s) |
|---|---|---|
| 9 | -0.00195 | 710 |
The AKS can load two types of magazines. They both take up one inventory slot:
AKM Mag.
Standard 7.62 mm curved magazine shared with the AKM. Does not contain any visible tracers.
SA58 Mag.
Intended for use with the Sa-58 rifle. Completely identical performance-wise to regular AKS/AKM magazines.
Trivia
- Just like Colonel Aziz's gold-plated .45 revolver in Operation Arrowhead, the AKS is also available in a separate variant that is exclusively wielded by Lopotev himself.
- However, Lopotev's golden-plated AKS does not have the folding stock seen on standard AKS rifles.
