Screenshots

Please do not crop the screenshots. --Funkychinaman (talk) 09:06, 8 June 2013 (EDT)

I should clarify, if we had a choice between a cropped screenshot and an uncropped screenshot, we'd go for the uncropped. If you want to reupload your images as new files rather than overwriting the existing ones, that'd be fine. --Funkychinaman (talk) 09:24, 8 June 2013 (EDT)

Hello, DJ von CAHEK! I'm sorry, I have some question: you uploaded many good quality screenshots for still not exist game "World of Guns: Gun Disassembly".

May I puts it on discussion page, for somebody will available using it later? Pyramid Silent (talk) 10:47, 29 May 2016 (EDT)

Yes, please. I still have plenty of screens, but I'm too lazy to upload them. I'll do it soon. DJ_von_CAHEK (talk) 11:49, 12 June 2016 (EDT)

Oh by the way, I have a .txt file with, like, 15-20 weapons with links, screens and stuff. So in case we DO create the page, I'll paste it there. DJ_von_CAHEK (talk) 11:52, 12 June 2016 (EDT)

Thank you very much! Pyramid Silent (talk) 11:59, 12 June 2016 (EDT)

Here. Pyramid Silent (talk) 12:38, 12 June 2016 (EDT)

Many thanks for your effort. I'll combine my stuff with yours. DJ_von_CAHEK (talk) 16:36, 12 June 2016 (EDT)

Your experiences with the AKS-74U

Why was it so difficult for you to use the AKS-74U accurately? Was the rifling in the barrel worn out in the one you used? Did they force you to fire it in full-auto mode even though semiautomatic fire would be much easier to control? I would think that being a Soviet-designed weapon (and the Soviets were no slouches when it came to making their weapons effective) it would be designed to be easy to use well. --Mazryonh (talk) 17:13, 27 May 2021 (EDT)

Well, sorry for the very late reply, but my biggest issue with the AKSU's performance is that we did the exact same exercises as with the full-sized AK-74M, targets at 400 meter distance and all. Then again, the rifles were old, so add wear to the mixture. DJ_von_CAHEK (talk) 10:55, 2 July 2022 (EDT)

Hmm, sounds like you got to use worn-out guns that might have been used extensively in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. A CQB exercise might have been better suited for the AKS-74u. Did you ever get to try any Russian guns in 9x39mm caliber? --Mazryonh (talk) 18:12, 3 July 2022 (EDT)

I was a tank driver, so I didn't have as much luck as my classmate claims to have had, having somehow served in recon, spetsnaz, and airborne, training with all sorts of weaponry he doesn't even remember the names of. We had regular AK-74Ms in the training center when we technically were considered infantry. In the "battle unit" we were issued the AKSU's which is standard issue for tank crews. They are indeed old, clumsy, and almost entirely useless. DJ_von_CAHEK (talk) 08:12, 4 July 2022 (EDT)

Do Russian helicopter pilots also get AKS-74us? I can see where an AKS-74u wouldn't be very useful for a tank crew. You'd be very hard-pressed to use one of those to effectively return fire against infantry trying to shoot at you after bailing out of a tank disabled (if not outright destroyed) by an ATGM, which can have very long ranges. --Mazryonh (talk) 18:07, 5 July 2022 (EDT)
