AK-12 6.5 mm Variant

This mod adds seperate variants of the AK-12 rifles that use the 6.5x39 mm cartridge. Also included are 6.5 mm versions of the AKU-12 and RPK-12. The AK-Rifles are called AK-24 and the LMG is called RPK-26. All weapons from this addon can take both MX and Promet 6.5 mm magazines. These weapons gain their advantage in the form of increased muzzle velocity compared to the MX and Promet at the cost of weight while still being accurate.

Content

- AK-24 (Assault Rifle)
- AK-24 GL (Assault Rifle with Grenade Launcher)
- AKU-24 (Carbine)
- RPK-26 (Light Support Weapon)
All weapons are available in black, lush and arid color variants.

Disclaimer

All variants of the AK-24 will have the default AK-12 icon in the Arsenal and inventory, but will have their respective skins ingame. This is because Bohemia hasn't unlocked the Contact DLC files yet for me to make custom icons but I will probably update them once the EBOs are unlocked.

Compatibility

All weapons can take any modded magazines that can be used by the MX and Promet. As for attachments, some mods will work, some don't, I may add more compatiblity in the future (RHS works!)

Language

The weapons are mostly translated to every available language of Arma 3 with the only exception being the arid and lush variants which are only available in English, German, Spanish and French. I will add the other languages once BI unlocks the Contact EBOs.

Weapon Statistics

Stats are mostly the same as the 7.62 AK-12, only recoil and muzzle velocity have been adjusted to reflect the 6.5 mm cartridge. The AK-24 also weighs less because of this. Below are the weight (units) and muzzle velocities (m/s), the recoil is similar to the MX:
- AK-24: 135 Units, 880 m/s
- AK-24 GL: 155 Units, 880 m/s
- AKU-24: 105 Units, 800 m/s
- RPK-26: 155 Units, 920 m/s

Want to have a specific weapon in a specific caliber? Just tell me in the comments and I'll put it on my project list!
