That's interesting, never head about this before. The more you know i suppose.

That has a reason actually! When the AK-12 first came out, it did use 5.45mm magazine models while still shooting 7.62x39; in a later update, the magazine models were changed to reflect the caliber, but the icons stayed

Random thing i just noticed that isn't directly related to this mod, but the vanilla ak-12 icon clearly has 5.45mm mag, not a 7.62mm. Again, not directly related to the mod but still kinda interesting.

yes, apex dlc

Remind me - does it require DLC to use it properly?

sadly i can only define one suppressor class and i think its better if thats the real 5.45 one so that its compatible with the actually fitting suppressors.
if you want suppressors for them, its better to use a mod like RHSAFRF

would there be a way to add suppressors to this for right now? maybe give it the ability to mount the 7.62 or 5.56 or even the 6.5mm suppressors until you make the 5.45 suppressors?

Completely understandable! No problem! Have a nice day as well!

Hi, thanks for the suggestion! Sadly I cant really work on mods because im very busy with college. As for your idea, I tried that back then, unfortunately, 5.56 magazines are modeled very weirdly in the shared-magazine system of Arma and clip through any weapon through the top. Same with the MX sadly. Hope that helps! Have a nice day.

Hi there! Curious to ask if it would be possible to add the AK-12 in 5.56 version? Maybe compatible with the stanag mags from RHSUSAF if possible? Thank you!

Sure! Thanks for asking!

Hey dude! Howdy? I'm in love with your mods and aws wondering if I could use your files for my faction pack? Of course the right credits will be given you alongside with the links!

Bohemia Interactive should have added AK 12 as 5.45 and AK 15 as 7.62x39. AK 12 chambered as 7.62x39 suck, 5x45 is better.

An AK in 5.56mm NATO could be nice to resemble the polish wz. 96 "Beryl"

I actually tried that but it never worked properly. Im not home right now but ill try again once i am, thanks for the reminder!

Hey btw you can use the config viewer to get the file paths for the arsenal icons without being restricted by the dreaded EBOs. Basically just grab the base game rifle in the virtual arsenal, press try then once you load in in the escape menu there should be a config button in like the bottom middle. If you go in there you can look in the bottom left you can see things like the gun your holding, the mag you have, and other things. Just double click the rifle ID and you can scroll through and find the picture attribute that should have the file path to the proper icon

I've got 15+ ideas on my list including a 5.56 AK, but I'm not sure how I will do it. Stanag mags clip through the magazine well of the AKs so I will have to make new magazines which isn't difficult but I will have to reuse the 5.45 magazine models for it
in short: Yes, I plan to do a 5.56 AK, but I can't say when

Thank you, may we expect an AK-19 in the future?

I named the 5.45 RPK "RPK-16" like the one based on the AK-400 to differentiate it from the 7.62 ones
I didn't touch the vanilla AKs at all, no renames and such to ensure compatibility with any other mods that change something with the AKs

Does it rename the 7.62 AK-12 to AK-15, which would be the correct name?

I was also wondering if you had renamed the RPK-12, as the RPK-12 as we have it in game is directly based on the rejected AK-12 prototype based on the AK-200.

The RPK-12 did exist in 5.45 as we see it in game, but only as non-functionning mock-up, so its historical significance is in question.

Those are just questions to satisfy my curiosity, I can completely understand if this is not the case.

That's cool then!

I've done all of these myself, but just like mine the Aegis AK-12s are only vanilla AK-12s with a 5.45 magazine, so both me and Aegis only reused vanilla assets

Isn't all this stuff took from Arma 3 Aegis and Atlas mods?

thank you very much!

muzzle velocity is way higher compared to the 7.62 AK-12, so effective range is therefore also increased. And yes, you can put it in your units' pack, just be so kind and make the pack private/unlisted if its only for your unit

has the effective distance been modified? also would it be ok if i can repack it into an unmonetized modpack for a unit?

good job
