Work in progress of the Vektor R4
Have ypu watched the forgotten weapons video about the R4 R5 and R6 if not its a good video to explain the basic difference between the sa version and the real galil
@Dr. NUGGETS I have and am using it as a point of reference while modeling. Thank goodness for that video of his because it is making it far easier to get things right. Albeit I am only making the R4 modifications afterwards as I am currently modeling the standard Galil since the first batch of R4's were identical to it. I will then make the later R4 variant with the polymer handguard and other modifications unique to the R4 and R5.
Won't be making the R6 as it was not issued to the SADF and SANDF AFAIK.
Ok cool will you be keeping the bipods ?
Or adding at a later stage aswell ?
For the R4 yes
Yeah but the Lm 5's did
LM 5's are single shot civilian versions I believe?
Yes they are but i was just saying that most of them had the bipods
Seeing as some of them were converted R4's
I'll look into it. Wouldn't be a problem keeping the bipods on the R5's
But yeah the models are looking really really good
Cheers man. I'm keen to see it in Squad I wonder how they will perform against the AK's and M4's
Well seeing as its basically an akm I'll think they'll do pretty good
Lower calibre though so less recoil than the AKM
Ahh wait brainfart i was thinking of the 5.56 ak
Don't know what its called tho just now the ruskys had one
AK74 is in 5.56
Yeah that one lol
No scopes for any of the factions though so that's going to be very interesting
Kind of like a bridge between Post Scriptum and Squad.
Shorter engagement distances etc
Thick bush is also going to be a factor.
Ooh i really can't wait
Are there gonna be a R4 lmg like the RPK ? With the 50 round mags ?
Yes
