Assault Rifle Stereotypes | Escape From Tarkov

Lighter editing this time around as Calc 3 has been mean to me. I think this is the last of the stereotypes videos so let me know if you have any other video ideas you'd like to see.

AK-103: The latest in "нет, rifle is fine" technology RPK-16: You like unstable women

"When humans doubt God, they are considered to have independent selves...but what happens when a doll doubts its manufacturer?" "Haha, I was only joking. Did I scare you?"

[@Patrony762]

Nyet. Rifle is mine.

[@xkumanekox]

"The AKM is like a Toyota from the 80s; robust, reliable, and will probably end up in the middle east at some point". That is hilariously and historically accurate, for both of them 😂

[@taskforceshion]

The "totally not M16" is the hardest I have ever felt personally called out by anything ever. my god that was 2d12 psychological damage

[@hewhoplugwalks]

Yeah I felt that in my soul. I'm waiting for the day BSG adds the A2 and A4. A1 is a pipedream, even if I want to LARP with it.

[@adrioumario1369]

2d12 Emotionnal* damage

[@captainshiverroo1762]

@@hewhoplugwalksgod I hope it’s added, the m4a1 is good but I want a more traditional rifle.

[@jarvy251]

The AUG A1 optic is easier to use than people give it credit for and actually has an interesting perk: If you miss a shot, the reticle does not obstruct your view and so you can actually SEE the impact and adjust, it's surprisingly intuitive. It also pointfires like a dream.

[@spirit_miku]

it has huge Hight overbore issues that's why people don't like using it and then the fact it's replacement rails for optics are locked behind lvl 4 traders for what seems to be no reason, the gun its self isn't to bad but the are better alternatives but its all down to preference

[@over_qualified]

its also one of the only zoom optics that dont use dual rendering so potato computers like mine can actually use it

[@maltesers1239]

@@spirit_miku lvl 3 PK but other than that you're mostly right. I use it because I'm an AUG fanboy although less so this wipe as I've been trying out the MCX and that new ammo.

I'd also point out that many Australian service personnel are intimately familiar with the donut of death seeing as we've been using our own version of the AUG since the 80's.

LITERALLY but at the same time I'm glad he's getting more mainstream

[@Lo-118]

One big thing with the 74n is how cheap it is when crafted early wipe

[@landashua]

I seem to recall it also had slightly lower base recoil stats back in the day. I went to look it up on the Tarkov wiki to confirm and the AK-74N and AK-74 seem to now have the same base stats, but I distinctly recall the 74N being 3-5 points lower in vertical recoil before any mods. Not a huge difference, but if you're going to make the choice for a meta build, you might as well take the one that will give you the lowest stats possible for the same price.

[@Lo-118]

@@landashua i do remember that too. Which is why I used it so much and now its still a very decent gun. Craft one for like 10k and put 20k worth of mods on there and while it ain't the best or meta I don't think you can get something comparable for that cheap.

[@hewhoplugwalks]

​@@landashuaThat, and the AK-74 isn't as good for budget. You need a railed dustcover + the sight itself. The 74N just needs whatever siderail optic you're willing to use, whether it be PSO, Kobra, or the OKP-7.

[@weetang9899]

The Ash-12 Ork reference made me laugh. I love running that thing and barrel stuffing people lol

[@PobortzaPl]

For AK103 and 105 there's a 3rd option - one found in a weapon stash and just kept it for using

[@hewhoplugwalks]

The 105 is so cheap on the flea and I find them pretty much every other scav run. They've become my 'i need a cheap questing kit' gun. That, and I have more than 1,000 rounds of assorted 5.45, mostly BT and BP (thanks Woods and Reserve, much love).

[@harrypotter5121]

Tbh since the TF2 stereotypes are finished I’d honestly love to see hats and helmets of Tarkov. Hell Tarkov stereotypes is a amazing idea. “Good artists copy, Great artists steal” I see it since you’re doing a completely different game series I feel Soundsmith will never do you’re filling a void. Embrace it!

[@SnepEmperorSnow]

As a fan of the ASH-12. Yes. The faith in daka is strong.

[@Mahashma]

The ASh-12 is pure Ork WAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGGHHHH energy

[@supercreamypudding9841]

i love RPK-16 because she's the one weapon that doesnt need really much change or attachment, just buying it from Prapor or getting from killa, slap some 74's magazine and some holo/reddot and you good to go. also, i tend having a special love regarding IAR stuff like RPK-16 does here and some stuff ...

[@tonybeaumont8289]

Missed a trick by not going into the "RIFLE IS FINE" meme with the akm, but great video as always! Thanks for sharing :)

[@TheBarry1394]

AUG A1 with OG sight users are asking for a "Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker!" USEC line and defend Die Hard as a christmas movie

[@ghostedghost29]

The hat stereotypes don't sound all that bad for tarkov, and honestly, I doubt soundsmith will really care as long as you credit him. I'm sure you already know this, but he's a pretty chill guy, btw Thx you levi for another entertaining video :]

[@pyeitme508]

The AKM one is so accurate when compared to Toyota technicals (as in the Toyota War in the 1980s) even if steroeotype. XD

[@SpaceMissile]

The sound of the ASH-12 is incredible. not just that loud bark, but the casings hitting the ground... _Mmmm..._ chef's kiss👌

7:45 really hit FAAARRRR back into my childhood because that's the *exact* reason I fell in love with the G36.

The MDR jamming is so real. I don't die to a jam very often but when I do I have a MDR.

nice video, i would love to see hat stereotypes because there are so many (hats/masks etc) wich could be paired to stereotypes. I for one love running the LLCS boonie hat with my snipers.

[@Deprivazed]

I can confirm I use the Ash-12 and am mentally unstable. Except i use it unsuppressed on normal maps I also still love SA-58

If i pick a gun i will choose based on looks, feels, sounds and animations I dislike m4 and hk since they have basic animations and lack good sounds I love MK18, AXMC, G28, etc because they have godly looks, sounds, animations, everything

[@Maxio1606]

5:45 or just have an AK with "dovetail" IRL. Also most of dust covers with rails have to be mounted on rear sight base (to maintain zero) so it works as a hinge which can be annoying during gun maintenance.

"Faith in dakka," Leviticus being a warhammer fan shouldn't be surprising but here we are

Scar-L shoulda been 'when the m4 recoil so bad we used this for its slower fire rate, but now we never touch this piece of shit again'.

[@GumMonster1]

I love the AK-104. It's my favorite, as it's the closest thing we have to a 7.62x39mm AKS-47U. It needs minimal modding to be very good. Stock doesn't need to be switched out, just add the GP-25 rubber pad, AK-100 foregrip with a flashlight and vertical foregrip, maybe a new muzzle device, although the stock one is similar to AKS-74U booster muzzle device so replacing it is not necessary, a kobra mount, and a T12W 30hz thermal reflex sight you got for free from woods. The AKMS used to be my favorite. I would slap a Monstrum 2x with a rubber butt pad and a dong wooden foregrip. It works great for those long range snipes. The AK-74N used to be meta as it was the only 5.45mm AK that could have a Zhukov stock with a dovetail mount for PSO scope.

[@hewhoplugwalks]

My 104 build is literally just the DTK-1 muzzle break, GP-25 buttpad, the RS-47 handguard, a Baldrpro, and the Zenit RK-4 grip, and an OKP-7 sight. A fairly cheap build that still works like a champ.

[@spacedout1395]

Damn a Zach Hazard / MikeBurnFire reference, hell yeah

[@avramcs]

I have a love/hate relationship with the AK12. I like it because its supposed to be a modern ak, thats look sick with all the abilities of the original ak. I hate the Tarkov AK12 because they used the more common dust cover that looks more like a traditional AK as opposed to the other angular dust cover. That AND the back of the AK12 has stuff on it in tarkov that isnt there IRL which I think also makes it look more ugly. Shameeeee cause thats the only reason I like the ak12

[@Green_Sentinel_3]

I unironically use the AKMS. Love the under folding stock & I consistently get it back via insurance.

Funnily at 13:33 the SCAR-H & L were the replacements for the SA-58 (Aka the FAL or SLR) in multiple countries irl, and on a sidenote some users of the FAL/SLR/SA-58 had the Full Auto function removed, so the DMR comment on its segment in the video is valid. and technicly its not an AR its a battle rifle

" In SCAR L, L stands for Looser"

[@cburn-YT]

Idk if this got patched but the ak-101 with a higher velocity 5.56 round has a STUPIDLY high muzzle velocity thats hard to achieve with a normal long barrel AR, it then made itself a ridiculously good rifle for engaging targets way past what a Assault Rifle is supposed to be feeling more like a low recoil DMR with a 30 round mag
