One off the best games ever!!!

Since the first Jagged Alliance to the new J.A WildFire, i've played all!!!

Just waiting for a Multiplayer Version!!

[LotharGR]

Right now i'm playing Jagged Alliance 2... Its truly a great game! It is also a great encyclopedia of arms from all over the world :P ( with some mistakes of course - there is no pistol that uses 7.62mm ammo :P )

7.62mm ammo? thats rifle or something!

[The Niles]

7.62 is an older type of ammunition that is still used by assault rifles like the AK47, AKM and all other derivatives. NATO standard ammunition now is 5.56.

I know all this ( i have been in the army in the past :P ) i simply said that in J.G II there is a pistol that uses such ammo ... ( don't remember the pistol though )

You're probably thinking of the Russian made Tokarev pistol, which does indeed fire 7.62mm ammo.

It just doesn't fire the 7.62(calibre) x 51mm (length) Nato ammunition we think of as "7.62" ..nor even the 7.62 x 39mm Soviet rounds (which for some reason JA2 called WP for Warsaw Pact i guess), or the 7.62 x 51mm Soviet round fired from the Dragonov (JA2 kindly, but wrongly, lets us load it with assault rifle ammo).

Instead it fires a 7.62 pistol round. Not sure of the cartridge length..but it's not as immpressive as it sounds...bullet size isn't really an issue compared to length (and hence the ammount of power in the charge).

Don't forget that most pistols now fire 9mm ammo...which sure as hell doesn't hit like 7.62 rifle. A closer example would be 7.65 x 17mm ...which is just the .32 automatic round.

Heh!

The Norwegian army uses 7.62 x 51 ammuniton! 8)

Here are the weapons I used when I was in the military.

P20 (Glock 9mm)
AG-3 (German rifle, now the standard in Norway 7,62 x 51mm)
MG-3 (German machine gun 7,62 x 51mm (belt))
RFK (Bazooka... fires AP, HE and HEAT rockets)
M 92 (Bazooka... fires a single AP rocket)
MP-5 (Small machine-gun... 9mm)

These were the weapons I used reguarly, but we had a lot more in our platoon. My standard outfit was the AG-3 and the Glock! :P
