SKS/Vietnam

The Type-56 is issued as an option for the Heavy Assault and Scout kits of the NVA and Viet Cong factions. It has a 10-round magazine, a relatively high firecap, high recoil and good damage. It can usually kill in 2-3 rounds to the body and extremities, or a single head shot. Its high recoil can make long-range shooting difficult, but prone reduces the recoil to a more controllable level. It has a fairly high rate of fire and is, therefore, effective at close ranges, although its small magazine capacity can be a hindrance to combat effectiveness, and its reload time is relatively long. Compared to its counterpart, the M14 rifle, it has a much higher firecap, but is at a disadvantage in accuracy.
