    I voted for the AK and the Hellsing.

    The AK; well, because it's an AK. Perfect in every way.

    The Hellsing is the weapon I have the must fun using, and I find myself buying it in each play-through or when I repeat levels.
    It's silent, uses retrievable ammo, and it looks cool. It seems incredibly practical for the Metro-universe and suits my play-style perfectly.

    There was NOT AK 47 in the game.It was AK 74.
    Helsing is the best librarian killer.

    The knife and throwing knives were my favourites, but I don't use them all that much when playing on Ranger Hardcore, as the lack of a crosshair makes the throwing knives a little more difficult to use on moving targets, and so increases the risk of being discovered.

    The weapon I use the most is without doubt the Hellsing. It's silent (and plausibly so, being pneumatic) and does a helluva lot of damage to librarians and armoured humans - not to mention the projectiles are re-usable. I prefer not to fit a stock or suppressor to the revolver, and instead keep it as a sidearm; both due to the fact that silencers fitted to ballistic weapons are a joke, and because I like to play with the idea that I actually have to be able to carry all the weapons I use, and carrying a revolver with a stock means I'd be effectively carrying three rifles - yeah right.

    The hellsing was definately one of the coolest guns around. And the revolver was just fantastic. And a revolver shotgun... with a bayonette? Wonderful! Each weapon was great at its thing.

    But I have a soft spot for the Bastard with silencer. It just feels so cool, and reminds me of the Sten used in WWII games.

    I voted for the AK because I think it's the best-looking AK I've ever seen in a game.
    And the VSV because I like it's shooting animation, where the entire weapons is shaking and the fact that it is silent.

    Why isn't it just an 74? Anything on it that makes it an AK74M? The AK74M seems to be black on most occasions, but I guess the camo might have covered that up.

    I used the throwing knives a LOT, more than any other weapon,
    I liked the VSV, and the Tihar, So in other words i'm a stealth player

    Yeah those are difficult to use!

    I think what you use depends on what difficulty your playing on. If your on Ranger hardcore, ammo is more scarce, so youre gonna go stealth. But if your on normal or something, you have the resources to go rambo. Just my take.

    My favorite weapons in the game are the throwing knives. I play without a crosshair and I've mastered using them without the crosshair. It's very satisfying to nail someone in the side of the face with a knife with no crosshair on.

    I think the Ak is animation wise a 47, it just seams alot more powerful than the 74 would seam. would be best if they had both though.

    But the Revolver is awesome, I just like Revolvers, and that it was based off a Nagant Revolver is plain awesomeness
    The Pneumatic rifle was awesome too, loved how real it felt, and how crappy it was in firefights, made it feel so Scrap made/home made!

    I like the way the VSV looks from the side, but in first person, i like the way the AK-2012 looks.

    Yea, the Duplet was awesome fun, loved using it along with Bastard and Tihar with the first Bandit bits.

    Felt so Real with that, just shooting off into the room :D

    Also, Ak74M's are only made in black from what I know, before the 74m we had what some people call the Ak74P (First models with Polymer Grips, normally in Plum colour) and just the Ak74's

    And whats with the Kalash 2012, now we do have a Ak.12, (Ak2012) in RL, haha!

    I have a sick video of me taking out two Nazis with throwing knives without a crosshair, up close and personal - but I filmed it on my phone so in the video file the video is sideways. Wish there was a way to rotate it and save it as a new file... it is a sick kill, didn't alarm the other Nazis in the area either.
