Stalker – weapons from the game
The plot of the game takes place in the Pripyat and Chernobyl area in 2012, after the second, much worse in its consequences, disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Taking this into account, in the game we mainly encounter weaponry used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and services under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, the Ukrainian Military sent to the area of the second Chernobyl disaster is not the only faction appearing in the game. Into the so-called "Zone" the desire to earn money, escape the law or proclaim their extreme political views was lured many shady characters, who decided to establish their factions, frequently smuggling weapons from NATO countries.

Polish, Czech, Slovak, Belarusian, Ukrainian and Russian fans of the game make the STALKER universe alive years after the release of the last part.

LARP events set in the STALKER universe are extremely popular in Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and Poland. Hundreds of players with carefully prepared cosplays of their favorite factions and props take on the roles of Stalkers, Bandits, Soldiers, etc. Armed with airsoft guns, for several days, more than once from dawn to dusk, they perform tasks, collect artifacts and fight with each other for control of the Zone.

AKMSU, AKM 74/2
The most common rifles in the game in all factions. The issued rifle of the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the fighters of "Duty" and stalkers. Equipped with a PSO-1 sight even found in Western mercenaries. Kalashnikovs in the game are one of the most reliable weapons, with the ability to be equipped with a underbarrel grenade launcher, silencer and optical sight.

VLA, Vintar BC
Special carbines for 9x39 ammunition. Mostly used by the Specnaz of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the most experienced and military stalkers. Due to the fact that real steel counterparts, i.e. WSS Vintoriez and AS Val, were used mainly by Russian, Belarusian special forces and scouts, as well as few Ukrainian units (min. Unit "Alpha" of the Security Service of Ukraine) the carbines were practically unknown. Thanks to the STALKER series of games, both constructions have practically gained worldwide fame.

IL 86
Carbine used mainly by fighters of the "Freedom" faction. Very accurate and equipped with a factory optical sight. The combustible equivalent of the IL is the L85.

The assault carbine of mercenaries, fighters of the "Monolith" and "Freedom" factions, one of the most expensive and best weapons in the game, also equipped with a factory optical sight. The real world equivalent is the G36.

FT 200M
Undoubtedly the most modern and one of the most desirable weapons in the Zone, often used by "Monolith" fighters. Perfect for long and short range combat thanks to the factory optical sight. The firepower is complemented by the factory underbarrel grenade launcher. The FN 2000 carbine was used as a reference.

Stalker for an airsoft player - experiences
Great weapon models are only a fraction of the STALKER universe. Factions with their own history, unique uniforms, equipment and politics. Deadly anomalies, terrifying mutants, precious artifacts. All this encapsulated in the gray, bleak and depressing reality of post-Soviet Chernobyl. The ever-improving STALKER LARP events perfectly capture the atmosphere of the game, practically allow you to move into this world. And escaping with a backpack full of artifacts from a mutant nimbly dodging army patrols and bandits gives you memories for years to come.
Are you ready to defend the world from the horrors of the Zone? Or do you want to get rich by entering deadly anomalies to extract artifacts?
