Handguards in DayZ reduce the recoil and sway of weapons, but sometimes allow other attachments such as the Universal Flashlight. Without a handguard, weapons like the AKS 74U have a higher amount of recoil/sway because it doesn't allow a handguard attachment like the AK 74 does in DayZ. Different buttstocks have different stats.

Different buttstocks have different stats.
Weapon attachments in DayZ can also impact weapon stats significantly, adding an element of customisation when selecting your weapon loadout.
DayZ Attachments vary a lot, but can be categorised into 6 different weapon attachment categories. These include Optics/Sights, Muzzles, Buttstocks, Handguards, Other and Magazines.
A single DayZ Weapon Attachment won't make much of a difference to your weapon unless it's an optic for improving weapon zeroing, or a muzzle for reducing your weapon sound.
