"No it's my great great grandfather's..."

Imagine how proud Mosin and Nagant would feel if they found that their rifle was being used for one hundred years

We can say a lot of stuff.
It still fires a 7.62×54mmr bullet. Accurately.
Thing hits like a freight train

Mosin with night vision is peak pre apocalyptic weapon kit

They saw how effective they were in Escape from Tarkov and decided to break them back out.

It doesn't matter who old it is, if it can put a pumpkin sized hole in someone it works

[youcanseeme]

they should issue those troops period correct uniform too for the aesthetic

I have a Mosin and it's super reliable, I have a 1903, lee Enfield, and a kar98k that were all made in the time period including the Mosin and out of all of them even after doing a very thorough deep clean the Mosin is the only one that has never jammed or gotten stuck while firing, if I had to choose to take one out of the 4 to take into battle the Mosin would be a very tempting choice

"You guys didn't have any spare AKM's for these guys?"

"Nyet, 3-Line Rifle is fine"

[diplodocus]

You see Ivan, when you make gun out of wood you can plant a piece into ground to grow more mosin, much like potato.

[Justadonkey]

Firing a rifle like this makes you much more careful about your shots, no blind firing spray and pray

[Grodstark]

If it works, why change it? A mosin takes lives just as good as any other weapon.

[igorino]

"Noo! You can't use a 90 years old rifle in modern combat!"
"Bullet is bullet"

[drumhailer]

Because they are extremely accurate and well made

[ivanzamora]

Seeing all the different soldiers with different weapons feels like a video game. Different levels of infantry.

[impcec]

When they said, “rifle is fine, ” they meant it.

[StacyBaldwin-qvcj]

The nagant is a damn good rifle, no matter how old it is.

[nathaniel]

That rifle is very accurate, it beat the Germans.
