Which is the Better Sniper Rifle: K98K or Mosin?

Nice parade rifles.

Our Northern Rangers still use #4 Enfields so what's your point?

What what what ??!!! No sir he was not killed by a German sniper at all. Where did you get that??

Check your information before you post it here.

Oooooopps meant to say that he killed the lucky Russian Sniper that hit him in the face. Never said he was killed though. I 'll go back and change my original post now.

Do Germans still use their halberds? Following your logic they gotta be superior to Mausers since halberds are in use by by Swiss Guards for much longer then Mausers ..

That may finally explain why the Swiss sat out that one! Lol...

Actually "White Death" was issued the Swede Sniper in the begining of the Winter War,but did not like having to lift his head high enough to use the scope. Most of his 534 documented kills came from the iron sighted M28 of Civil Guard issue,but he also liked using a Suomi. All this within a 3 month span. Oh ya,he also killed the lucky Russian Sniper that hit him in the face.

The war lasted between Nov.30th and March 13th. = 103 days.
Roughly it makes 5 kills a day every day with no break. Some days 6. It is getting dark early in winter in the North and the sun rises late. He probably had about 6-8 hours a day. Pretty tough schedule if you ask me.

According to this article (and others) he was in coma after he got shot so the story of him killing the sniper who hit him (what makes you think that it was a sniper anyway?) is doubtful.

400 meters on average. Hmm. A c-7 could do that.
I suppose at only 400 meters any rifle would do but not all soldiers would have the opportunity to act in the sniper role. Sandbags must be filled after all.
