What rifles do people use?

^^

Asking as I enjoy using the G43 and RSC, especially now that they have an 11x.

But at the end of the day the M1903 is just better when you have both an smg and a pistol with you as well.
I do hope the Winchester, Whenever that DLC is released Is on par with the 1903 and that maybe the current rifles could get new parts to give a better reason for use

I use the K98K and 1903 in both Champaign and Survival.

Spring, RSC and Kar

M1 carbine and K98K are my favorite rifle now. I like m1903 and G43 too. I don't like the two new British experiment rifle and smg. Thomspon and MP40 are my favorite fully automatic weapons.

Gwer, Thompson, and just earned a Luger and it stays.

Ok so each rifle has something it can do well. The m1903 is the best rifle for long range engagements due being able to reach highest bullet velocities making long range shots like a laser gun over slower slinging rifles. It also sports the fastest run speed of 119% if shortened.

The Kar98 is the highest damage rifle, reaching something around 183 damage and becoming a one shot rifle regardless of where you hit someone. Load that ♥♥♥♥ with hollow points and nothing lives even if you hit their pinky toe. It is the closest thing to an anti material sniper rifle.

The RSC french rifle is the closest you'll get to the garand in the game, while G43 packs more power and velocity and M1A Carbine is easier to control with almost no recoil. G43 and its big kicks makes using it like a battle rifle a bit tough, it's easier to use the RSC and M1A more aggressively as I noticed the G43 misses wildly if you try to fire it quickly in a panic situation.

During the campaign, I use the Kar98 as it hits the medium of high damage, good velocity, while also decently quiet.

For multiplayer I use the RSC as I can run and gun with it and snipe.

The thompson is the best suppressor friendly SMG, but the MP44 is the closest to a "assault rifle" that can work close and medium range while being great in all situations stealth or not.

The best pistol is the Po8 as it gets the highest velocities and can be quiet at 28 meters while functioning as a pocket carbine for medium distance engagements. The 1911 is better if you want something with more raw damage, but the Po8 makes the best pistol to have on hand for almost all situations close and far if you are aiming for the head.

Everyone is free to use their favorite guns and play how they want, stealth is optional.

Me waiting on a mosin DLC to relive the SE2 days.

The M1903 boasts such a vast advantage in magnification that I really don't see any reason to take anything else, unlike in the previous games where most of the rifles were much more closely balanced.

Hopefully this get addressed in the future; I had assumed the two new scopes would be stronger than x5 and x6 in Authentic for this exact reason.

If the weapon "packs" (single gun DLCs) silhouettes are anything to go by we are only getting a Winchester

[BastardSword]

I've been using the G43 for a while now, I really like that it has a decent clip size and fires pretty quickly. Yes it does have quite a lot of recoil so you can't blast away with it, but if you time your shots with the recoil you can get a lot of good shots off. With high-power weapon mods it is one shot one kill against regular troops, but takes 2 or 3 against the uber jager guys which can be a bit frustrating. I might try the Kar98k for a while and see if it's any better for survival, I just did the new DLC mission with the Kar98k and it was nice how powerful it is.

I've tried the M1903's super scope and it is nice for long-range sniping, but it isn't great for short and medium range fighting, which is pretty common in the game. Fortunately you can always switch things around at the workbenches in the middle of a campaign mission.

Well typical new Rebellion crap , they have lost the plot

[Struonger]

Kar98k for damage, M1903 Sprigfield for long range and SREM-1 for mid range.

[nakedsunoo7]

SREM-1 for covert ops and Springfield for actual sniping, going full loud, sometimes sound masking my shots.
playing around with the DeListle on the new map, feeling like sam fisher in splinter cell. HAHA

For the first season pack. They're pulling a Zombie Army 4 and doing multiple seasons to rake in the dough.

The other guns will be what looks to be a MAB.30, the HDM, and a Derringer (The novelty of suppressed weapons in this game is lost with the addition of being able to add a suppressor to every gun (minus the Webley and the PPSH)

[There You Go]

The 1903 is hands down the best overall and for long range. Unless you like to noscope and want max power/don't care about the noise in which case the K98 is pretty hard to beat for one shot kills.
