Favourite/best rifle?

[LordCapitan32]

I'm still currently usign the Springfield which is unlocked from the start- I'm level 15 now thanks to some survival (quite new to the game still) and just wondering what rifles are people's perferences compared to their exact play style and what they find works best for them?

Thanks

I use the Mosin Nagant myself and its great. I mastered it yesterday (10/26/2018) and im still using it! Also for pistol I use the M1911 and I still use the thompson

I've done 376.2 m long shot one shot with ZH-29 on marksman (normal). Seems useable to me.

I did over 500 with this rifle it is a good all rounder for most modes of player , that good i got accused in a Multi Player Team game as having an Ammo hack lol this rifle carries 20 rounds

Damn. I have to reinstall this game soon. I were in the middle of a playthrough in February or so, but had too much to do to keep on playing it.
I've forgotten every mission by now, so it'll be like starting a new game.

(Guess I'll feel too cramped and locked in witount a drone and a backup team now )

It's still a damn nice game after all.

The ZH-29 is really nice. it's just the 'getting out of scope during extreme recoil, rescope, hold breath'-combo that makes it a more stressful rifle if you're laying down a few quick shots.

As long as you're used to it, almowst every weapon is great.
(And lethal one-shots are still one-shots. and you don't have to care about the recoil.)

Necro. Lookit the date.

But, I agree with you about the Russian rifle. Sure, the ROF monumentally sucks, but the zoom and stability makes it the deadliest long-range weapon in the game, making headshots at over five hundred meters a snap.

Answering this question definitively is rather subjective, as the various weapons' strengths and weaknesses would change the answer depending upon the specific scenarios in which the long guns would be deployed.

It should also be noted that USMC and US Army marksmen weren't really trained to be "snipers;" there weren't any US military sniper schools, not until the Korean war, a few years after the Allied / Axis conflict had resolved. There were designated marksmen tasked with sniping and advanced reconaissance, and such shooters were selected as being th best in their units—and most of them did NOT use scopes, for various practical and safety reasons. The shooter would use iron sights, not a scope, and he'd have a binoculars-equipped spotter companion to aid him in obtaining the most accurate firing solutions.

Some situations called for a single marksman to increase the probability of mission success, and such objectives required the most painstaking and careful use of stealth in what very often were suicide missions.

Absent from this game—that was present in Sniper Elite 3—was the need to relocate after firing a single shot in a relatively quiet environment.

Silencers on long guns were practically non-existent as well, a notable exception being the .45-caliber British De Lisle Commando carbine, requiring the use of low-velocity ammunition with the integrated sound suppression system.

Getting the rifles in this game to work IRL as they do in this fictitious scenario would require staggering amounts of fairy dust and magic wands, but that's okay. This is a game, just pure fun. Anyone wanting absolute realism would get better results stealing classified military simulators…that did not exist in the middle of the former century.

I still like the Russian gun. Real Nazi soldiers often abandoned their weapons when liberating these from fallen enemies.

I do believe that's actually Fallschirmjagergewehr (paratrooper rifle) 42. Umlaut above the "a" in jager.

depends on your taste, i liked the winchester, switched to mosin, tested carcano and now it seems like I like the springfield with the night cammo the most. On this topic I won't talk about auto snipers, because it's noobs weapons. muzzle velocity and rate of fire most important, good luck

Funny how you say auto loaders are noob weapons however rate of fire is most important and auto loaders have the highest rate of fire. Also semi autos ( aka auto loaders) are less accurate even with more zoom, less recoil is what accounts for more accuracy here. If these were real guns there would be a dozen or more other variables here for accuracy: barrel weight, overall firearm weight, warm or cold weather, type of ammo, etc are just a few. Saying semi autos are for noobs is itself a noob statement to say and an opinion. In reality they are an intermediate rifle to master.

One of the best rifles is Greta , but you cannot keep it

Noob weapons? Thank you for your wisdom and your willingness to share it with the lesser schooled masses. I like the Carcano and I have a passion for the DeLisle Carbine. But I'd suggest that everyone playing the game should find the weapon that's fun for them. Don't be constrained by those who disdain this or that weapon. But it might be wise to ask yourself why they do ... so you can become better informed.

That was posted well over a year ago and he has long since moved on. I suggest you look up the term "Gravedigger."

Intoned with hefty gravity, my friend. You could host Creep Night! Thank you for dashing my hopes of engaging this lost waif.

Forever and always on SP, Lee-Enfield .303! For covert ops, DeLisle Carbine. (Am English; Sue me!!!)

I Prefer the Kar98K mainly because you find so much ammo and in history, It did have one the longest effective ranges at 1000m when scoped correctly.
