why do people like the mosin so much?

[mr bruh]

it seems to me like its worse than the lebel and only slightly better than the 3 shot one , while being a decent bit more expensive than both , why is it the choice of most people?

[Mr. Figgles]

Some people like the iron sights better on the mosin, and it reloads faster. Lebel vs Mosin is mostly just preference. At the end of the day they're both long ammo and insanely strong.

much better reload
most people prefer the clean, thin sights of mosin compared to the thick lebel ones
slightly higher damage but it doesn't matter much - still, it's there
it used to have much better ammo supply

most of it is due to the ammo supply - people played mosin more and will probably stick with it at this point even if the supply is the same now.

although all the long ammo bolt action rifles are on the same level the mosin is the top among equals.
Why? well due to its fast reload. The lebels reload is horrible and just getting in a single bullet to top off takes a year.

winfield/officer carbine + HV is better at any range while it kills in the head with one hit, change my mind. I've never understood why everyone thinks a weapon with a low rate of fire, a small amount of ammo that is difficult to refill and limited range is OP. Who cares what damage it has - if you don't kill with the first shot, a player with the carbine will take 4 shots one of which will be a headshot and that will be the end of the story. With the constantly growing number of healing ways in this game, you'll run out of ammo faster than a single enemy's medkits. Body shots as a way to exhaust the enemy, to take out resources is almost meaningless now.
The only thing that matters is penetration. But let's be honest, how often do you kill just because you can shoot through 2+ wooden walls with long ammo? 5% of all kills? 2%? Up to 2 walls can be penetrated by a compact ammo as well, that's enough in most cases.
Yes, Mosin is a style and cool sounding, feeling of power an so on. It is a good weapon, but the compact ammo HV is better at any range up to 120-150 meters at the current state of the game.

Lebel's upside is different sight picture (some prefer it I don't) and the ability to not have to reload as much.

It however has a longer reload over all and more ammo in a magazine usually leads to a 'forgiving' mindset which leads to firing more rounds than you should which I find myself doing every time I bring a lebel because it just has so much more damn ammo before a reload is needed.

Mosin however, reloads really fast, great sight picture and doesn't allow me to just keep firing like crazy because the reload makes me stop and collect myself.

And I'm not saying I rapidly fire, just sometimes you get a target in the open and you just keep firing as much as possible before he can get behind cover.

The berthier though allows for ONE missed shot on a target and if you get 2 arm shots it means you need to make the 3rd shot count before its reloading time.

So just overall different strokes for different folks.
Mosin just feels better overall to a lot, all three are good enough to do the same job.
EDIT: Also I am pretty sure you got more ammo back with the mosin over lebel before the ammo change happened recently.... cant remember?

i wonder this myself. the price reflects the pick rate, it seems, so, people do like it.

krag is the best long repeater. doesnt need bullet grubber and 2-taps the fastest. the loss of breakpoints just isnt that big of a deal.

[Hijacked n Robbed :'(]

Some people are just using it to unlock the avto and try it out. Not everyone is a veteran.

[EmperorC3]

Mosin vs lebel is a tale as old as time. People mostly already gave the right answer, I'm just reiterating.

Biggest differences was the ammo resupply and Mosin's stripper clip reload. Smaller difference is the sight, where Mosin is generally preferred.

That said both guns are top tier.

[Collect - FDR's Wheelchair]

Mosin is just straight better than liable though not sure why you think lebel is better.

[Jester]

The missing ammo from the lebel enrages me

[Anatolius]

Lebel is hella slow to reload, with Mosin you can pop in new clip faster than Lebel would load single bullet.
Also Lebel iron sights front part is a bit too fat for my taste.

Mosin better rifle than Lebel. Ingame stats says, Lebel is shooting faster. (1.8sec for Lebel and 1.9 for Mosin). Maybe hipfire or idk. IMO Mosin is the faster one.
Mosin is my nr.1 rifle.
Depending on the situation i prefer sometimes the Krag cause of the even faster follow-up shot and with basicly no recoil.

And the Lebel Ironsight is way worse for higher ranges. I give u 2 Videos.
First Video is Lebel from ca. 180m.

Second Video is Mosin from ca. 250m.

Tell me, which kill was the easier one? With the Mosin u dont have a problem aiming at him. With the Lebel u don't really see them.

Bullet speed and weapon accuracy is why the officer carbine or any small HV ammo isn't king.
Also, small ammo is very poor for penetration, that's why I'll take a mosin over any small ammo gun.

Accuracy? All weapons have perfect accuracy when ADS, don't they? And hipfire is many times more accurate with compact ammo. Muzzle velocity is the same 600 m/s. The carbine has 520 m/s and there is no difference up to 100-150 meters. Penetration is a thing, but it affects the game much less often than rate of fire.
