Mosin Nagant 1893/30 & SVT-40

In the airsoft world, we are all wrapped around AK's, M16's, M4's and G36's. What nobody seems to remember is that the same job you would do today with an M4 (clearing out a room full of bad people), russians did with Papashah and Mosin along with Mr. Tokarev. Everyone thinks the rate of fire is what makes a CQB weapon, when the PPSH-41 actually jumped too much. Some think that a huge gun isnt good for clearing out a room. Actually... they had knives for shit like that. amazing...
Mosin Nagant 1891/30, a combat rifle made by the Soviet Union and given to ever other soldier who would rush the shore of Stalingrad. The first man got shot, the second man picked up that rifle and use the stripper clip he was given to fight. Very similar to Call of Duty. They had to get that info from somebody, and chances are they found one or two surviving reds from that day and asked "what the hell happened?" or "why were there so many russians with pistol rounds in the back of their heads?"
If a scope was put on this, it was probably one of the best sniper rifles the Soviet Union ever put out before they realized that semi-auto is the way to go and built the Dragunov SVD, SVDk and SVU. This is probably one of the cooler rifles, though you dont have to pay a thousand for it. they have the shorter versions of this rifle for half the price. For airsoft, the shorter versions are probably better.


the SVT-40 happens to be a rifle not issued to the entire Soviet Army. it was kinda complex.
I haven't located an airsoft version yet, but when I do I'll post it.
