After the KOKO rifle, the content of the pass can be considered mainly for sniper rifles

I have listed the following interesting weapons and hope they can adopt them. I won’t give any examples to the Soviet Union because they already have SVD38

Firstly, the Western Allies
1.Ross Snipers


And so, the Canadians modified 500 Ross rifles into a sniper configuration using American-sourced Warner & Swasey M1913 “Musket Sight” scopes. These were 5x magnification prismatic scopes, also used by American forces on the M1903 sniper rifle and the M1909 Benet-Mercie machine guns. The scope was not very good, suffering from fogging and other issues, but it was available. The Canadian rifles were made in two batches of 250 each, one in 1915 and one in 1917. This was actually more rifles than needed, and many of them (including the two in this video) remained in Canada for training (and were used at least until 1942).

2.MAS40 Snipers


The gun uses an internal five round magazine and is loaded with a Stripper clip

Then came the German army
1.Mannlicher 1895 Snipers


This is a scarce example of an early pre-WWI Steyr Model 1895 straight pull infantry rifle that was converted into a M1895 type sniper rifle. These were manufactured from 1895 to around 1910 and were the primary rifle of the Austro-Hungarian Empire through WWI. There were very few sniper rifles produced, with most seeing service during WWI, then into the 1930s and even in the early days of WWII by the Germans. They used an off-set top mounted scope that was later adopted by the Germans for use on the WWI GEW rifles. The top of the scope is very lightly marked “Gew 17-7c”. The top of the receiver rings are fitted with a single claw front scope ring with a single locking latch rear scope ring. The right side of the front base is stamped “2244”, and the rear scope ring is marked “AZF/EAXI/2244”. It is fitted with a German rifle scope marked “Voigtlander/Braunschweig/3X” on the ocular end of the scope. This set-up was very simple and robust. The M95 has the internal box magazine, which is why they offset these scopes. The rifle has the correct late pattern tangent rear sight graduated 3-24 (300-2400 meters) and the standard blade front sight. The left side of the breech end of the barrel is stamped with serial number “9147 S”, with a faint but much larger “S” stamped on the top center section of the barrel indicating it was converted to the 8x56mm Rimmed cartridge. It is fitted with the walnut stock and handguard set with the milled barrel bands and trigger guard/box magazine and sling swivels. The left side of the stock has been renumbered to the rifle.

2.mosin nagant M/39 rifle PH sight


this sight is produced by the company Physica, 3x magnification
This is a weapon from Finland. The German army already has Somi submachine guns and M27 rifles, which can also be added to use it

3.Swedish mauser M/41 rifle
6a1fdd27df2609eaf64e8a7898a6e0c71a9a4a7b_raw
which is equipped with an AJACK scope of 4×42, I put her in because the Swedish Volunteer Corps took part in the winter war, they belong to the Finnish camp

4.SIG model U


The gun uses the same sight as K31, and the magazine should be 12 rounds

5.Danzig Gewehr 98 Zeiss 2.5 Scope

The last one is the Japanese camp
1.K31 Snipers rifle
QQ20250523-225423
QQ20250523-225403

2.W+f Bern AK44 Sniper(Imitation of STV)


3.Soviet SVD33 rifle (captured by Japan)

Please don’t. Snipers are useless to the team.

Why not? The last BP sniper rifle we had was SVD. Quite a long time ago.

I would definitely appreciate some new ones.

Not really, as long as you make a rally point before you do your sniping trip then it’s okay

I’ll take them with me at the Entertainment Bureau, but not at the Meat Grinder

Interesting ideas, when it comes to scoped versions of tech tree rifles I think that they too should be in the tech tree, UK needs more alternatives that the No.4 Mk. I (T) (P14 sniper should never have been a premium), and Mannlicher is a great alternative to the Kar98k snipers for simply being clip loaded.


The project was succesfully kept secret from the Germans, they were never even aware of the rifles existance until after the liberation of France. Giving this weapon to Germany would not just be ahistorical (GOs are by their nature a bit more flexible, but we have clear historical evidence that specificly prove they never had them), it would be more importantly a spit in the faces of the brave men (and possibly women) that successfully covered it up during the occupation.

All MAS semi-auto rifles (39, 40, 44) belong to a Free-French subfaction, and the Western Allies as a greater whole, no exceptions. This would work better as a Allied GO weapon, or tech-tree/event for future French subfaction.


I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED :sweden: :sweden: :sweden:

I’d love a Finnish subfaction in the future, then we could have Swedish volunteers (a non-insignificant number of them stayed/returned for the Continuation War as well) for “reinforcements recieved” events, which would be awsome.

So… maybe keep this card in the deck for a event squad weapon?

Foreign experimental low production (only 16 ever being made) rifle? The Swiss did sell small arms in significant quantities to Germany and/or other Axis nations, but not this one…


Hah, looks goofy, love it.


As far as I am aware these were never sold to foreign militaries…

How would Japan get their hands on a Swiss rifle in 1944?


Cool idea for when Soviet vs Japan is a thing, always thought captured weaponry should be handled through GOs or Event drops, accessible but something you have to work towards, best solution.

me likey~~

I added K31 and AK44 for Japan because the game added a SIG1930 that I don’t know how it got there. I looked online and didn’t find any historical images of the Japanese army using this submachine gun (as far as I know, the only submachine guns Japan purchased were the S1-100 and SIG1920). Currently, some Japanese weapons need Swiss weapons to fill this gap.

actually, with so many people going for back line rally hunts, having one dedicated sniper in your team that protects from nasty Paratroopers and Guerrillas can be a great help to the team - depending on the map of course…

It was apparently used by Mengjiang, a puppet state of Japan in China, so that’s the explenation. So, Japan itself never had them (at least no evidence of use outside of China), but had theoretical/plausable access to them, these others do not fit this mold.

No… no it’s not.

I’d enjoy this game much more if all of the players were assault squad spamming rushers… passive players which are usually snipers are selfish and only serve as a deterrence to the team.
