This weapon is too strong for BR1 and too weak for BR2. I suggest increasing its accuracy, reducing bullet dispersion, and moving it to BR2. Few people play BR1.

many people do, but farming newbies is bad so I support moving W1866 to BR2.

yes but with buff, m1 carbine is just better.

Sounds reasonable - well there are some gold order semis already - but those are more like pistol caliber semi auto smgs, Winchester feels like it wants to be a rifle.
Which makes me think - kinda wonder why the US didn’t deploy those kind of Winchesters during WW1?
High capacity guns surely are more suited for going into trenches? Or are lever action inherently problematic in dirty muddy environments?

I also wish M1 Carbine would get a rate of fire buff aswell, Armaguerra kills in one shot against vitality and should as such be what we look at when discussing semi auto overall power at BR2.
Winchester does take for ever to reload, so if it moves to BR2 a buff should be considered.

I think such weapons are complicated and fragile. I also don’t think a larger magazine capacity would be a useful thing in real combat, especially in World War I, most of the fighting was at long distances, at close range the bayonet was much more effective.
yes, m1 need buff.
The Winchester needs to be accurate like other bolt action weapons, to be balanced for the BR2, that terrible reload speed and low damage are enough.
