I created a demonstration to showcase how to correctly reload the Mosin rifles and single load all other bolt actions.
Here’s more footage of different reload animations:

Needed.
We need to discuss the straight pull and lever action cartridge extraction animation next. I refuse to believe that pulling the gun down to your waist is necessary to extract a bullet and cock the striker when aiming. New straight pull and lever action vid next?

I don’t own a Mannlicher M1895 or Winchester M1895
It’s not, but it’s easier and faster in my experience to bring the rifle down to the hip because the mosin bolt is “cock on open” meaning that the weapon is cocked when you pull the bolt up, doing this requires about 15 pounds of force and bracing the rifle against you body at hip level helps cock the rifle much faster, it’s also a good habbit to always pull the gun down to cock because the only way to load the rifle with a clip is at hip or under sholder level.
If I had a Mannlicher M95 or Winchester M1895 R, then I’d do it, but unfortunately I don’t have them.

Amazing, there’s no reason why the game shouldn’t include these details

Very cool demonstration, thank you.

Have you tried with a straight pull or lever action as well?
Ross MKIII is a straight pull as well. You thought about buying any straight pulls or lever actions.

Does a .22lr straight pull count? I’ve cocked lever actions at gun stores and you can do it while aiming with no issues as a matter of fact maybe gaijin will let us do this https://youtu.be/n68PJM5bazM?si=d1mGN2nommV9kEyw
If I’m going to buy a straight pull it’s either going to be a Mannlicher M95, Swiss K11, or Swiss K31 but those rifles are expensive as hell due to their quality and scarcity, I got my near mint condition 1942 M91/30 for 150 dollars at a gun store and I still don’t know why, my Sporterized M44 was $500 from a private seller, it’s all about luck and chance if you’ll be offered a good price.
As for lever actions I don’t want one unless it’s a Uberti 1866 Yellowboy chambered in 44-40, a Russian contract Winchester M1895, or a Winchester M1887. But to answer your question, aiming a level action is the most convenient way to cock the rifle.

Maybe, but the time of the extract for a .22 cartridge is probably shorter than 7.62 or 7.92 because of the size difference.
But at this point, I don’t even care if they add slower extraction speed for the lever actions and straight pulls; I am just tired of my sight being pulled down because my soldier can’t extract a round while aiming, even though the design of the guns specifically allows you to do this.
What an impeccable taste in guns my good sir.
The guy who sold the M91/30 to you was probably in trouble for taxes, lol. But you should get a Ross Rifle; they are pretty smooth.
I believe it.

You mean the M44? No the reason they sold it for 500 is because that’s the average price for an M44 online
A fine taste you have.
Also seeing IRL you was quite a shock, I expected a nerdy teen after your posts, please have my apologies and respect.

I meant this one.
I think it was just because they probably thought since the gun was so old it had no value, but yet again the same store had a Finnish Mosin for $700 a few years back.

Are they nerfing the fire rates with them?

No, but I wouldn’t care if they would as long as I can keep my gun aimed while extracting around.
That half reload with the clip is pretty good, also how do you confuse a Mosin Nagant for a SVT40?
- There both loaded with Mosin stripper clips.
- They both have the same stock ergonomics, SVT-40 even has the same channel for fingers as the Mosin.
- They both weigh the same (SVT-40 is slightly lighter)
And every time i pick up my Mosin i think about SVT-40

SVT40 is loaded with mags
In real life they used Mosin clips since extra mags were a luxury

Militaries were addicted to stripper clips back then and treated magazines as part of the gun.
