I don’t know about @EVA_Evo but I held the Mosin and I shot the Mosin, both scoped and iron sights.
That thing kicks like a mule.

I have heard the Mosins are amongst the more uncomfortable rifles to shoot, specificly because of the recoil. Of course, it drops nazis like nobody’s business, I believe a 21st century Stalin might say “deal with it” when asked for a replacement, assuming the guy wasn’t purged immedietly that is.

Well actually even with a lever action system the Winchester M1895 still has a bolt that moves rearwards out of the gun, it’s just that (as far as I can see) the bolt doesn’t move back anywhere near as far enough to potentially hit your face when using it.
You’re confusing mechanical rate of fire (how fast you can physically operate the action) with practical rate of fire. Why on earth would you limit the ingame firerate (which is the mechanical firerate) to the practical firerate.
On a completely different note, honestly I’m not entirely sure if the M95 should have that aim retention ability either. When I watch people shoot the rifle online they seem to always lift their face at least a little while operating the bolt but I can’t tell if that’s just due to desire or habit as opposed to needing to do so. I tried to compare the rough position of their faces while aiming with how far back the bolt goes back and while it seems like maybe the bolt does go too far, it didn’t seem very conclusive either. I guess it’s understandable for the devs to err in favour of the rifle so that German teams have at least one manual action rifle which has that ability.

Yeah, sorry, that’s what I meant, I guess I was unclear. If you know your gun, you can position your head so that the bolt going backwards on the Winchester doesn’t hit your face, nor would your hand operating it do since you’re doing that underneath the gun.
