The old battlepass guns Pavesi M42 and Pavesi SVT both fire the powerful 8x59mm Breda cartridge which has 4,057 J of energy.
Meanwhile, the newest battle pass rifle, which is also a BR2 semi auto like the Pavesi M42, fires .276 enfield (7x60mm) which only has 3,853 J of energy.
The Pavesi M42 is a battlepass BR2 rifle just like the Kretz, fires a stronger bullet, and does significantly less damage . They should be buffed to do very slightly higher damage than the Kretz rifle.

Im into it, but it also would mean that I made a wrong choice by choosing Gold Order Scotti over Pavesi (I liked the look more)
the Kretz should be BR3 imo, its a nice gimmick that way, where you can trade a lower ammo pool for much more powerful rounds.
If you increase the damage, the rate of fire must be the same as that of the Kretz p13

lets give the gimmick to germany too because the pavesi is the PERFECT rifle for it, even better than the kretz
Fair enough, for some reason I thought the Pavesi was a 10rnd.
yes, the other pavesi rifle is 10rnd
Ngl completely forgot about it, since I normally use the SVT not the M42.
But that would be really cool then, move both up 1 BR but with the extra powerful round as well.
Your fault for not getting both, haha.
They were like the same so I wanted to spend remaining gold orders on something else xd
