If they were also good, I did not say no, but remember that the MOD38 carcano is considered the best bolt action weapon of the ww2, they were excellent rifles
The 7.35 carcanos were good, but the 6.5 had major problems.
hey I know the 6.5mm were worse than the 7.35mm, but the M1891 and M41 carcanos were excellent rifles, with ammunition that had problems, but it is undeniable that the MOD 38 is the best bolt action rifle in the world. ww2
It is very deniable they were the best. Where is this defacto list of the best? Wheres your link to this where everyone says “yep, this is number 1!”. You sound VERY biased. There isnt one that is simply the best. Some people say Enfields, some say Mausers. Some say early war Japanese arisakas for the incredible receiver strength. Personally I love the 6.5 Swedish mauser with mild recoil and incredible accuracy or the M1917 for the fantastic sights and fine trigger but again that is simply me.

What were the best and worst bolt guns of WW2? | The High Road here is an entire forum of people debating which is the best who have all shot and own many WW2 bolt action rifles. There is no one answer
With that I want to refer to the experts that I have consulted and the opinions of people who know about weapons, about their opinion that this is the rifle that would see the best performance in the vast majority, it is not an absolute winner, personally it usually goes by taste, I usually turn to expert opinions

There are many experts who say it isnt the Carcano. Are you Italian?

Not for?
The main praises about the carcano aren’t about performance, but about cost, reliability, and weight.
Just like the PPS being called the best SMG.
The problem si that early italian weapons sucks…
The base carcano aim so bad compared to the english base rifle enfield
The mp28 get murdered by the sten mk2
The RE200 guns seem to be shooting spagetie and meatballs.
The AB41 get murdered by the A13Mk2 (the italiand barely pen anywhere even at point blank range when the A13 can pen everywhere whernever he want at every ranges…
So yeah italian get better tool to fight back… LATER!!!
If you have to play 20 level with inferior gear no wonder i can do easily eevry battle as AXIS in Tunisia campain nobody want to suffer for so long
Are you high? The AB41 rapes the a13 because aphe is so much better than solid shot, so what good is being able to go through everything if you can’t do damage without being pixel perfect

IF you pen i have unloaded so many mag that gave non pen hit and other where a few shot worked but over all on 10 game only 20% of your shot pen and on those shotrs only helf of them struly deal effectiv damages… splashign the whole inside of a target is nice its better if it disable it… I prefer solid shots because when you aim you ge tthe result you expect.
The AB41 can skull fuck the gunner seat but again solid shot literally has to be pixel perfect which requires a fully maxed tank because shot dispersion can and will fuck you over
None of that is true.
yet my wion with allies is like 70% and italian is barely 40%§…
Early guns feel so fucking bads…
can we get early high ROF guns that allow to assault? reliable rifles and tanks? and fighter that dont need hundreds of roudn to hit to do anything
no. The carcanos and italians rifles are BAD they had an incredible bad precision. I have played all the campaings, and dude… carcanos bullet just dont go where it has to go. And when u hit… not a kill mostly are injured soldiers.
I don’t understand why they put the mab38/mab 38 A in the German army and not in the Italian army… the Germans only used it during the Italian invasion by the Allies and im post war.
Sure there are other types for the Italians, like the mab38/42, but during that campaign the first version was
More common.
By “that campaign” I mean the Tunisiacampaign
