this is proof that nu/k/ is full of tourists
back in the day /k/ would never shit talk the moist nugget when it was $100 bucks but now everyone has Vatnik derangement syndrome
I guarantee you the actual number of Russians that post on /k/ at this point is really low, you're basically yelling at clouds
The Nugget never did shit to deserve this anyway
Not full, it's like 50% though and they never shut the frick up about Ukraine/Russia.
Can't even have a comfy surplus thread anymore without some homosexuals screeching about some stupid bullshit then trying to derail the thread to complain that Russians exist.
the nugget was always a super cheap garbage rod with super cheap ammo, now that neither of those are true there's no reason to buy it other than historical curiosity or memes
"back in the day /k/" didn't have the option of dirt cheap AR-15s comparable in cost to a nugget

Thanks to troony jannies /k/ is dead, those reddit homosexuals who cant see a weapon made in russia start yelling vatnik and shit, this board is more dead than ever.
Love the rifle, especially the carbines, it's funny that they're still shooting at people in wars over a century later, but it's sadly no longer the "pick up for 90 bucks as a first rifle" deal.
If you love the Mosin, and specifically want a Mosin, imo it's still worth it to buy one. If I didn't already have two I'd be looking to pick one up now just to have it. It's like yeah you can get a better bolt action for a similar or lower price, but sometimes people forget that you can buy things because you like them, instead of trying to min/max everything like some fricking Korean in an MMO.
How the frick is it that Russians don't have any spare AKs lying around? how the frick did corruption get SO bad that they're forced to use fricking MOSINS???
>BIG boolit >PU Scope
It's not a bad idea to hand them out to the dudes that aren't at the front. I'm sure they're still passing out AKs to volunteers.
>but they're SNIPERS
shut the frick up and stop being a nogunz child, they're handing out the 6 MOA shitbuckets with ammo that's been in storage since 1946, and refurbished PU scopes
those aren't "snipers". They're cannon fodder conscripts being sent forward to reveal UAF positions and get cut down by elements 1/4th their size
From what I know Mosins are mostly in LNR/DPR armies, Russian officials claim they supplied them all with new proper equipment but all of it got lost in beaurocratic corruption in those states so troops never got their gear and Russians are now refusing to send more equipment other than captured stuff
It's bad, honestly. It wasn't even that well-liked by Russian army staff when it was trialed in the late 1800s.
It was a peer rifle in WW1, but by WW2, it was a single-stack rimmed-cartridge rifle with a weak locking system, a Napoleonic-style bayonet, and a barely-functional safety. The OG rifles are way too long and the carbines are much too short for the power of the cartridge. They're near-worthless for the role they're being pressed into today because they just aren't that accurate, either.
>Mosin in safe, used to punch holes in paper and deer on the weekends, with questionable ammo from 1960s Bulgaria, sold to the highest bidder when a government collapsed
MOSIN GOOD >Mosin used in modern conflict against modern opponent as weapon of last resort due to shortages of modern weapons, using same questionable ammo made in 1960s Bulgaria but somehow retained and stored following government collapse
MOSIN BAD
a pointy stick that goes boom is always appreciated, but the fact here is that the 2 strongest military in the world mass issued them for their infrantry... its ALLRIGHT when you want to arm up a small insurgency and small squads with it, but not entire fricking platoons
sovl and kino, wojak
It works.
But you can get better durr rifle for same price.
Cringe.
Inb4 vatBlack person Zaitsev cope
this is proof that nu/k/ is full of tourists
back in the day /k/ would never shit talk the moist nugget when it was $100 bucks but now everyone has Vatnik derangement syndrome
it's not 100 bucks now so there's no reason not to shittalk this piece of shit, especially since it hurts vatniks' ego

There has always been dirt cheap ARs, it's just that now vidyea kiddies buy them so they're more p[opular.
It's shit. It's been shit since the day it was conceived, but at least it was cheap. Now it's shit and expensive.

Who are you quoting?
He's a russiaboo or a shill. That's why he's so upset. I would be upset too if I had to defend a failure of this scale.
>person attacking guy defending Mosins being handed out in 2022 is a vatnik
I swear you reddit tourists get more fricking moronic by the minute
I've been on /k/ for about a decade now, lol. How taste Putin's PP?

Fun to shoot
I'm not sure but I'm guessing that at some point it's been used on every war since 1891
Why Mosin-Nagants? Did they not have any old AK47/AKM's in storage? Why would they even have those?
Pretty cranky yanky
>Fun to blast
>works almost all the time
>was great when they were less than $150 bucks
Fun gun that I wont get rid of
Good gun for the wrong war.
Good for plinking and finger fricking it in your backyard or a range.
Bad to use it in a war against a foe with modern weapons.l
>good or bad?
Good in 1890 - 1920

They had appeal when the gun and ammo was cheap. Nowadays, you might as well get something chambered in 308
barrel is a little thin
Why Mosin's though? Don't they have millions of old AKM's and SKS's just sitting in warehouses? Wouldn't those be better for rear line troops?
they wanted to appease the /k/ for their kino package
Good.
