Mosin-Nagant M91

The M1891/30 Mosin Nagant (or simply M91/30) is a variant of the Soviet Russian Mosin Nagant bolt-action rifle. It was designed in 1930 and was the standard issue bolt-action rifle for Soviet infantry from 1930 to 1945. After World War II and the introduction of more sophisticated bolt-action rifles, the M91/30 was sold throughout other communist countries such as China, North Korea, Vietnam and other states of the USSR. Many were used as sniper rifles later on.

Appearances in Battlefield
The M91/30 appears in Battlefield Vietnam.

Battlefield Vietnam
The M91/30 is issued uniquely to the Viet Cong Scout kit. It features a 4x scope meant for long range engagements. It is a generally very powerful rifle, being capable of killing in 2 body shots or in a single head shot. It is also very accurate, being highly capable of shooting a target that is over 200-300 meters away. When it comes to close quarters situations, the small cross hairs can be very effective for no-scoping shots, but it is still recommended to switch to a pistol. It can somewhat be considered an equivalent to the USMC M40.

Trivia

 * In Battlefield Vietnam, the bolt handle is curved and is on the left side of the rifle while most M1891/30 rifles had straight bolt handles and were on the right side of the rifle.
