WTF is going on? Why are Russian soldiers using rifles invented in the 1890s and famous from WWII? Bolt action niggers. How did it come to this? Doesn't Russia have millions of AKs in storage?
>inb4 snipers
No scopes and these dudes are not exactly giving off that SOF vibe...that's for sure. Love the antique helmets too.

Russian DRN Forces Equipped with Mosin Bolt-Action Rifles

>the famous Russian army is literally using Mosin–Nagant rifles with iron sights.
Name ONE (1) thing more pathetic than this.
Joseph Ward
That's a WW2 helmet as well.
Jace Howard
Nicholas Hill
Russia clearly spent too much time reading nugget posts on /k/ and bought into the meme
Nathaniel Lopez
I fucking hate garbage rods. Sloppy dogshit action, miserable to load, terrible sights.
Eli Myers
>Lawless wild west of Donbas
>Literal IRL bandit shit going down
>Give some old guys some Mosins and radios so they can play neighbourhood watch.
Isaac Murphy
This probably does not change their combat effectiveness at all.
Samuel Gray
Those are Donetsk Republic soldiers, not Russians. As horribly as the Donetsk Republic treats its soldiers, they aren't sending them to the front with un-scoped Mosins. Those are reservists basically doing police work in already captured territory not frontline soldiers.
Brandon Clark
The exact same reason why USSR kept mass producing Mosins instead of completely switching to SVT-40's
Retards waste too much ammo and can accidentally kill one of their own or a civilian, with a bolt action rifle you're gonna be 100% you are ready to shoot someone that's why they give them to reservists

The guards of the storage have a family to feed

(You) Elsa. Thanks for gracing my thread with your presence though and keeping it bumped with bait (You)s.
Adrian Thomas
Drn is not Russian, it's Ukrainian and pro Russian, they use what they have.
Jeremiah Davis
>DNR Forces
You answered your question dumb nigger
Anthony Bell
They aren't important anyway their only purpose is to bait hohols. Also, they want independence so they better work for it.
Jayden Lewis
guy's gone full cucumber

7.62×54mmR / 7.62 NATO can defeat modern body armor, and if used intelligently they could still by highly effective.
Joseph Morris
>accidentally kill one of their own or a civvie
Ah, yes, accidentally.

EVERY SURPLUS RIFLE WITH BOLT ACTION IS CHEAP SOME TIME IN HISTORY. MOSIN NAGANT RIFLE IS MOST NUMEROUS OF ALL INFANTRY RIFLE. IT IS RIFLE THAT WINS OCTOBER REVOLUTION. IT IS RIFLE THAT CARRIES INFANTRY OF ALLIED FORCES IN EUROPE THROUGH GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR. MOSIN NAGANT RIFLE SERVES FOR MORE THAN CENTURY, OLD STOLEN RUSSIAN RECEIVER IS STILL USE BY SNIPER OF FINNISH ARMY.
YOU CAN BE HAPPY WITH 40,000 ROUBLE RIFLE WITH NO HISTORY AND PLASTIC STOCK WHO KILLS PAPER TARGET AND DEER WITH NO WEAPON OR FIGHTING HEART.
I CAN BE HAPPY WITH 2,000 ROUBLE RIFLE THAT IS ARTIFACT OF MILITARY HISTORY AND KILLS TSARIST AND NAZI ALIKE.
JOY OF HAVING MOSIN NAGANT RIFLE IS JOY THAT MONEY CANNOT AFFORD.
Wyatt Lewis
as the west collapses thanks to Zionist Terrorism, things will get really bad in Israel. China will string them along and then conquer them
Henry Lee
Of course not. The unencrypted chink radios are useful in deception operations against the holhols too. Trust the plan.
Like there's a fucking difference. And they don't look like they're doing "police work". Thanks for the cope excuse though.
Angel Wright
I thought Russia cranked out AK's during the entire cold war? Isn't it the most produced rifle ever made? I heard a figure somewhere that they have like 30 million AK's in reserve with billions of rounds of ammo.
How could they possibly be running out so soon?
Ayden Parker
But this is an active duty Russian soldier, and yes, that's a mosin on his back.
Isaac Hall
AKs were stored in military warehouses, all of them got raided since 2014 when the war starved, Mosins on the other hand are far more common amongst civilians
Juan Jenkins
Why don't you equip them better like we do the holhols? They're fighting on your side but you let them be cheap cannon fodder. Is this how Russia treats its brothers? Or is it just so poor that these weapons are all you have?
Evan Mitchell
>giving it free (you)s
>STILL
please ask your mothers if its not too late for an abortion
Blake Reyes
the mosin isn't a bad gun. If the plan is to keep the reservist from the front, this makes them more effective at range. It's no different than deer hunters with a 308, an effective weapon in halfway trained hands
Kevin Sullivan
you, faggot kys
Charles Hughes
I think this user may be correct.He's from an ex-commie country so he probably knows how it works. A lot of Russian weapons and ammo storage has been heavily "grazed".
Jayden Stewart
Hi I’m not Elsa, give me the (you)’s instead
Mason Sanchez
>No scopes
Looking closely, they have a scope. Given they dont have much in terms of optics, makes sense to use these rifles.
Joseph Martinez
Not my problem
Christopher Sanders
Your shriveled tranny "cock"
Aaron Perry
see
you faggot retards
Asher Lopez
>Looking closely, they have a scope
post screencap then. i don't see any scopes on any of the rifles.
Luke Clark
Here, have a (you) instead. Your poor, fatherless nigger ass could use it.
Jeremiah Powell
Time tested rifle, it will be around another hundred years I bet.
