thank you joejaxx for finding me a video, a russian documentary on the mosin nagants.

 

in it, what caught my attention, all the M91's, and up, were designed to be shot with a bayonet on, even if it is a removable one. Without it, the harmonics are completely off, the trajectory changes, and the rifles will shoot to the side.

For that reason, they were all using bayo's, and never removed.

It's the way it's supposed to be shot.

I'm not a commie and even I knew that. Russian doctorine, advance or be shot. Run out of ammo and stab away.

very true - try + find a pre wwII russian bayonet scabbard -

that was pretty cool even with the sound off .

 

i think spotted a HOOKED QUILLION Bayonet

hey, it was me that sent that to you last night!!!!!!

I heard this some time ago and witnessed it as being the case...until I got my Mosin. I was setting up at the bench on my first range trip and another shooter came by to see what I had. I was putting on the bayonet in preparation for shooting and mentioned it was designed to be zeroed with the bayonet mounted. He asked what year it was and I told him 1943. He said I didn't need the bayonet. I figured I'd show him and shot a group at 100 yds without the bayonet. Dead on. Shot groups with two more different kinds of ammo. All dead on. Later on shot with the bayonet and the groups were a bit off as I'd expect from a M1 or a Mauser with a bayonet.

 

Just mentioning this as I guess nothing is absolute and apparently this guy knew something about Mosins.

would have been nice if it had subtitles or dubbed like chinese martial arts movies. lol

Nce. But they didn't go into the details about M38 and M44. I wudve like to hear about them as well. And also more about sniper ver.

They briefly talked about the snipers in a few regards.

 

They made as many snipers as they could, and would focus mostly on snipers. Everyone was trained on Mosin's, even though other weapons systems were avail.

 

The guns were designed to be weapons 3 ways..

1. Fire- the ammunition.

2. Stabbing with a bayo.

3. Hitting with the end of the butt-stock.

 

And my apologies, it was USNMars that sent it. =P brain fart.
