For me if I was to choose a guns above for war, no way I would have picked the Enfield. It's just to heavy and the recoil kick is stressing with the 10 rounds speed shooting like a MG. The Kar98K isn't bad. It has less recoil than the SMLE and it's WAY lighter to handle. If you own a Krag, you know what I mean with the recoil of the SMLE. The only prob with the Krag is that it's loaded 1 by 1 and not a stripper clip but with a loader box, it's fast and the bolt action is even smoother than SMLEs

@MrLolx2u - Its pretty obvious that I own & shoot all of these guns, and have duplicates of all of them too... and the Enfield is the easiest kicker of any of the fullsized WWII battle rifles I own. That you say it kicks hardest tells me your likely an XBox gun expert. The 98K is the heaviest kicker on that table, at least with the 8mm ammo I've shot for 20 years - although that little russian gun kicks pretty hard too.

KRAG?! WTF? Thats a cowboy gun! Thats effed up man, ultra noob comparison

The Lee enfield No.1 MK.3 Was defently the best WW1/WW2 gun, bigger&heavier than the MK.4, but more accurate and longer range, makes me proud to be british.

@TheBibby321 - I much prefer the peep style sights of the No.4 MkI guns myself. Probably an American thing, all of our military rifles seem to come with them, makes it easy to kill bad guys at all distances, even when drunk.

@SSAirsoftowns - stick to airsofts kid. The Soviet M44 WAS issued to troops as early as 1943 and they WERE shooting germans with them right up until the end of the war. To say the "M44 was never used in WWII" is completely and utterly incorrect.

@Bloodyvains71 - love tormenting commenters on those Zombie vids.  With my court ordered meds and house arrest, tormenting YouTubers is about the only fun I get anymore.

[spuddud19]

just wanted to let you know there are 2 different 7.62s... one is a 7.62x39 the other is a 7.62x54 which the 7.62x54 is what the mosin-nagant shoots :P i have the same mosin just wanted to add a helpful tip

[alexejnemov]

Krag made long rifles, karabines and automatics too for norway. I own 2 krag. A karabine realy light, a long rifle, k98 made into 30.06

[alexejnemov]

You need a norwegian krag jørgensen rifle too, they are nice.

I owned both the Mk.3 Lee Enfield and a Krag. Both are hard to sought for ammo but if your saying about 30.40 Krag vs .303, Krag rounds are way harder to find due to the guns not fully into production in WW2 when Germany took over the country while .303s were made everywhere in the Empire. India, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Malaya, Borneo all made .303 rounds. I often bought my .303 from Australia in the past and now I still have 10 boxes still safe and sound w/o any rust.
