Stu.

That would be assuming that they're using equivalent powders. The .303 which was developed 1889, uses slower burning powders than the smaller .308, which was developed in 1952. Surprisingly, the 308 actually possesses a slightly larger case capacity.

I'm not sure why the .303 has a mystique on these forums. The .308 is capable of withstanding higher chamber pressures, and has superior performance, in addition to a more compact and mechanically forgiving package (Not rimmed). Pales next to many of it's contemporaries (7.62x54r, 8mm Mauser, and the .30-06 Springfield) while out performing a few (6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano, and the 7.7 Arisaka).

That said, I love the No4 in game, I cannot wait to play with it on a populated server.. But if I chose to own an Enfield, it would either be in .308 or .45ACP

I always wondered about that

I think the Lee is only effective with good ping. Seems like every time i used the militant unscoped one i get two impressions. one side of me loves it because i can dispatch people easily even if they are wearing armour vests. and another side of me wishes i could hit enemys that are moving more effectivly. and i dont know if im right but half the time (or more) it feels like the server isnt communicating properly and my projectiles are WAY off. that being said, its very good on low ping.

Haha, yeh, just so the people who dont havent figured that one out, the Lee Enfield is from FH2, so thank you to them

Perhaps all our minds could be put to rest if someone could post the weapon/projectile values of the No.4 and say an M16 and G3 to compare??

guys, personally... I think enfield sucks, its more realistic to add a mosin nagant, now that is a real rifle and it is found worldwide, the enfield is not a good weapon for insurgents coz hm insurgents using british weapons? wouldnt it b better to use a mosin?

How much research did you do before making that post? Is it measured in hours, minutes, or seconds? Compare that to the research that PR's military advisors do.

first things first, Im a gun entusiast and hmmm funny thing... the mosin is my favorite rifle so hmmm lets say I know something about it.

u wanted research well then research should be had...


ok FIRSTH POINT. There are about 17 million enfields and about 37 millions of mosin nagant, so I guess the chances of finding a mosing over an enfield are pretty good.... if u dont think that is true google it...


SECOND POINT. The mosin is cheaper
Enfield; No4 Mk1* .303 Enfield by Savage US Property Marked - Auction: 9157687 (Ends 06/14/2009, 19:35:37 PST)
No.1 Mks III 2A-1 .308 10 shot magazine - Auction: 9148506 (Ends 06/03/2009, 12:01:56 PST)

Mosin; MODEL 91-30 7X6.2X54R CAL. - Auction: 9101327 (Ends 06/04/2009, 10:50:22 PST)
Russian Mosin-Nagant M91/30 7.62x54Rmm - Auction: 9143458 (Ends 06/04/2009, 07:05:22 PST)
(and that is nothing, Ive seen em for under 90 bucks in great condition)


THIRD POINT. Lets c put ureself in the shoes of whoever is suplying the insurgents, lets say an arms dealer who sells u weapons (obviously he sells ak47s sks and all that rusky crap (no offence to russians they rock) Im sure hes gonna have mosin and enfields, more mosins that enfields perhaps, why? remember? there are more mosins then enfields produced...so U have to deceide between a cheaper, more available, virtually same round (coz the enfield got turned into 7.6 nato in the 50s) compatible with all the svds psls tigers u have in ure arsenal, higher muzzle velocity (2700 ft/s)

vs

a rifle that has a higer price, less available(I dont mean its dificult to find), a round that aint made to be compatible with ure arsenal of russian rifles (svd, psl etc), with less muzzle velocity(about 2400 ft/s)

really all I see in the enfield is it has a 5 extra rounds capacity, but u loose that advantage at the time of reloading and lets face it the soldier that uses an enfield or mosin is gonna rely on that one shot one kill coz 10 rounds or not he cant keep up with an assault rifle so 10 would be about the same then 5 in a bolt action nowadays.

Now looking at the info it is a more logical choise to pick the mosin over the enfield coz it adjusts better for the insurgents

lets make this clear Im not saying the enfield is not available or that insurgents dont use it, Im just saying its much more probable they would use a mosin.

that would be all.

But as it stands.. the chances of getting (ingame) a high quality Lee Enfield are significantly higher than getting a high quality mosin.
