In love with the lee

There are a lot of weapons in the middle east, including many Enfields. Some of them may have come from western support against the soviet invasion, some may have crossed over from India into Pakistan during and after British rule of India, some may have been smuggled around by other means, along with Chinese replicas or next to FALs from Africa. There are a lot of Mosin Nagants too; the Ruskies were in Afghanistan for a period, undoubtedly bringing in a lot of Mosins. I'm not doubting that there are tons of Mosins there. I'm criticizing your point about there not being Enfields in the hands of insurgent or Taliban fighters.

lee enfield is not a good weapon for insurgents coz hm insurgents using british weapons?

The PR team does not have a good Mosin. They have a fantastic Enfield, but not a Mosin. Because of the relatively heavy presence of Enfields in the hands of insurgents and Taliban (or other hands in the middle east), the Enfield fits right in with the other weapons in the game. Sure, you would also find Mosins, maybe even more than Enfields. That still doesn't overcome the fact that we don't have a Mosin model. If you or anyone you know can whip out a PR-grade Mosin, textured, UV-mapped, and otherwise ready to go, the Devs would be glad to have it.



Now lets go over your arguments point-by-point.

1. While I do not doubt your statistics are within a decent range, you haven't provided any sort of source for your information. A solid argument has credible sources. I again whip out my bionic-penis example: I can say that there are more bionic-penises in the world than regular penises, and I have just as much evidence as you.

2. Really? I don't think that western Internet-auction websites are a primary source for illegal arms in the middle east. Or, for that matter, reflect the illegal arms market in any way.

3. Again, I agree, Mosins are most likely more common than Enfields, along with the higher availability of 7.62x54mmR ammunition vs .303 British. However, that doesn't justify statements that rip on the developers for having an Enfield in the game and not a Mosin. A Mosin alongside the Enfield would be great, but saying that Enfields in the hands of arms dealers is unlikely is absurd.


Mostly what provoked me is not in what you said literally, but the meaning of the words. You never said that it was stupid to use the Enfield instead of the Mosin, but the whole post implies that. The combination of sarcasm ("not a good weapon for insurgents coz hm insurgents using british weapons" unless the "hm" was a mad typo), the speed typing, lack of any punctuation or consideration for grammar, and only insults for the decision to use the Enfield "enfield is not a good weapon for insurgents," it all sums up to a great big gaping insult towards the Dev team and the mod as a whole.



I shall now close the post with some fun with contradictions.

Ahhh, that's out of my system.

Oh yes.
