Depending on how much confidence you have in your shot, (mine is above average, but no where close to expert) depends on what weapon you would use.

As for myself, like I said, i'm not the best, but I can be a formiable sniper, I would use the Mauser for trying to pickoff targets at a distance. It's more accurate, and the loading time prevents you from shooting off more than one round at a time, therefore you have better control.

As for closer combat, the Gerand's rapid fire, and mid-accuracy of a rifle, can probably outgun a Mauser when at a shorter range.

If you going to use the Kar98 rifle...might as well put the scope on it as well.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


No, thats the whole point of using the KAR98 it's a hard rifle to master and getting kills with it is better then resorting to sniping.

Btw i just started up a thread about this a few days ago, whats the sense in starting a new one?

The mauser sucks its like the mauser sniper but without a scope use the sniper instead.

unscoped reloads faster. doesnt anyone else play to be challenged instead of running down corridors with a STG44 anymore?

If you have to use ONLY the rifle gun, which one do you choose ?
The US M1
Or the German Mauser (is it the mauser?)

???

I ask this cause I have tested the Mauser :
only 1 shot and after that a really long loading phase.... mmmmm
Don't like it !

Well (terve kaveri http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/biggrin.gif) The Mauser is good for more long-range than the Garand, because you can't kill a guy with Garand by shootin dang-dang-dang-dang, you must shoot one bullet in a time.Then you have the chances, because if you shoot once with the KAR98, the enemy has only 20 or lesser health left.0 if yoou shoot in the head. If I remember right, when you shoot ppl to head with Garand they might not get killed (not sure?) but anyway, when it comes to close combat, Garand wins usually, of course if you hit before Garand does with the KAR98 you get a good edge.They have both their good and bad sides.But I say that if I have to make a choose, I would make a go with the Garand.Out.

you sniper kids just dont get it.

when on axis I usually use the mauser w/o scope. the satisfaction from taking someone down with such a diff weapon is worth it. the hard thing about it is, even though MOH is less run and gun than most mp games, its still more so than real war. and the mauser is a sit and shoot over a wall weapon. you cant run around and shoot someone with a mauser. I played on a server with a guy the other night who absolutely owned everyone with the mauser. now thats talent.

StG is a great weapon but doesnt really take much talent. but I prefer that to a bunch of snipers or rocket whores

If you want to know what we think, search for the 5+ other topics regarding the 2 rifles.

The M1 Garand is just sweet with the semi- I can snipe with the mauser easily... No need for a scope.

play CPR or CKR and the rifles will kill in one shot if you hit them in the upper body

and the enemy just stand still and let you do this?? http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/wink.gif

i think weapons are equally balanced for each side.
The axis mostly defend, so get yourself a nice spot and the mauser is great, and because youre in defence the loading doesnt matter too much because you can hide easily.

The garand is great for its fast shots, allowing you to push forward quickly.

obviously though in the times where the roles are reversed and the axis have to attack while the allies defend, the allies can fire off quickly while still being defensive, however, a good aim of the mauser can usually take an enemy out with 1 or two good hits, because when the allies are hiding, they expose the vulnerable points of their body in order to shoot back.
