Mosin-Nagant

The Mosin Nagant is the only bolt-action Sniper rifle in Surviv.io that takes 7.62mm ammo. It also has the highest damage per shot of firearm in the game.

History
The Mosin Nagant, is a bolt-action Sniper Rifle that was invented in Russia in 1891. It is a very old gun; however, it still remains in use today along with the current weapons of modern warfare.

Summary
The Mosin Nagant is one of the rarest rifles in the game, along with the Saiga-12 and the M249. Its perfect accuracy and high damage allow for long range target acquisition; however, its three main drawbacks are that its firing speed is slow, the player's movement is severely reduced while firing, and the Nagant is long so the player will have to find overlapping trees to hide.

The Mosin is typically best used in mid-to-late-game as by that point, one would hopefully have a decent scope, as it is essential to get the best use out of the Mosin. A low-tier scope renders the Mosin ineffective, as one would easily get killed by an automatic rifle or a shotgun, unless they are a proficient no-scoper.

Strategy

 * The Mosin Nagant combined with an 8 or 15x scope is useful until late-game, because with the red zone there is less space to snipe, making for easy wipeout from a shotgun or assault rifle.
 * Mosin Nagant combined with any shotgun,(preferably an M870 or Saiga-12) will be an excellent choice of guns throughout the game. A MAC-10 will suffice as well.
 * Its long slow move speed after firing will be completely negated if you put away the gun or swap it out for your other straight after firing, but you will still have a short delay before firing, but will now move at a normal speed.
 * Later in the game, it's suggested to have an automatic weapon, or any other high powered weapons as in a "1v1" it would be very easy to get killed if they have a shotgun or an automatic rifle.
 * Get behind cover like a rock or tree, and peek every now and then to take a shot. This allows you to deal a great amount of damage whilst not exposing yourself to a dangerous amount of enemy rifle fire.
 * Line up your shot with targets that are standing still or moving in a straight line. Targets that are moving unpredictable will be hard to hit at long range.
 * Use this weapon to finish off injured targets who are retreating.
 * If you believe in your skills, feel free to use this gun in close combat as a finishing weapon, if you hit your foe with multiple shotgun hits you can use the gun as a way to finishing them off, a way of negating the drawbakcs of firing afterwards.
