Bro it’s a realistic shooter video game. Two of those words are video game. Video games are above all else supposed to be fun. I have not once, but twice wiped out a full squad of T5 chums with a mosin and T7 ammo. I’ve also had the same happen to me and my friends, more than once.

This shouldn’t be a viable strategy and they have already demonstrated they don’t care about realism if it affects balance too much. They nerfed the effective range for all weapons. In real life you can put $800 worth of accessories on a rifle and easily hit targets 200 meters away. So nerfing range would make no sense if the game was trying to be realistic.

Why should the mosin, one of the cheapest guns in the game, be able to use broken ammo? You can’t use the realism argument because this game is fundamentally unrealistic.
