Mosin carbine

A later produced and substantially shortened version of Imperial Russia's original service rifle, this variant of the Mosin features a notably more compact barrel and an integral side-folding bayonet. Produced during the latter days of the Second World War for the Soviet Union, the weapon exhibits less overall stopping power than its full-length older brother thanks to the former's stubbier barrel. Despite the arm being somewhat weaker than its forefather, the 7.62x54mm round that it chambers still packs a hefty punch, whilst its smaller size helps to make the weapon wieldier.
