You do realise that all this 'beautiful sniper /confirmed kills' malarky is just WW2 Soviet propaganda, right?
The Russkis sent a female "sniper" to the rifle factory at Enfield shortly after WW2. It turned out she new nothing about rifles or how to use one. She was a substitute, probably a commie trusted to travel abroard.sgathore said:

Roza Yegorovna Shanina she was very good with sniping she was in the 184th Red Banner Rifle Division She was responsible for 54 confirmed kills, including 12 enemy snipers, during the Battle of Vilnius
The weapon she is holding is an 1891-30 Mosin-Nagant, 7.62mm, bolt-action. It can hold two rounds in the internal chamber below the receiver as well as one in the breech. Hers is the sniper version, in which the bolt is angled downwards so it doesn't interfere with the telescopic sight; most had straight bolts. I have one too!
(unfortunately deactivated).
The one Jude Law uses in 'Enemy at the Gates' does not appear to be a sniper version as it has the straight bolt.

As to being a "fearsome gun with a kick that will break your shoulder off", the persons who suffered from this shoulder destroying performance of this cartridge must have had weakened biology compared to modern man. The 7.62 X 54R in the Moisten-Nagant (bolt-action) or Tokarev rifle, (semi-auto), developed about 19 to 20 foot pounds free recoil, approximately the same as the SMLE 303 MkVII.
This sort of recoil of course is made to feel worse on your shoulder & cheek when coupled with poor stock design which a lot of military rifle designs suffered from.
A Winchester 300 Magnum has a free recoil of about 40 - 45 foot pounds in a modern sporting rifle.
The 500 Jeffery (or Schuler), which was for a time the most powerful bolt action production rifle in the world has a free recoil of 105 foot pounds in a 12 pound rifle.

You're just saying that because there were no deadly attractive women snipers from jolly old England. Gassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
