It's literally not because the Garland handily takes that honor and it's not even a close contest.
Caleb Carter
Steyr's M95/35 was superior to the K31
Anthony Davis
How so?
Thomas Watson
semi auto makes it superior to any bolt action by default
Parker Sanchez
Lmao what the fuck are you talking about, that's implying something like the G43 is better. It's not. Have you seen how fast the action of the K31 is?
Landon Robinson
Its a semi auto and holds 8 rounds.
Landon Green
For it to be a "WWII" anything, it would have actually had to have seen action in the war.
Slower than any semi auto.
-t A massive K31 fanboy.
Nathan Thomas
Okay buddy retard. I'm not arguing with a fudd.
Jonathan Bennett
Still slower than a semi auto
Ethan Smith
There's only so fast you can reasonably use a .30-06
Ryder Cooper
Accuracy
Brayden Perez
shut the fuck up wit your boring shit please
Charles Cooper
no fuck you

>WWII service rifle
>not used in WWII
William Sanchez
okay this is so epic can we stay neutral
Brandon Wright
In what fucking world would a fudd defend a semi auto over a bolt action?
Aaron Flores
Ayden Cox
It's the garand you retard
John Ortiz
You have a very strange idea of what constitutes a fudd. Also, see
Luis Kelly
>G43
not a basic infantryman's rifle
only for squad leaders and designated marksmen, sometimes.
STV was a better contender to some degree, but not fully and not really in practice, iirc 1/3 of riflemen were supposed to be rearmed with them before the war broke out and then they rather made more Mosins.
>Have you seen how fast the action of the K31 is?
Straight pull isn't inherently better than classic bolt action, while you don't need to turn your wrist to cycle, you need to "fight" with the camming system, so you're only a few miliseconds faster.
Pretty much everybody from former A-H switched from straight pull Mannlichers to Mausers after WWI because everyone realized from first hand experience the extra complexity is not really worth it.
But the main point is, you still need to fire-uncheek-cycle-cheek-aim, with each shot, but with semi auto you can just fire-adjust aim-fire again
Parker Price
this is so sad can we perpetuate bullshit myths
Levi Diaz
>myth
It's literally being shown in practice. Is this some new meme I don't know about?
Noah Murphy
the meme is that fudds and boomers perpetuate bullshit myths like the garand sound
Aaron Sullivan
Except they had to use an oddball .329 caliber round instead of a standard 8mm mauser, if the Hungarians didn't have to be such special snowflakes the M95 would be the best straight pull bolt milsurps hands down.
Angel Myers
It wasn't though.
Justin Martinez
Literally who said anything about the Garand sound?
Nathan Martin
Don't get me wrong, the SVT was woefully inadequate and expensive for WW2. But this gun directly influenced weapons that were brilliant and stood the test of time more than any other WW2 weapon.
Charles Stewart
can the mas 36 even be considered a ww2 standard issue rifle? I mean in 1940 most of the french army ws still using berthies and lebels,and later in the war the free french forces mostly used british and american stuff
Adam Morgan
Bro the AK bolt is literally from the Garand
Gabriel Wright
I think he was referring more to the gas system
Charles Scott
It was great for ww2, just expensive, I seem to remember the stat being something like 5-7 mosins could be made for the same price as an svt40.
>semi auto
>pretty accurate
>heavy but no heavier than was normal at the time
>semi auto
>takes magazines or stripper clips (same stripper clips as the mosin)
>did I mention semi auto
>uses the same ammo they used in the mosin
>DETACHABLE BOX MAGAZINES IN THE 1940s
