People there preferences change after each version

enfield and mauser still remain the most popular. The enfield because it was simply the best bolt action rifle WW1 and WW2 and any war before or after saw.

The K98k is popular because well......its german.  ;D

Yet the M1917 enfield and carcano still remain popular choises of people. I can understand why. Well the M1917 is just a fine, rugged and super accurate battle rifle. It is was called the "bastard" often because it is not a full mauser, yet not a full enfield. All the american sights of the thompson, M1 and such where based on the P14/M1917 sights.

And the Carcano...well its italian  ;D    and for some reason i can hit things with it on even the longest ranges

But the sights havent changed, so I don't know why people should have change their opinion... Overall I don't have my favourite, maybe I don't like this Mauser early version, because of sights, but on the battlefied it doesnt mean anything - I will use it anyway, because I have no other choice...

Is there any other use of the 1917 Enfield other than the US ammo kit? I havent seen one in another use but I wish to.

People can and do change their opinions rather frequently. And you do have a choice, you can pick up a fallen enemy's kit with his rifle which might be more of your preference and stick with it.

Carcano M91 is still the best axis rifle, and has been since 2.15.  It's actually the best rifle in the mod as far as I'm concerned, and is by far the one I can hit most accurately with.  The M38 just has something 'wrong' with it in comparison, and I find the K98 (and other rifles that look like it) to be 'meh'.

As for allied rifles, I have a harder time choosing.  I think they are much closer together in how effective I am with them (though the Springfield is by far the worst).  I guess if pressed I'd say the No.4 was my favourite.

As for new rifles, well, I'm not at liberty to say.  I have my desires though...

BTW, you should split the K98 into hooded and not hooded options.  I know I find the non hooded one has the better ironsights.

Stand fast, my No. 1 Mk.III bretheren.

The M1917 is also a marvelous little rifle next to the 1903, love all three more than any other guns in the game.
