Sorry Soren but this posting is rubbish.
Nope.
There is no doubt that the British at least often used German SMG's in fact it was the policy of the Essex Regiment to dump Stens and replace them with German MP's.
Agreed, and never disputed that, I was refering to the Allies never using the Mauser, I know they did and I even have pictures to prove it.
There is also no doubt that the Allies did not use the Mauser 98,
Rubbish, that is a claim you can't substantiate with any evidence.
The British because the Lee Enfield was a better rifle. With a faster rate of fire and double the ammunition it had clear advantages.
It wasn't any bit a better rifle and it had some clear disadvantages, namely shorter effective range, weaker action and rimmed ammunition.
As for the range question. All three rifles were more than accurate enough for normal combat ranges and as for maximum ranges there was nothing in it but its worth noting that the Lee Enfield Sniper is considered to be a classic.
And the Mauser is considered the best bolt action rifle of all time, so as you can see there's a difference.
I haven't used the Mauser but I have fired the Lee Enfield at 700 yards with good results.
Me as-well, aint that hard, the Lee Enfield is a very accurate rifle there's no doubt about it, but beyond 700m and you're starting to have trouble. The faster, lower drag and heavier 7.92mm bullet solves that problem and is what makes the K98k the best rifle of the era for long range work.
It was fitted with peep sights not the normal iron or telescopic sights.
Peep sights are std. on the Enfield rifles, the volley sight is more exotic.
As for peep sights vs V sights, I prefer V sights for accuracy. The problem many people have with the V sights is directly linked to their vision not being good enough, they simply can focus well enough. But for people with good vision the V sight is great and very accurate, as long as you know how to use it properly ofcourse.
