Sorry Soren but this posting is rubbish.
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.
There is also no doubt that the Allies did not use the Mauser 98,
The British because the Lee Enfield was a better rifle. With a faster rate of fire and double the ammunition it had clear advantages.
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.
I haven't used the Mauser but I have fired the Lee Enfield at 700 yards with good results.
It was fitted with peep sights not the normal iron or telescopic sights.
I dont think it is a bad list but I can probably think of better guns than the M-16.
Let me see if I have this right. The Mauser used by the Germans in WW1 and WW2 was designed in the late 1800s. It is considered the best bolt action rifle of all time. No one has been able to improve on that design in more than a century. And it had more range than any other Allied rifle in WW2. Hmmmm. Wonder why the snipers the US military has don't use Mausers or Mauser actions?
the closer to the actuall event of the work, the more reliable the source (as a general rule)
I have only one thing to say . . . . .
Rubbish, that is a claim you can't substantiate with any evidence.
This is rubbish. It had at least as good a range as the Mauser ( I take it you know that the first Lee Enfields were sighted to 2000 yards for volley fire)It wasn't any bit a better rifle and it had some clear disadvantages, namely shorter effective range, weaker action and rimmed ammunition.
By Whom?And the Mauser is considered the best bolt action rifle of all time, so as you can see there's a difference.
Peep sights are std. on the Enfield rifles.
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.
The facts are that in the summer of 1914, the "Old Contemptibles" regularly outshot and outranged the German troops.
Yep, I used the US military sniper weapons as an example for the simple reason that no other country has had the combat experience that the US military has had since 1945.
wrong again the US used the Canadian Sylabus after the US forces had deemed the sniper redundant in the early 70's they omce again reinstaed the sniper training using the Canadian modelBullshit.
Just so you know the US sniper training program used today is based on the German sniper training program from WW2, yep it's nearly an exact copy and they're not the only country using it today either.
DSR-1, sub .2 MOA rifle.

Show us your photographs of British troops using the Mauser as a preference to the Lee Enfield.
