The Scoped Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle is issued as a sniper variant for the 'Marksman' class. Over seventeen million Mosin-Nagant rifles were manufactured during the war, making it the most-manufactured small arm of that period. The weapon could be disassembled entirely using the bayonet. Even without the bayonet mounted, the Mosin-Nagant was the second-longest standard-issue service rifle fielded in World War Two, behind the Japanese Type 38 rifle.

The rifle fed from a five-round integral magazine, which could be loaded from five-round stripper clips. Firing the 7.62 x 54R rifle cartridge ('R' for 'rimmed'), The Mosin-Nagant was hard-hitting, exceptionally simple to maintain, quite accurate, and reliable under almost all conditions. The Mosin-Nagant, Model 1891/1930, was the standard-issue bolt-action rifle of the Russian Imperial Army from the Russo-Japanese War through to the First World War, was used by both White Russian and Red Army soldiers in the Russian Civil War, and saw frontline combat throughout the Second World War until its conclusion.
