I thought I’d never see this rifle in a first-person shooter

The game is, however, missing the majestically long “Yataghan” bayonet.

Vetterli-Vitali IRL

Recreating the ammunition was a convoluted process involving conversion of Lebel rifle brass. The Vetterli is unusual in that despite its unwieldy size and weight, it fires a relatively weak cartridge, here recreated using 62 grains of Triple 7 gunpowder. The sights are also very different IRL, having a minimum setting of 275m. Similar to all WW1 rifles, at close range you would have to aim at the enemy’s balls in order to hit him in the chest.
