On the other side, German sniping suffered from a lack of standardization of weapons and a lack of marksmen deployed at the start of the Great Patriotic War (1941–45). There were few heroes in the conflict, but on both sides, the snipers were idolized – especially on the Soviet side, gaining almost mythical status.As well as traditional bolt-action weapons, both sides used several types of semi-automatic rifle, such as the SVT-38 and the Gew 41. Offering greater firepower at the expense of long-range accuracy, such weapons would be profoundly influential in the postwar world. Fully illustrated, this absorbing study investigates the development of sniping weapons and techniques on World War II’s Eastern Front.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBBook Series: WeaponGenre: HistoryTopic: Military History, Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
