Second best, first if they'd fix that reload. When I'm running K bullets I like being able to fire of follow-up shots _before_ they can finish repairing, not after.
catboy357 The reload is not broken. Lebel used a quite unique loading system. After loading the magazine, you need to cycle the bolt twice to chamber a round.
The double cycle is only needed if you _don't_ put one in the chamber as well, what's broken is that you load an extra round into the chamber (or tube, depending on perspective) The basic animation for adding rounds to the tube repeats for every missing round, then it adds another round to the chamber during the reload end animation, a round which is never accounted for (meaning a full 8 round reload actually has you loading 9 rounds and a single shot, 3). Additionally, as the reload starts, it has you load yet another round if you still had ammo left (an actual part of the design, but it ruins the function of K bullets as it plays even if the magazine is empty)
I feel like the only person in the game who loves the Lebel infantry. Awesome iron sights (one of the non-quantifiable qualities of an infantry rifle), fast rate of fire second only to the M95, great sweet spot, and 8 rounds. The annoying reload animation can be cancelled by quickly switching to your pistol and back or with a melee swing. You get good at it with practice.
literally not z I agree if you guys want a more immersive WW1 game I recommend Verdun for the PC the only bad thing about Verdun in my opinion is that their are no tanks
I could play with the Lawrence every minute of every match and be perfectly satisfied. perfect sights, sweet spot and time-to-kill ratio. so glad they haven't significantly nerfed it or anything since launch.
There are better ways to use the Lee Enfield reload system to your advantage - once you have 5 or less shots left and you're out of combat just hit reload and cancel instantly to just reload one clip, then you've got between 6 and 10 shots left, which is more than enough and you don't have to worry about reloading when you're in danger. It basically means you get to choose when you reload without having to reload individual rounds, unlike most other rifles. It may not sound that useful a tip but it really is.
Infantry: Martini or SMLE Sniper: SMLE or Russian SMG: Ribbey Roles or Automatico Shotgun: Model 10 Hunter and factory LMG: Parrabelium or BAR Pistol: Obrez or m1911 Pilot/Tanker: Frommer Stop Auto or the WW1 G18
Bobs and Vegana the obrez isn't that great. Slow, terribile accuracy and severe dropoff. It's a fun one but not a good one. the fast pistols are great tho
Bobs and Vegana I personally like the Mle 1903 more than the M1911 cause i suck at aiming with pistols and i don't need power because my infantry rifles are enough for my pistols to 1 hit them.
Best infantry rifle: Type 38 arisaka Best sniper rifle: Gewehr 98 sniper Best support gun: M1917 mg low weight Best medic gun: farquhar hill Best assault gun: Ribeyrolles 1918 That's it for me
I play Frontlines and every weapon has a strength and weakness depending on the plan of attack and defense and map and so many more small things that I can’t list them all. I love support so this may sound bias but imo the best gun in the game is the Parabellum low weight and it’s not even close. Close proximity pray and spray. Midrange its laser beams and lights out. Long range I spray so much lead its suppresses the living shiite out of everyone. Yea I enjoy the Arisaka. And Automatico and Hellriegl. I love the Selbstadler marksman. Cool guns but not nearly as satisfying as spraying into piles of people with overwhelming Parabellum Justice!! LOL
arisaka and lebel are better at least I like them both better for different reasons. Lebel has better sights and shoots faster, the arisaka is basically a complete upgrade aside from having 5 instead of 10 bullets in the mag.
Best infantry rifle : Arisaka Best sniper rifle : M1903 springfield Best smg : Hellrigel Best shotgun : double barreld Best LMG: parrabelum Best self loading rifle : fedorov or farqua hill best sidearm : m1911 best tanker/pilot weapon : sawed off shotgun or glock 18
The double barrel is freaking amazing... in fact, it has the same damage model as the model 10-A, but with less rounds and faster rate of fire... plus people won't hate as much when you kill them with the double barrel...
If I'm gonna be honest, the Parabellum isn't that great of a Lmg.It kills incredibly quickly, but with the Parabellum's poor spread and recoil values, you can't exactly put this power to good use. One solution is to use the bipod, but you will make yourself a sniper's target and even then the recoil is still inconsistent. And if I'm gonna go up close and personal, why not use the BAR or Chauchat? They have better handling and lower recoil at the cost of smaller capacity. But they still kill quickly in close-quarters. There are also other, minor nitpicks: Slow reload, quick overheat, ecceterra.
Best infantry rifle: Lebel or Arisaka Best sniper rifle: M1903 Best Smg: M1917 Trench carbine or Ribeyrolles Best Shotgun: Sjögren Best Medic rifle: Farquar Hill Best Lmg: Chauchat or M1917 Browning Best sidearm: Mle 1903 Best Pilot/tanker: Sawed off shotgun Best melee: Ottoman Flanged Mace (subjective)
Azdie I know, I know that those guns are techinically carbines, but the game lists them as Smg's, so they are still suitable. But when it comes to TRADITIONAL smgs, then it is the Mp18 or Automatico
Hi, you didn't mention one of gewers biggest strength: it will at any distance ( to the chest) do a damage that guarantee you an assist that counts as kill. Keep doing a great job, i love your videos.
Excellent capacity, good iron sights, decent rate of fire and effective between 50 - 87,5 meters, but the reload is terrible, the K-Bullet animations are terrible and the muzzle velocity is apparently worse than average.
Quick tip when reloading the SMLE with less than 5 rounds. Just press fire after the reload started and you will only load a stripper clip and no individual rounds.
It really all depends what map you're playing on, what class and even the people you're playing with on your team. Also what the apposite team is using in terms of class and weapons themselves. Oh and the game mode your playing. So taking all these factors into consideration, then and only then can you begin to decide what weapon truly is the best for that given situation.
M95 was my favourite for a long time (100 ss) with MH a close second. I have to say the new Type 38 Arisaka is my new fave - it's pretty much almost a direct upgrade to the M95 and it has the best iron sights in the game IMO.
SMG: M1917 Trench Carbine Medic: Mondragon Storm and Farquar Hill Storm Scout: SMLE Infantry and Arisaka Type 38 For my favourite class, support: MG 14/17 Parabellum Low Weight, BAR M1918 Storm, Chauchat Low Weight, M1909 Benet Mercie Storm and the MG 15 Storm Edit: Shotgun: Model 1900 Factory Pilot: M1911 Extended Tank Driver: Frommer Stop Auto
Yep my findings not too different than yours...SMLE is a great infantry rifle. Gewerh 95 is also good. I've been experimenting and I like the arisaka and nagant quite well as the sights are nice. The Lebel however has a very fine sight and I like it quite well as an infantry gun. The SMLE is nice but sometimes the sight confuses me in the heat of battle and I actually aim with the side post by mistake and miss. The Lebels sight is open and comes to a crisp needle point. Very nice
might be a lil bit late but: the n-block of the M95 ejects out of the bottom only when 4 rounds have been fired and the 5th one is chambered. if there is ammo left in the clip, the shooter has to take it out the way it came in: through the top
I just love the Arisaka. Good rate of fire, and short range sweet spot so you can be aggressive. Best assault smg? Automatico M1918. I mean really what else.
My top 3 rifles 3). Lebel Infantry, good damage, nice sweetspot, beautiful inron-sights well rounded overall. 2). SMLE MKIII enough said 1). Carcano, this thing is just so incredibly smooth to use, has 6 rounds over standard 5, may not 1 hit kill to body but the smoothness and speed allow for a fast 2nd killing shot.
Went to the shooting range with a friend who has the SMLE he let me shoot 10 rounds. Was magic, brass butt left the slightest of marks on my shoulder, the bolt action was perfect. Such a joy.
Gewehr 95 takes the cake for me. No bullshit 100 dmg body shot kills. Snipers would already be ridiculously powerful with their 80~90dmg per shot. Fair gun. No sweetspot. Hoping the Ross Rifle comes into the game like this one.
Loving the new Arisaka rifle. Very similiar to the SMLE i feel (not sure about stats wise) and very powerfull in a close to mid range fights. And i think it looks very good with the legendary skin.
Hunter Stanek best without a doubt. I've been a long time SMLE user since release. I haven't gone back to it since the Arisaka came out. My KPM went up 0.3 since switching to the Arisaka.
3. Type 38 2. Lebel 1. Vitterli Though I like to run with the Gewehr 98 infantry at times cause you can’t beat that muzzle velocity. Gewehr 98 is certainly my favorite with sniper scope.
Hell yeah, last night I finally got my L'union Sacrée legendary skin for the Rybeyrolles that I longed for for so long... plus a bunch of other new skins...
Best pistol: 1911 Best smg: mp18 Best lmg: mg15n.a.low weight Best medic rifle: autoloading 8.25 extended Best shotgun: sjorgen inertial Best revolver: auto revolver Best scout rifle: personal preference and game play style play too big of a role for there to be a best but top three for me are Close: martini henery Medium: carcano Long: gewehr 98
For me: Best SMG - 1st Automatico :D (But Ribeyrolls is a Assault Rifle for me, and its best for class in many cases) 2nd Machinepistole 3rd MP18 Best Infantry Rifle - For me any of yours, i like SMLE but rather i using a 1st Arisaka, 2nd Nagant, 3rd Verteli carabine Best Semi-Automatic rifle - 1st F Hill, 2nd Spel1906 / General Liu, 3rd Cei-Rigotti Best Assault Rifles - 1st Ribeyrolles, 2nd Fedorov, 3rd Chachuchat / BAR (its maybe not clearly Assault rifles, but its a bit simillar to use and hit) Best LMGs - 1st Parabellum 2nd Madsen MG 3rd M1917 MG / Perino 1908
For me I prefer something with a clear set of iron sights if I am going to run with an infantry version. And for that you can't beat the Lebel. It's almost a needle point, allowing you to get really great head shots from a long distance. The only thing letting it down is the reload, and the borked animation if you need to reload just one round, which you can skip by cancelling using a switch to a pistol and back. The sound is also excellent. I've never really been able to get used to the SMLE for some reason. Just can't seem to ever be in the band that allows a 1 hit kill. My choices would be 1 - Lebel, 2 - Arisaka, 3 - Martini Henry (mostly for the sound of it and it's 1 hit kill zone)
The SMLE Infantry is my best weapon according to my stats. I like to play with infantry variants in general because I am good with iron sights and it makes it harder for the enemy to locate my position. As Westie saide the SMLE has good sights, excellent accuracy, a perfect sweet spot in most cases, and the 10 round capacity means you can get multiples kills quickly. I also love the Lebel 1886 Infantry, but that's more of a personnal choice since I'm French. :)
Never got to use any of the dlc smgs, so my choices are the autimatico, mp18, and hellriegel. Leaving out unlock times and specific variants, the weapons all have their own niches. The automatico has a blisteringly fast ttk at point blank, but drops off fast and burns through ammo. The mag is also a bit obstructive. The hellriegel is easy to use, but its only amazing stat is its ammo capacity. All others are kust average. It also can't use a bayonet. I personally find the mp18 to be a good mix of the two. Decent ttk at all close ranges and 30 rounds, it is highly versatile. Just my opinion though.
I think the best msg in bf1 is the french (don’t know how to spell it) is the rebolles carbine because the recoil isn’t bad and for medium to long range it has a bipod. I think it’s about a 5 to 7 shot kill if you aim for the body and u can choose between semi auto and full auto depending on wether or not you are better at tap fire than holding the trigger. And it’s a 4 shot kill if you aim for the head.
The best infantry rifle is the vitali..just because it looks and sounds horrible doesn't mean do discredit it's very practical sweetspot range and 4-round-magazine
Mohamad Abdul Wahed The Vitali is a beautiful rifle what are you talking about? Also I like the rechambering animation since the rifle completely moves out of your view so you can stay on target
Great picks Westie, but I would name 2 rifles for at least honorable mentions: Gewehr 98 sniper, the fastest muzzle velocity makes it superb at long range sniping. The newly instroduced Arisaka type 38, very consistent, good rof, good sweet spot range, not as dynamic as the SMLE, but still a very good rifle.
I love all the snippers but those 3 you listed are the best no doubt. As for the best smg, btw this is on consoles and my personal opinion. 1. Hellriegel because it is good at everything. 2. Ribeyrolles, I dont know what the damage stats are but still very reliable and has the bipod. 3. Mp18 trench, I am not good at hip firing so I like to ads that is why for me mp18 over the Automatico.
Best SMG is ribeyrolls for me. It has a good rate of fire, a bipod good for long range, fast reload. And if I fire on an enemy without aim of sight, I get always good hit. Mp18 is for the 2nd and 3th place the automatico
My list of best infantry rifles: 1. Arisaka 2. Lebel 1886 3. Martini Henry 4. Gewehr M95 5. Carcano 6. Mosin nagant 7. Russian 1895 8. Smle Mk III 9. Vertelli-vittaly 10. M1903
You may as well use Carbine variants wherever possible. Then again, my favourite has to be the Arisaka; it has a close sweet spot and a high muzzle velocity.
Westie it’s so exciting to hear that there will be a new bf1 series, also please do some more bf1 weapon history! (They are my favorite!!!!) My favorite smg is probably the automatico m1918 because the no need to aim. Thx for hearing me out!
Russian is not only my favorite infantry rifle but favorite gun overall The rate of fire outdoes the smle and the iron sights let you pull off incredible long shots + it’s beautiful
I still think the Viterli Vitali is the best infantry rifle in the game because it has the nearest sweet spot. While the rate of fire and muzzle velocity let it down a little bit, but it makes up for that by allowing me to PTFO and engage enemies at close distances.
I personally like the Mosin-Nagant Infantry, I really like the high muzzle velocity, and the iron sights are ones I can actually use, unlike a lot of the infantry rifles
Guys I love play with gew98 infantry it's very fun to play. Suffer from low damages on close combat but I can kill all others sniper on distance becose thay don't expect me to have ge98 with iron scope
My goto bolt action rifle is the Gewehr 98 marksmen. Not sure why I use this one more but the MM variant is on the top of my kills list. This may not seem like much given that a lot of people tend to use one gun that ends up with more kills then then all the other guns in the game combined but I am more of a "use whatever random gun I feel like today" person.
Best infantry: carcano Best Sniper: Mosin Nagant Marksman Best Smg: Ribey Best Lmg: up for debate Best self loading: General liu Best Shotgun: Double Barrel
I was going to argue about the SMLE, but after listening to the rationale I would actually agree. Full disclosure, the Gewehr M.95, Martini-Henry, and SMLE are my favourite Infantry rifle anyway (ordered from best to worst), but it also really comes down to personal preference. Still doesn't change my mind though: I much prefer the open sights and high rate of fire on the Gewehr vs the SMLE, and the high damage of the Martini vs the SMLE, hence why the SMLE is in 3rd place for me
Best scout rifle is Martini Henry takes some getting used to though Best medic is new farqhuar hill great all round weapon Best assault is whatever you can find lying about coz they are all dreadful Support just get something big and heavy,Perino maybe. Remember the bartek is just bit of tree and that works!
For me the M95 infantry is far better than the SMLE infantry. If you like SMLE go for the Marksman version, the infantry version has confusing iron sight. You already use the infantry version, that means aggressive playstyle and close range gunfight, the M95 have more consistent damage and faster firerate.
Cant agree more. My most kills scout rifle is SMLE Marksman version, I dont hate it. But when I need to play aggressive as a scout, I tried many infantry or carbine versions, the M95 has the best efficiency. Its a teamplay weapon, I only need good accuracy to get 1hit and my teammates get another hit, we all get kill. Or I have 1 follow shot with no matter my rifle or pistol or melee. Its really fast.
Seems like the vetterli is underrated, honestly for me it's the best infantry rifle, it has the best sweetspot for close engagements and quite comfortable to use
The Arisaka replaced all the marksman variants for me. The only other sniper i would swap it out for is the Gewehr 98 for super long range counter sniping. If the iron sights on the Arisaka were a smidgen better it would be the ultimate scout rifle imo.
Russian 1895 Trench is by far my favorite Scout weapon in the game. 2nd would be the Carcana tied with the M1903 experimental. Though, the Trench is just so fun to use. I don't play Assault so nothing there. Favorite Medic Gun is a tie between RSC Factory and Fedorav, depends if I wanna feel like I'm using skill or just going an easy route. Favorite Support weapon is the Perino... the one without the optic. Not much of a second place here.
It would be cool if you haven't ran out of rounds in a clip in the GEWEHR M.95 that your hand would come up and cach the clip so when you need spare rounds you still have that clip with other rounds in it at ready.
Awesome video Westie! I love to use both the Martini Henry and the Lee Enfield, they are my favorite weapons in the scout class and they see a lot of usage. As someone who has a long family history of service in the British Military; a Great Great Grandfather killed at Gallipoli, another Great Great Grandfather killed in the Battle of the Somme and a Great Grandfather who fought and survived the Battle of Jutland. I am so glad to see that these two legendary British rifles got the notoriety that they deserve. Now I'm really hoping that one of the new weapons to be released in the Apocalypse dlc will be the British standard issue Webley Mk. VI Revolver. Especially if it is going to be about some of the notorious battles of WW1 like the Battle of the Somme.
Hey Westie! Polite, intelligent and precise commentary. I'm always eager to watch your newest BF1 video. Can't wait for your choices on the medic rifles, and your coverage on the upcoming Apocalypse DLC!
My fav infantry rifle in the game has to be the new Carcano m91 carbine.... say what you want about it's damage model, with irons, I don't want to snipe people 2 000 meters away... I want to stick with the team and for that I need high damage up close, for which is this rifle alongside the Gewehr m.95 ideal... I was running with this rifle the other day and had most flags captured....
Finally someone points out that the Vetterli- Vitali is the best. I really liked the Martini-Henry but i really just dont use it as much. My favorite is the Vetterli-Vitali. I love it. So satisfying.
One of most favorite sniper in BF1 is clearly Russian 1895. It is personally one of my best rifle i have most used in every game, i can hit everyone with the rifle easily and has quick rate of fire, makes you feel like a western marksman. Second to my favorite is Gewehr 98.
I do love the SMLE Mk. III. Both in BF1 and irl. Mine is a 1917 LSA built Mk. III with the magazine cutoff. I was actually kinda happy to find a Mk. III and not a MK. III* since the standard Mk. III has the magazine cutoff and is rather interesting to me
*It's clearly the Italian Villar Perosa* I'm kidding, I think it is either the Hellriegel or the MP 18, I find that the French Ribeyrolles as more of an assault rifle, as it has more range and has a bipod, plus the size of the weapon itself is a little too large to be an smg.
Don't forget to vote for your favourite SMG for the next episode of Best Weapons! You guys control the outcome of this series 😊👍 www.strawpoll.me/14768529
Westie Best Smg/Carbine: Mp18
Riberoyles
The ribeyrolles and m1917 are the best in my opinion
Westie the rib eye rollies (lul) definitely wins. It's just an amazing weapon.
I actually agree with your choices of rifles there Westie.
The Type 38 Arisaka is by far my favorite infantry rifle now
Zachel Charge Absolutely! That gun is amazing. I got all the skins for it but the Mitsuomi is my favorite. Imo it's the best skin in the game.
I just unlocked it. Is it good???
Mika Cho YES
Mika Cho it's awesome
Zachel Charge I just unlocked it and it is a total beast.
Lebel infantry come at me
Second best, first if they'd fix that reload. When I'm running K bullets I like being able to fire of follow-up shots _before_ they can finish repairing, not after.
catboy357 The reload is not broken. Lebel used a quite unique loading system. After loading the magazine, you need to cycle the bolt twice to chamber a round.

Additionally, as the reload starts, it has you load yet another round if you still had ammo left (an actual part of the design, but it ruins the function of K bullets as it plays even if the magazine is empty)
Amin Barray completely underrated rifle for how good it is
Jan Wacławik The reload is, the character loads the K-bullet into the tube magazine instead of directly on the tray
I feel like the only person in the game who loves the Lebel infantry. Awesome iron sights (one of the non-quantifiable qualities of an infantry rifle), fast rate of fire second only to the M95, great sweet spot, and 8 rounds. The annoying reload animation can be cancelled by quickly switching to your pistol and back or with a melee swing. You get good at it with practice.
ritterbruder212 It's my main inf since it released.
ritterbruder212 the sights are the best of all.the rate of fire is sligthly below the smle
ritterbruder212 I love the lebel! It fires so fast so its really easy to make follow up shots
ritterbruder212 not only u! My best infantry rifle too!
Pretty sure rof is this:
1. Gehwer m.95
2. Carcano
3.Lebel
4.Smle
I love infantry rifles, always used them since day one! They are the real ww1
literally not z I agree if you guys want a more immersive WW1 game I recommend Verdun for the PC the only bad thing about Verdun in my opinion is that their are no tanks
Death Strider the Shadowscale and that it’s kinda dead
SMLE makes me SMiLE.
No
Corny
Luis Santiago the Only downside to the Lee Enfield is that it is rather SMeLEy
Luis Santiago SMLE IS SMELLY
Jk tho
Good old reliable SMLE MK III
I suppose the most satisfying rifle is the new Type 38 Arisaka.
Yep.
I hit an over 250m headshot with it.
On Volga River against a sniper.
Limppu Man Noicy
Limppu Man ohhhhh, like you can‘t do that with every other rifle.
Ottifant I think he meant it was satisfying to do that with Arisaka
I’ve used the Lawrence of Arabia’s SMLE since launch and what a gun it’s amazing I just wish you could preform a mad minute
+TheWorkingKirk A mad minute would be AMAZING! Imagine the noise it would create... 👌
Westie now your talking
You can do a mad minute ?
I could play with the Lawrence every minute of every match and be perfectly satisfied. perfect sights, sweet spot and time-to-kill ratio. so glad they haven't significantly nerfed it or anything since launch.
danny that’s pretty much what I do
There are better ways to use the Lee Enfield reload system to your advantage - once you have 5 or less shots left and you're out of combat just hit reload and cancel instantly to just reload one clip, then you've got between 6 and 10 shots left, which is more than enough and you don't have to worry about reloading when you're in danger. It basically means you get to choose when you reload without having to reload individual rounds, unlike most other rifles. It may not sound that useful a tip but it really is.
Ribbeyrolles is obviously the best SMG to be in battlefield 1
I think the MP18 Optical might be better, the Ribeyrolles doesn't have enough bullets for its slower ROF imo
\ DreiValium /
Haha, nah man. It's decent, but there's a reason why it's the starter gun. Automatico and hellreigel out match it 8/10 times
Yeah that's why you use it so much
Infantry: Martini or SMLE
Sniper: SMLE or Russian
SMG: Ribbey Roles or Automatico
Shotgun: Model 10 Hunter and factory
LMG: Parrabelium or BAR
Pistol: Obrez or m1911
Pilot/Tanker: Frommer Stop Auto or the WW1 G18
Bobs and Vegana agreed and also u forgot the c93 for pistols
Bobs and Vegana the obrez isn't that great. Slow, terribile accuracy and severe dropoff. It's a fun one but not a good one. the fast pistols are great tho
Bobs and Vegana I personally like the Mle 1903 more than the M1911 cause i suck at aiming with pistols and i don't need power because my infantry rifles are enough for my pistols to 1 hit them.
May favourite is;
1-Mosin Nagant
2-1895 Russian
3-Lebel french
Best infantry rifle: Type 38 arisaka
Best sniper rifle: Gewehr 98 sniper
Best support gun: M1917 mg low weight
Best medic gun: farquhar hill
Best assault gun: Ribeyrolles 1918
That's it for me
perfect
/\ /\ thankxxxx
Perfection.
I have nearly the same, but I prefer the Parabellum MG14/17 Low Weight for its high rate of fire and killing power.
Perfect almost i like the Parabellum much more than the mg1917 browning
I play Frontlines and every weapon has a strength and weakness depending on the plan of attack and defense and map and so many more small things that I can’t list them all. I love support so this may sound bias but imo the best gun in the game is the Parabellum low weight and it’s not even close. Close proximity pray and spray. Midrange its laser beams and lights out.
Long range I spray so much lead its suppresses the living shiite out of everyone.
Yea I enjoy the Arisaka. And Automatico and Hellriegl. I love the Selbstadler marksman. Cool guns but not nearly as satisfying as spraying into piles of people with overwhelming Parabellum Justice!! LOL
Honestly can't do better than the smle mk 3
arisaka and lebel are better at least I like them both better for different reasons. Lebel has better sights and shoots faster, the arisaka is basically a complete upgrade aside from having 5 instead of 10 bullets in the mag.
Wouldn't call them "better". Lebels iron sight is the best imo, but the sweet spot on the SMLE is just so easy that it makes it "better"

battlefield_ Dog are you seriously implying that the M10 Hunter isn't the most OP shotgun?
Best troll weapon: Kolibri

If I'm gonna be honest, the Parabellum isn't that great of a Lmg.It kills incredibly quickly, but with the Parabellum's poor spread and recoil values, you can't exactly put this power to good use. One solution is to use the bipod, but you will make yourself a sniper's target and even then the recoil is still inconsistent.

No Hellriegel is try hard.

Malte Molin level is brutal
Tiny Toshiba In a good way
(My opinion)
Malte Molin pretty sure M1917 and ribeyrolles are not smgs
Azdie I know, I know that those guns are techinically carbines, but the game lists them as Smg's, so they are still suitable. But when it comes to TRADITIONAL smgs, then it is the Mp18 or Automatico
Malte Molin oh ok then, I get it
Got to be the SMLE
Hi, you didn't mention one of gewers biggest strength: it will at any distance ( to the chest) do a damage that guarantee you an assist that counts as kill. Keep doing a great job, i love your videos.
What about the lebel
Excellent capacity, good iron sights, decent rate of fire and effective between 50 - 87,5 meters, but the reload is terrible, the K-Bullet animations are terrible and the muzzle velocity is apparently worse than average.
Tiga but never use the K - bullets with it, it's really terrible
The lolz spectre , yes sir,! The LEBEL infantry! Drop them like flies!
The reaaon the k bullet is slow is because it used a tube magazine with a push down breach block which was activated by action on the bolt
The dirty Martini Henry
Smg is the MP18 trench
But I’m starting to love the Arisaca
Amazing dude,I love your videos keep up your hard work
Itsu At It! Glad you enjoyed it man! 😎👍
Enjoyed it too! I am going to write about your series on my website dangercomix.wordpress.com
I have 3 service stars with the gewehr 98 infantry at the moment
I’ve been saying this since 1918. Hejaz knew what was up.
The Lebel infantry is quite good as well and goes unnoticed quite a bit. Its my go to for infantry scout weapons.
Quick tip when reloading the SMLE with less than 5 rounds. Just press fire after the reload started and you will only load a stripper clip and no individual rounds.
It really all depends what map you're playing on, what class and even the people you're playing with on your team. Also what the apposite team is using in terms of class and weapons themselves. Oh and the game mode your playing. So taking all these factors into consideration, then and only then can you begin to decide what weapon truly is the best for that given situation.
My best weapons:
Infantry rifle - Martini-Henry/Arisaka
Sniper - Gewehr 98
SMG- MP18
Semi-auto - Cei-Rigotti
LMG - MG15 nA
Pistol - P08
i have never liked using the g98 for sniping it always seems to have a bit too much recoil on it
M95 was my favourite for a long time (100 ss) with MH a close second. I have to say the new Type 38 Arisaka is my new fave - it's pretty much almost a direct upgrade to the M95 and it has the best iron sights in the game IMO.

3:24 No Wilhelm Scream? What a disappointment.
Yep my findings not too different than yours...SMLE is a great infantry rifle. Gewerh 95 is also good. I've been experimenting and I like the arisaka and nagant quite well as the sights are nice. The Lebel however has a very fine sight and I like it quite well as an infantry gun. The SMLE is nice but sometimes the sight confuses me in the heat of battle and I actually aim with the side post by mistake and miss. The Lebels sight is open and comes to a crisp needle point. Very nice
Yeah… the sights are the weakest part of the smle. I’m not the biggest fan of the Mosin in bf1 but the sights are damn good
might be a lil bit late but: the n-block of the M95 ejects out of the bottom only when 4 rounds have been fired and the 5th one is chambered. if there is ammo left in the clip, the shooter has to take it out the way it came in: through the top
Infantry:Carcano M91
SMG:MP 18 Trench
Sniper:M1903 Sniper
LMG:MG 15 n.A. Low Weight
Medic:Fedorov Avtomoat Trench
Side Arm:Obrez or M1911
My fav rifles are
3. Gewehr M95
2. Lebel model 1886
1. SMLE III
I just love the Arisaka. Good rate of fire, and short range sweet spot so you can be aggressive.
Best assault smg? Automatico M1918. I mean really what else.
My top 3 rifles
3). Lebel Infantry, good damage, nice sweetspot, beautiful inron-sights well rounded overall.
2). SMLE MKIII enough said
1). Carcano, this thing is just so incredibly smooth to use, has 6 rounds over standard 5, may not 1 hit kill to body but the smoothness and speed allow for a fast 2nd killing shot.
Went to the shooting range with a friend who has the SMLE he let me shoot 10 rounds. Was magic, brass butt left the slightest of marks on my shoulder, the bolt action was perfect. Such a joy.
Wow can’t believe that the vertili vertali isn’t in this list. It fits the close range gameplay perfectly and still does good in long range.
Gewehr 95 takes the cake for me. No bullshit 100 dmg body shot kills. Snipers would already be ridiculously powerful with their 80~90dmg per shot. Fair gun. No sweetspot. Hoping the Ross Rifle comes into the game like this one.
My favourites are the M95 and the Carcano. The Carcano is better in every aspect but the M95 somehow feels better to shoot.
Loving the new Arisaka rifle. Very similiar to the SMLE i feel (not sure about stats wise) and very powerfull in a close to mid range fights. And i think it looks very good with the legendary skin.
Anyone else think the Type 38 Arisaka Infantry rifle is the best in the game?
Hunter Stanek best without a doubt. I've been a long time SMLE user since release. I haven't gone back to it since the Arisaka came out. My KPM went up 0.3 since switching to the Arisaka.
Carcano
Definitely not Alx, I like the Carcano too
Hands down best infantry rifle ... SMLE is crap especially the irons
Idk why, but it feels so good
The best Scout rifle is Ross MKIII
How about the gewehr 98?
3. Type 38
2. Lebel
1. Vitterli
Though I like to run with the Gewehr 98 infantry at times cause you can’t beat that muzzle velocity. Gewehr 98 is certainly my favorite with sniper scope.
Last night got the sawtooth knife, the sword and a bunch of weapon skins, I'm happy😁
+lyfeisgood 2018 😎👍
Hell yeah, last night I finally got my L'union Sacrée legendary skin for the Rybeyrolles that I longed for for so long... plus a bunch of other new skins...
Spetsnaz boris thanks
Radovan Ostrodický I finally got the sworgen for the double barrel the skin I wanted the most, plus the obrez and rifle skin
Radovan Ostrodický lucky😩 I’ve been buying pure superior packs to get that skin and I keep on getting the same ones except that one😓
Best pistol: 1911
Best smg: mp18
Best lmg: mg15n.a.low weight
Best medic rifle: autoloading 8.25 extended
Best shotgun: sjorgen inertial
Best revolver: auto revolver
Best scout rifle: personal preference and game play style play too big of a role for there to be a best but top three for me are
Close: martini henery
Medium: carcano
Long: gewehr 98
For me:
Best SMG - 1st Automatico :D (But Ribeyrolls is a Assault Rifle for me, and its best for class in many cases) 2nd Machinepistole 3rd MP18
Best Infantry Rifle - For me any of yours, i like SMLE but rather i using a 1st Arisaka, 2nd Nagant, 3rd Verteli carabine
Best Semi-Automatic rifle - 1st F Hill, 2nd Spel1906 / General Liu, 3rd Cei-Rigotti
Best Assault Rifles - 1st Ribeyrolles, 2nd Fedorov, 3rd Chachuchat / BAR (its maybe not clearly Assault rifles, but its a bit simillar to use and hit)
Best LMGs - 1st Parabellum 2nd Madsen MG 3rd M1917 MG / Perino 1908
for some reason i enjoy using the gewehr 98 infantry
Great vid Westie I'm a big fan of the martini. My favorite, thanks for includingthe community on the videos. Have a good one
For me its the Arisaka, then Martini Henry, then the SMLE
For me I prefer something with a clear set of iron sights if I am going to run with an infantry version. And for that you can't beat the Lebel. It's almost a needle point, allowing you to get really great head shots from a long distance. The only thing letting it down is the reload, and the borked animation if you need to reload just one round, which you can skip by cancelling using a switch to a pistol and back. The sound is also excellent.
I've never really been able to get used to the SMLE for some reason. Just can't seem to ever be in the band that allows a 1 hit kill. My choices would be 1 - Lebel, 2 - Arisaka, 3 - Martini Henry (mostly for the sound of it and it's 1 hit kill zone)
The SMLE Infantry is my best weapon according to my stats. I like to play with infantry variants in general because I am good with iron sights and it makes it harder for the enemy to locate my position. As Westie saide the SMLE has good sights, excellent accuracy, a perfect sweet spot in most cases, and the 10 round capacity means you can get multiples kills quickly. I also love the Lebel 1886 Infantry, but that's more of a personnal choice since I'm French. :)
love the gewher m95
most the tracking aim every shoot.
this weapon don't need re scope
1 - G95 Carbine, hit 100 service stars so definitely a favourite
2 - SMLE
3- Martini Henry
Never got to use any of the dlc smgs, so my choices are the autimatico, mp18, and hellriegel.
Leaving out unlock times and specific variants, the weapons all have their own niches. The automatico has a blisteringly fast ttk at point blank, but drops off fast and burns through ammo. The mag is also a bit obstructive. The hellriegel is easy to use, but its only amazing stat is its ammo capacity. All others are kust average. It also can't use a bayonet. I personally find the mp18 to be a good mix of the two. Decent ttk at all close ranges and 30 rounds, it is highly versatile. Just my opinion though.
I think the best msg in bf1 is the french (don’t know how to spell it) is the rebolles carbine because the recoil isn’t bad and for medium to long range it has a bipod. I think it’s about a 5 to 7 shot kill if you aim for the body and u can choose between semi auto and full auto depending on wether or not you are better at tap fire than holding the trigger. And it’s a 4 shot kill if you aim for the head.
My top 3 infantry rifles
1. Gewehr 98
2. Lebel 1886
3. Tie: SMLE & Mosin-Nagant
My Top 5
1. Type 38 Arisaka
2.Lebel infantry
3.SMLE MK.III infantry
4.Vetterli Vitali infantry
5.Carcano Carbine
I would like to see the MLE in the game have it in between the Russian 1895 and G98 infantry of course
The best infantry rifle is the vitali..just because it looks and sounds horrible doesn't mean do discredit it's very practical sweetspot range and 4-round-magazine
Mohamad Abdul Wahed It.loolks awesome. If aesthetics discredit a rifle the. G95 or arisaka should be the least used
DarkInfernape65 the arisaka looks really good imo
Mohamad Abdul Wahed The Vitali is a beautiful rifle what are you talking about? Also I like the rechambering animation since the rifle completely moves out of your view so you can stay on target
For me (depends on map/mode)
Lebel 1886 Inf. (Mid)
SMLE MKIII carabine (close)
Gewehr 98 Inf. (long)
Great picks Westie, but I would name 2 rifles for at least honorable mentions:
Gewehr 98 sniper, the fastest muzzle velocity makes it superb at long range sniping.
The newly instroduced Arisaka type 38, very consistent, good rof, good sweet spot range, not as dynamic as the SMLE, but still a very good rifle.
For the SMGs I would pick
Hellriegel factory/defensive
Automatico 1918 storm
Ribeyrolles or M1917 trench carbine
I love all the snippers but those 3 you listed are the best no doubt. As for the best smg, btw this is on consoles and my personal opinion. 1. Hellriegel because it is good at everything. 2. Ribeyrolles, I dont know what the damage stats are but still very reliable and has the bipod. 3. Mp18 trench, I am not good at hip firing so I like to ads that is why for me mp18 over the Automatico.
Best SMG is ribeyrolls for me. It has a good rate of fire, a bipod good for long range, fast reload. And if I fire on an enemy without aim of sight, I get always good hit. Mp18 is for the 2nd and 3th place the automatico
My list of best infantry rifles:
1. Arisaka
2. Lebel 1886
3. Martini Henry
4. Gewehr M95
5. Carcano
6. Mosin nagant
7. Russian 1895
8. Smle Mk III
9. Vertelli-vittaly
10. M1903
You may as well use Carbine variants wherever possible. Then again, my favourite has to be the Arisaka; it has a close sweet spot and a high muzzle velocity.
I have to say the Steyr-Mannlicher M95 (Gewehr M95) is my favorite infantry rifle.
Westie it’s so exciting to hear that there will be a new bf1 series, also please do some more bf1 weapon history! (They are my favorite!!!!) My favorite smg is probably the automatico m1918 because the no need to aim. Thx for hearing me out!
Skilled players will enjoy the Martini-Henry...literally anyone could be a God with it at the launch pre nerf, anyone who remembers?
Russian is not only my favorite infantry rifle but favorite gun overall
The rate of fire outdoes the smle and the iron sights let you pull off incredible long shots
+ it’s beautiful
I still think the Viterli Vitali is the best infantry rifle in the game because it has the nearest sweet spot. While the rate of fire and muzzle velocity let it down a little bit, but it makes up for that by allowing me to PTFO and engage enemies at close distances.
I personally like the Mosin-Nagant Infantry, I really like the high muzzle velocity, and the iron sights are ones I can actually use, unlike a lot of the infantry rifles
Mabeye best Carbine next( please)
Guys I love play with gew98 infantry it's very fun to play. Suffer from low damages on close combat but I can kill all others sniper on distance becose thay don't expect me to have ge98 with iron scope
I use the moundragon in the medic class. its been my favorite and I just like the gun feels.
My goto bolt action rifle is the Gewehr 98 marksmen. Not sure why I use this one more but the MM variant is on the top of my kills list. This may not seem like much given that a lot of people tend to use one gun that ends up with more kills then then all the other guns in the game combined but I am more of a "use whatever random gun I feel like today" person.
Best infantry: carcano
Best Sniper: Mosin Nagant Marksman
Best Smg: Ribey
Best Lmg: up for debate
Best self loading: General liu
Best Shotgun: Double Barrel
At least the Gewehr M.95 is up there, it's my preferred rifle on the scout class
You don't have to scope out when working the bolt on infantry and carbine variants
I was going to argue about the SMLE, but after listening to the rationale I would actually agree. Full disclosure, the Gewehr M.95, Martini-Henry, and SMLE are my favourite Infantry rifle anyway (ordered from best to worst), but it also really comes down to personal preference. Still doesn't change my mind though: I much prefer the open sights and high rate of fire on the Gewehr vs the SMLE, and the high damage of the Martini vs the SMLE, hence why the SMLE is in 3rd place for me
Best scout rifle is Martini Henry takes some getting used to though
Best medic is new farqhuar hill great all round weapon
Best assault is whatever you can find lying about coz they are all dreadful
Support just get something big and heavy,Perino maybe.
Remember the bartek is just bit of tree and that works!
For me the M95 infantry is far better than the SMLE infantry.
If you like SMLE go for the Marksman version, the infantry version has confusing iron sight.
You already use the infantry version, that means aggressive playstyle and close range gunfight, the M95 have more consistent damage and faster firerate.
radium sight is even worse than original sight¯\_(ツ)_/¯Its a personal thing, I already said for me.
GET - 999 the g95 feels terrible. Sounds weak, the actions seems weak and so on. The smle feels,looks and performs solid
Yeah
feels sounds looks SO WEAK.
man good for you
I love that we all get to have our own opinions on what the best gun is and none of us are truly wrong. And no, that is not sarcasm.
Cant agree more. My most kills scout rifle is SMLE Marksman version, I dont hate it.
But when I need to play aggressive as a scout, I tried many infantry or carbine versions, the M95 has the best efficiency.
Its a teamplay weapon, I only need good accuracy to get 1hit and my teammates get another hit, we all get kill. Or I have 1 follow shot with no matter my rifle or pistol or melee. Its really fast.
Seems like the vetterli is underrated, honestly for me it's the best infantry rifle, it has the best sweetspot for close engagements and quite comfortable to use
The Arisaka replaced all the marksman variants for me. The only other sniper i would swap it out for is the Gewehr 98 for super long range counter sniping. If the iron sights on the Arisaka were a smidgen better it would be the ultimate scout rifle imo.
The Arisaka has blown me away lately. For me, it's a perfect in between SMLE and M.95 with good speed and a nice sweetspot.
Russian 1895 Trench is by far my favorite Scout weapon in the game. 2nd would be the Carcana tied with the M1903 experimental. Though, the Trench is just so fun to use.
I don't play Assault so nothing there.
Favorite Medic Gun is a tie between RSC Factory and Fedorav, depends if I wanna feel like I'm using skill or just going an easy route.
Favorite Support weapon is the Perino... the one without the optic. Not much of a second place here.
It would be cool if you haven't ran out of rounds in a clip in the GEWEHR M.95 that your hand would come up and cach the clip so when you need spare rounds you still have that clip with other rounds in it at ready.
Honestly... I can't seem to let go of the type 38 arisaka and mosin nagant. They (to me) feel sooooo good in the game.
Awesome video Westie! I love to use both the Martini Henry and the Lee Enfield, they are my favorite weapons in the scout class and they see a lot of usage. As someone who has a long family history of service in the British Military; a Great Great Grandfather killed at Gallipoli, another Great Great Grandfather killed in the Battle of the Somme and a Great Grandfather who fought and survived the Battle of Jutland. I am so glad to see that these two legendary British rifles got the notoriety that they deserve.
Now I'm really hoping that one of the new weapons to be released in the Apocalypse dlc will be the British standard issue Webley Mk. VI Revolver. Especially if it is going to be about some of the notorious battles of WW1 like the Battle of the Somme.
Hey Westie! Polite, intelligent and precise commentary. I'm always eager to watch your newest BF1 video. Can't wait for your choices on the medic rifles, and your coverage on the upcoming Apocalypse DLC!
My fav infantry rifle in the game has to be the new Carcano m91 carbine.... say what you want about it's damage model, with irons, I don't want to snipe people 2 000 meters away... I want to stick with the team and for that I need high damage up close, for which is this rifle alongside the Gewehr m.95 ideal... I was running with this rifle the other day and had most flags captured....
Finally someone points out that the Vetterli- Vitali is the best. I really liked the Martini-Henry but i really just dont use it as much. My favorite is the Vetterli-Vitali. I love it. So satisfying.
my favourite is the lawrence of arabia. does it differ from the basic smle mark 3?
One of most favorite sniper in BF1 is clearly Russian 1895. It is personally one of my best rifle i have most used in every game, i can hit everyone with the rifle easily and has quick rate of fire, makes you feel like a western marksman. Second to my favorite is Gewehr 98.
I do love the SMLE Mk. III. Both in BF1 and irl. Mine is a 1917 LSA built Mk. III with the magazine cutoff. I was actually kinda happy to find a Mk. III and not a MK. III* since the standard Mk. III has the magazine cutoff and is rather interesting to me
*It's clearly the Italian Villar Perosa*
I'm kidding, I think it is either the Hellriegel or the MP 18, I find that the French Ribeyrolles as more of an assault rifle, as it has more range and has a bipod, plus the size of the weapon itself is a little too large to be an smg.
The Martini-Henry isn't a lever-action. It has a lever, but if I'm remembering correctly it's considered a falling-block action.
