Coming in at the halfway point we’ve got the Mosin-Nagant, a bolt-action service rifle that appears in both Metal Gear Solid and Sniper Elite. In Metal Gear Solid 3, you obtain the gun by defeating The End non-lethally who was all set to use it against you.

And if it’s good enough for the legendary Ancient Sniper of the Cobra Unit, it’s surely good enough for you.

The bolt-action rifle has a five round magazine, is impressively accurate, and an excellent choice if you’re keen to snipe your way through Snake Eater as much as possible. In Sniper Elite where the Mosin-Nagant is a staple of the series, it’s equally impressive. Its stats are better than any other gun in the game and while the reload time might try your patience, its high muzzle velocity, high damage, and every single other thing about it makes it just about the best weapon choice in Sniper Elite.
