The MP44 didn't kick one bit. It's alot like shooting a AK-47.
The Mauser cartridge is a 7.92X57mm round.
The MP44 cartridge is a 7.92X33mm round.

Less powder so less kick. It was a fun rifle to shoot. Those crazy germans sure know a good idea when they get one.

And the Brown Bess kicks like a mule. I tried the Buck and Ball combo. 110 grains of powder, followed by paper patch, then the .75 Caliber ball, then three .45 caliber balls. It kicks like a mule and it's about as accurate as a shotgun. No wonder why they get into pretty lines and than shoot at one another from a distant of 30 feet.

Has anyone ever, ever had a buttstock slipping due to massive recoil and hitting them in the nose? a couple of days ago my mosin carbine gave me one hell of a blood nose when kneeling. It hard to keep that rifle straight i tell you.

Eh, nothing to get too excited about. You'll fiind that it'll be pretty rare that you just blat away with the f88 or f89. You'll mainly be asked to fire 2-3 round controlled bursts. When you get to do yippie shoots though the burn of the excess ammo at the end of an ex you can go nuts (within limits of course).

As for getting hit with the butt of the rifle: No.
The F88 scope: Yes (Damn LF4)

I want a MG3 but the BATF (Bureau Of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) has made it illegal to important any firearm part kits after 8-5-2005. It's in my opinion the perfect GPMG. It works and it fires the 7.62X51mm cartridge.

The only thing better than the MG3 is best firearm made by God...err...John Browning.
