WH082 - The Sniper Team (2 figures) Conte American Revolution Muskets are smoothbore weaponsOur sniper here is firing the "Gewehr 43" a semi automatic rifle that owes some of its development to the earlier Soviet 'Tokarev SVT 40'. It fired the same 7. 92mm round as the K98 and had a 10 round box magazine. Kneeling alongside our sniper is his 'Spotter' observing the enemy and selecting targets.
