The Mosin Nagant model 91 was adapted by the Tsarist Imperial Russian Army in 1891, and fought it's first major war during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Sniper kills, like aerial combat kills (dog-fights between war planes) are OFTEN exaggerated. As any real hunter will state; game (targets-aircraft, enemy soldiers, etc.) are often killed and the hunter/sniper/pilot never knew it; or the hunter/sniper/pilot often thought he killed his target and it turns out he never even hit it. Often times, more than one projectile (bullet) is flying towards the target, and multiple snipers/hunters/pilots CLAIM the same kill. This was one of the main reasons gun camera's were installed on fighter planes during WW2, continuing on thru the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Pilots will exaggerate...PHOTOS WON'T NORMALLY LIE. In defense of the Snipers/Hunters/Pilots, they often reported what they believed to be true during the "excitement" of the kill; thus the term "exaggeration." The US Army's XM-21 (M14 rifle) Sniper Rifle (officially called the sniper system) in Vietnam, used the 3 X 9 adjustible range finding Redfield scope for daytime use and had a maximum effective range of approximately 900 meters. The US Marines used a bolt action hunting rifle. Keeping in mind, the principle of "exaggeration", see website on Soviet sniper Valsily Zaytsev, who used the 1891 Nagant rifle in WW2.
