I think they should provide more points towards your team for playing the part of a scout, spotting people and interception kills of approaching enemies near flags or squads on your team. This might help.
@@toataua1499 I wish they had a bonus to spot times so people would actually spot enemies and it could help the team. If not for the flare, they basically help the team very minimally and already occupy a niche that has competition with bipod lmg map sniping
Maybe for noobs but I’m a M1903 Sniper master on PS4 and I play where I want to. In the back sure, up front sure, but I aim for the head period. Fuck the sweet spot
Ive found that the first weapon I use for an extended period of time becomes my "favorite" or "best" Personally, I prefer the Russian 1895 Sniper, simply because I have the most kills and the most time put into it, making me more comfortable with it. Ive tried the Gewehr, It was alright, tried Lebel, Mosin, and Gewehr 95, but none of them felt right, so I went back to what i was familiar with
I absolutely dove the 1917 enfield silenced it has the magnification of a sniper variant and it feels so much more steady so you aren’t dependent on a bipod which is just a death sentence because we all know what happens when you prone for longer than two seconds
Thanks for still making these videos even knowing that the final DLC has been released and most RUclipsrs that report news about battlefield are focusing on battlefield 2018
Westie probably should’ve started this series after the TTK update because I feel like the weapon choices might have been different for the first few weapon categories.
These are mine 3. Arisaka Type 38 Patrol 2. Ross MkIII Infantry 1. Veterrli Vitali Infantry (For now, I got the game recently) Martini-Henry here I come
Mosin Nagant Infantry suits me the best, i like the sights, the rate of fire, and the perfect range for countersniping if needed... albiet you may get a bit of 80 damage instead of the 100 needed, but im good at getting the headshots and follow up shots in before they know what hit them
They are all different, my fav would be the Gewehr 95 which is the weakest out of all of them and has no sweet spot but it is so satisfying to use for some reason no matter how weak it is compared to the other rifles 🤗
M 1903 have VERY slow bullet speed... 98k is less lethal but you shoot running enemy's much more often. M1903 would be good if they will do some real life stuff like smoking, eating, taking bath... Then you can aim and shoot the same spote enemy is. Otherwise it's very hard to aim at long range...because ppl usually don't run strait ahead and with same speed all the way on battlefield.
I’ve been in love with the Russian 1895 since the beta, that fire rate is beautiful, other than that I’m not totally sure why I love it, it just feels so awesome
The Gewehr 98 and the Lebel 1886 are also my two favourite sniper rifles in BF1. I am a little bit surprised that the Russian 1895 doesn´t appear among the Top 3.
No it's just the camper loadout a noob never hit a shot with the 40X A noob goes to operation locker and rush b with the P90 I known I'm playing to much csgo
I’m not a scoped rifle fan sure I’ll pull out the 98 if some recon is annoying from a distance but apart from that I’m either using the martini infantry because I like how you only have one shot at a time so you have to think about what you’re shooting at. The other rifle I love is the label infantry for basically the same reasons you said in this video I just love the feel, how it handles and because I rarely see other people use it.
4:56 ah, I used to go ham with the lebel infantry during the French DLC and a bit into the Russian DLC, lovely gun, I've gotten point blank range hip fire kills with it a couple times
I'm not a particular fan of martini Henry, most people use it because it is a "fancy" weapon, I mean, you can only use it from level 10 in sniper. Another reason people use it is because of the sound it makes. Of course one hit kill is nice but I prefere long distance weapons as ariska.
my favorites are the lebel infantry for moderate range... the 1903 marksman for longer range. I hate having a freaking laser beam shining out of my eyeball lol
the reloading animation of the lebel still doesnt match the bullet count in the bottom right corner, so you have to animation cancel everytime you reload otherwise you waste so much time
Martini Henry Sniper here - M95 after that. Martini is slow yeah and Ross might be better, but the sound and sweetspot works for me rly well! Just add something: Martini might look week, but its the most fun rifle with the hardest difficulty.
I know this is off topic but I want to say that they need to remove the experimental variant of the 1903 and replace it with the infantry variant, the Springfield is supposed to chamber the 30-06, not the .45 ACP.
The new rifle, ARISAKA.... is by far the best all-round scout rifle right now... as you get essentially all the feautures from Long range & Close range scout rifles... if u want to be extremly agressive close range then you can do so as its sweetspot is similar to Martini Henry but even longer, it also has far better reticule/iron sights, more bullets for follow ups and has very smooth & fast bolt action animation, it actually the best close range rifle.... over long range outside its sweetspot it does max damage as any other scout rifle (80), the sound is amazing (only Henry sounds nicer) and looks better than any other rifle with the correct skin...
Man I wish I could use the martini sniper like you....my favorite scout rifle in the game is the Mosin Nagant. Both variants are right up my alley for sniping and playing infantry
This was a great video Westie, good on ya, but has anyone else's ranks been reset to 0? Still got everything and can choose from all weapons in game, in the customize screen though it's all 0's and level 1 stuff to choose from...perfect timing for that Red Tide campaign..
How'd you get the Liège (grey distinguished skin) for the gewehr 98? I took a break from bf1 for a little while and I've yet to see any of the new Vanilla weapon skins in packs? Thanks
Ross is the best sniper you can use in the game right now I think. The best part of this gun is its quick scope in/out - those are the things that other snipers cannot offer.
I'm surprised that the Russian 1895 didn't show up on this list. While I don't use it much anymore, more or less because I prefer the M 98 sniper personally.
long range: G98
mid range: Martini
short range: Carcano
Couldn’t agree more
M1903 or M1917 Enfield where?
The rocket gun is the best sniper rifle 😂
Matthew Murphy truth has spoken
Matthew Murphy XD
Lol i always say that too. Just count the drop and splash damage will do it
Head shots are ultra satisfaction
Matthew Murphy nope tankengrewer
I was surprised the Russian 1895 (sniper) didn't make it.
harman Singh me too, I get killed by that rifle a lot
David Root Bellamy same
That's my best weapon ^^, shame i didn't make it
I use the gewher 98 sniper and it does a tiny bit more damage and is a bit faster and is easier to aim with
I use the trench varient. I am weird
Shoutout to all the scouts on conquest and operations who lose us the damn game
I think they should provide more points towards your team for playing the part of a scout, spotting people and interception kills of approaching enemies near flags or squads on your team. This might help.

@@toataua1499 it doesn't work if ALL of them are scouts
A little late, but I win games with spotting and flares
me pushing with a mosin: :(
M1903 sniper for people who stay on the map's edge
Pirulo Sagace ibuse the m1903 but I’m on the flag
Maybe for noobs but I’m a M1903 Sniper master on PS4 and I play where I want to. In the back sure, up front sure, but I aim for the head period. Fuck the sweet spot
SamTheFailure Is sexy af which variant do you use? The sniper?
Shadow 21Sixty1 i hate the people who stay on the map's edge for example in the empire's edge or FAO fortress, monte grappa
Shadow 21Sixty1 yea lol I’ve run into you in cape helles, you called me out for missing a headshot remember?
The tank ghever anti tank rifle is the best sniper
but it's not a sniper tho
Nikith Boyapati you can definitely snipe people with it
Well I mean you're not wrong
A "sniper" is the guy who shoots with a "sniper" RIFLE...why do gamers allways get that detail wrong 😏
Geist aka the amazing Infidel Are you stupid? Sniper is a shorter version of sniper rifle. Like I’m instead of I am.
4:00 Mortar right on his head lol.
crazy, if i hit a scout for 80% they are gone, westie who are these guys that just sat there and waited for the follow up?
Everyone vote KOLIBRI as BEST WEAPON. Because it's obviously the best.
It was banned from the ballot because it's so OP
i hate how it one shots behemoth
regular_dyson_vacuum_user
Honestly though. Super annoying
Stop with that shitty joke
Joseph Cola 8 headshot kill? Yea definitely
The beginning with the martini henry sniper had my hopes up
Ive found that the first weapon I use for an extended period of time becomes my "favorite" or "best" Personally, I prefer the Russian 1895 Sniper, simply because I have the most kills and the most time put into it, making me more comfortable with it.

Whoa this was my exact top 3! Well done everyone :D
I’m going to start playing “historically”, as in I use faction class weapons for said certain faction.
Epuc
Any Lebel fan here?
Andrea Musso Present
Andrea Musso I like the Lebel
Andrea Musso represent
Andrea Musso nah fam, im a 1903 experimental fan
Here:)
I love the M95, though firing long range ends up feeling like you are trying to hit a target with plunging fire from an artillery shell.
Thanks for still making these videos even knowing that the final DLC has been released and most RUclipsrs that report news about battlefield are focusing on battlefield 2018
1.Martini Henry Infantry
2.Lebel Model Infantry
3.Ross
4.M1903 Sniper
5.Gewehr 98 Sniper
Westie probably should’ve started this series after the TTK update because I feel like the weapon choices might have been different for the first few weapon categories.
Hunter Stanek and with the inclusion of Apocalypse weapons.
Iuhlhi
These are mine
3. Arisaka Type 38 Patrol
2. Ross MkIII Infantry
1. Veterrli Vitali Infantry (For now, I got the game recently)
Martini-Henry here I come
Imo. Sniper: 1903
Marksman: SMLE, G95, Ross, Mosin
Infantry: G95, Lebel, Ross
Yeah arisaka patrol fits in there somewhere.
Mosin Nagant Infantry suits me the best, i like the sights, the rate of fire, and the perfect range for countersniping if needed... albiet you may get a bit of 80 damage instead of the 100 needed, but im good at getting the headshots and follow up shots in before they know what hit them
I like playing scout so much because picking off players without them knowing where you are is so satisfying
they should disable killcam but show the name and class of player who kill you tho
If you use a lense they probably know where you are, you need a iron sight to stay undercover
I think your the best Battlefield commentator
NighttimeJosh2 No, you are
Jack
Nah Modest Pelican Gaming
Nice video Wes! Really enjoying these, it's cool to see the interaction with the community to decide the best gun! :D
I play pretty aggressively with the 1903 and in my opinion it works pretty well for that, even without a short range sweet spot.
They are all different, my fav would be the Gewehr 95 which is the weakest out of all of them and has no sweet spot but it is so satisfying to use for some reason no matter how weak it is compared to the other rifles 🤗
M 1903 have VERY slow bullet speed... 98k is less lethal but you shoot running enemy's much more often. M1903 would be good if they will do some real life stuff like smoking, eating, taking bath... Then you can aim and shoot the same spote enemy is. Otherwise it's very hard to aim at long range...because ppl usually don't run strait ahead and with same speed all the way on battlefield.
Ross rifle!
Why couldn't bf1 add the 1903 INFANTRY???
I really love the Ross. It's definitely become my favorite.
My top is
5: carcano
4:martiny
3: ross
2: mosin nagant
1: gewer 95
I’ve been in love with the Russian 1895 since the beta, that fire rate is beautiful, other than that I’m not totally sure why I love it, it just feels so awesome
I do think you have to do the SMG's again now that the fire rate on the SMG 08 has been changed
Martini-Henry Infantry Kills are so satisfying tho, especially far range.
The Gewehr 98 and the Lebel 1886 are also my two favourite sniper rifles in BF1. I am a little bit surprised that the Russian 1895 doesn´t appear among the Top 3.
DarthAndredu He was nerd that why i think
The SMLE Infantry is my choice for mid-combat stealth. (For picking off enemies for support, suppressing snipers, chipping tanks, and spotting.)
Good damage up to chest high, decent iron sights, medium sized mag.
I just started playing bf1 2 weeks ago.. I have played 22 hours and i am level 77. I cant put the game down! Too much fun.
i got the game a few months back and im level 50 on snipers lmao
_ Abeo _ level 2 lol ;p i haven't used any
Westin you could continue this series by doing best revolver, best tank, best plane, best elite class.
That Ross is a monster. played 4 days (just some hours)got 4 Stars on it. It srsly can wipe out crowds...
I'm still waiting for the Springfield Infantry, without having to be in a custom server.
1903 is very effective with aggressive play style as well, my #1.
Long range: M1903
Mid range: SMLE MkIII
Short range: Martini Henry
My personal favourite was the Gewehr 98 Marksman. The Ross rifle might steal that spot though with it's high rate of fire and shorter sweet spot.
Extremely quickly is the srr 61
2000+M/S
With the 40X scope
AKA the Camping Noob Loadout
No it's just the camper loadout a noob never hit a shot with the 40X
A noob goes to operation locker and rush b with the P90
I known I'm playing to much csgo
David Pires I was more of a m98B fan (aka the G98 in BF1)
I’m not a scoped rifle fan sure I’ll pull out the 98 if some recon is annoying from a distance but apart from that I’m either using the martini infantry because I like how you only have one shot at a time so you have to think about what you’re shooting at. The other rifle I love is the label infantry for basically the same reasons you said in this video I just love the feel, how it handles and because I rarely see other people use it.
Which skin are you using for the Gewehr 98 in the video?
4:56 ah, I used to go ham with the lebel infantry during the French DLC and a bit into the Russian DLC, lovely gun, I've gotten point blank range hip fire kills with it a couple times
I'm not a particular fan of martini Henry, most people use it because it is a "fancy" weapon, I mean, you can only use it from level 10 in sniper. Another reason people use it is because of the sound it makes. Of course one hit kill is nice but I prefere long distance weapons as ariska.
Play it at half speed, Westie sounds like after some shots XD
I love the new snipers that came out in the Apoc dlc, but i agree the Gewehr 98 is the best in my opinion
my favorites are the lebel infantry for moderate range... the 1903 marksman for longer range. I hate having a freaking laser beam shining out of my eyeball lol
I’m loving the Level and Martini.
But yeah I’ll grab the 1903 for long range
the reloading animation of the lebel still doesnt match the bullet count in the bottom right corner, so you have to animation cancel everytime you reload otherwise you waste so much time
Martini Henry Sniper here - M95 after that. Martini is slow yeah and Ross might be better, but the sound and sweetspot works for me rly well!
Just add something: Martini might look week, but its the most fun rifle with the hardest difficulty.
The martini Henry noise is like eargasm
98 is definitely a great choice, but if you have the dlc, I would recommend the Ross MKIII, because it has great range and power.
I know this is off topic but I want to say that they need to remove the experimental variant of the 1903 and replace it with the infantry variant, the Springfield is supposed to chamber the 30-06, not the .45 ACP.

Martini Infantry/SMLE Mksman/Model 10-A Hunter
SMLE Carbine close to mid,1886 iron sights same short-Mid when I play aggressive for long 98 or 1886
The Tank Gewehr is my favorite sniper in the game. Shocked people didn't choose that one
For me my top 3 are M95, Martini, and Type 38 Arisaka. I'm an up-close and personal sniper :D
The different sniper rifles are better on certain maps and ranges. Its smart to switch between them in a match.
Hey westie I consider the mosin nagant a bit more iconic than the gewehr 98
Man I wish I could use the martini sniper like you....my favorite scout rifle in the game is the Mosin Nagant. Both variants are right up my alley for sniping and playing infantry
What's the difference between a infantry rifle and a sniper?
Awesome video as always
This was a great video Westie, good on ya, but has anyone else's ranks been reset to 0? Still got everything and can choose from all weapons in game, in the customize screen though it's all 0's and level 1 stuff to choose from...perfect timing for that Red Tide campaign..
I honestly wanted to see a poll for the Best Revolver
Yup mine: Lebel infantry, Ghwer 95 infantry, SMLE Marksman
super enjoyable gameplay clips. this operation is great.
What’s the song you use at the begging and the end of the video?
The lebel and M1903 are my boogaloo guns
FAV: SMLE Carbine / M95 Infantry
Do you ever play hardcore ? What’s your thoughts and opinions on hardcore going forward to bf18 ?
would you say the same for the carbine and infantry variants of these?
This video helped me sooooo much finally a video that actually helps♥️👍🏻
M95, Russian 1895, Ross, Carcano, Arisaka, Lebel, my fav snipers lol
Ross MKIII Infantry is pretty dope
How'd you get the Liège (grey distinguished skin) for the gewehr 98? I took a break from bf1 for a little while and I've yet to see any of the new Vanilla weapon skins in packs? Thanks
Ross is the best sniper you can use in the game right now I think. The best part of this gun is its quick scope in/out - those are the things that other snipers cannot offer.
I just got the Anniversary pack for Battlefield, and was wondering what the best snipers in Hardline and Battlefield 4 were. Any opinions?
My personal favourite is the SMLE infantry.
But the Mosin and M917 Enfield are nice 👌🏼
My longest headshot is 511.25 m .
I got the guy on the AA gun on the new airship.
It took me 6 bullets or more tho, but the shup was moving
Kristjan Prodan for me 522m ^^
Springfield 1903, M917 Enfield, Lebel, Gewher 98, and the Mosin-Nagat.
Do this series for vehicles
Surprised the model 10A slug didnt make the list
I think the SMLE is the best overall, the martini infantry is my favorite, but the new Ross rifle is a good contender
I love the lebel personally, but it is almost impossible to use k bullets with, having the double chambering animation.
The 98 and the henry are my personal favorite
Smg 08/18, Hellriegel, Automatico(or the mp1912 before the nerf)
The Arisaka type 38 is my personal favourite
I'm surprised that the Russian 1895 didn't show up on this list. While I don't use it much anymore, more or less because I prefer the M 98 sniper personally.
1 - Ross
2 - 1903 Sniper
3 - SMLE Infantry
What magnification should I use Westie on my 98 gewer
The Lebel 1886 sniper is the best to make feed, rush and no scope with smle mk3
Can we have a worst weapons video?? Love your content
How do you know the bullet velocities? Is there some way to see it in game?
The Mosin-Nagant is a badass too.
