Bizarre, dangerous and cheap, the Obrez fit a specific niche in post-WWI Russia. Battlefield 1 showcases the weapon, weird quirks, and why it was, well - Russian. #battlefield #battlefield1
Yeah, the noise is one thing. But do you know how fucking *bright* the muzzle flash would be? My dad cut down his Mosin barrel two inches short of the traditional infantry length, and that shit looked like a Russian Flashbang in the dead of night. I can’t even imagine how bright, or loud an Obrez would be in a dark cramped tunnel.
I had some dipshit once try to tell me the Obrez wasn't a historical weapon because it was "destroying government property," which tells me he doesn't actually understand any part of what the Revolution was fought over.
@@dsheshin it was during a civil war so everything would have gotten just a bit rarer to som extent, I did get somethings wrong though. Obrez was favored because: Mosins being abundant Small arms of high calibre
Could you imagine shooting a .303 or 762.54r in a 3 foot tunnel out of a 1 inch barrel no less... you'd be lucky not to have the tunnel collapse on you
A 762.54mm round would be over 30" - almost double the caliber of the guns on an Iowa-class Battleship. A 3 foot tunnel isn't but 36" tall. It would clear out the enemy troops like a cleaner down an oil pipe. (I know you meant 7.62x54mmR, but the idea of a massive round being fired, so big the tunnel is practically its barrel, was utterly irresistible to me)
@@ocnarf40 To be fair, caliber can also refer to the length of the barrel relative to the diameter of the shell fired. For instance, a 40mm/60 autocannon is 60 caliber, but fires a 40mm shell. I wouldn't want to be near either end of a weapon that fires a 50" shell. All that recoil energy has to go somewhere, and that's ideally somewhere I am not.
@@namenotfound614 IRL I would agree. Ingame stats, 390m/s with 12m/s^2 drop and 45 damage to the chest beyond 35 meters, on vanilla servers can one hit body at 10m and head at 30m. On severs with 2x damage or 1/2 hp it is still deadly if you can hit at range.
@@rhysgoodman7628I SWEAR after getting the Peacekeeper, I could hear new audio on the maps with the Phantom Program related Easter Eggs. Also, the Peacekeeper is statistically just like the 1890 Gasser (whatever it’s called. It’s in the Assault class) but it fires twice as fast from the hip and has higher headshot kill range.

Give an American a saw and a souble barrel shotgun: Sawed off shotgun. Give a Russian a saw and a Mosin Nagant: And you get a bolt action pistol. Ain't that something?
I own a Mosin. Cutting it down that short would leave the round poking out as soon as you chambered it. At that point it basically a gun shaped flashbang.
@@wooblydooblygod3857 Yes and no. They did cut the barrels down and make obrez pistols, but it wasn't all the way to the chamber as shown. Give them about 3 more inches and you have a true obrez.
BF1 was peak battlefield. Managed to bring everyone from different fps games together while simultaneously making sure everyone had a great time playing it. Yeah it was easier to get into than bf3 or 4 or he’ll even bc2, but u can’t deny that bf1 really hit the mark on many aspects
The Obrez was also a really bad idea for even the most desperate of circumstances. A full rifle round being shot out of a pistol is nothing short of painful, so at that point, you are better off just salvaging a different weapon or improvising a new one.
It's so light that if you shoot it one-handed you'll hit yourself in the face with it Bullet will be tumbling and will have 0 penetration (not like they had bodyarmor, but still)
there WAS nothing else, that's the whole point. also it's not 'the obrez' it's AN obrez. obrez literally means sawn off, which can refer to ANY sawn off
They were also often kept as pistols by civilians because actual revolvers or semi auto pistols were very expensive, while mosins could be found for very low prices
Was doing a take and hold in Hotdogs Horse Shoes and Hand Grenades when I opened the gun case and my first gun that round was the Mosin pistol. I cannot believe just how well it works as a close quarters pistol😂
Sawn-off mosins were popular during the Revolution, and there was plenty of ways to make it, the one shown in BF 1 is less common way, since it's probably one of the most uncomfortable things, but still possible, and probably used when the concealment was a priority. But usually, they were cut similar to sawn-off double barrel shotguns - shortened barrel, no stock, with the remaining wooden parts intact, so it was held relatively similar to a rifle. Such variant of obrez is shown well in the game Hunt: Showdown, sometimes the barrel was cut even a little bit longer than that, but mostly they looked the way shown in this game
Anyone remember using the K bullets to pull this thing out back when pistols only came out? Good times, you'd always have someone screaming it was cheating.
Also worth noting is that the bullet literally doesn’t get spun enough to be ballistically stable and tumbles sideways through the air. Garland thumb has a vid on it where they proved this. Makes them incredibly inaccurate but brutal if you actually hit your target.
Similar to the Mosin Nagant Obrez Pistol, the British Tunnellers use the Sawn-Off SMLE during Tunnel Operations but as Flakfire noted, mostly secondaries like pistols were mostly used. The Sawn-Off SMLE is only seen in Blackmill & M2H's WW1 Game Series, Verdun.
