While nothing like the longer-range rifles, as long as you\u2019re a good shot and can hit the head or vital organ you\u2019ll be able to take down targets on Sniper Elite difficulty with a single shot. This assumes you\u2019re within about 300 meters; the effective range of the Gewehr 1943 is 400 meters, so you\u2019ll start seeing damage dropoffs much sooner than the m.1903, for example. It\u2019ll also be heard at 149 meters, which is not an insignificant audible range for a semi-auto rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gewehr 1943: Stealthiest configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Quiet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Quiet-1400x788.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Quiet-1400x788.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Quiet-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Quiet-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Quiet.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Gewehr 1943&#8217;s stealthiest configuration<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you just change out the muzzle brake for a suppressor and swap the magazine off the overpressure option you\u2019ll come out much, much quieter: a 46 meter audible range is fantastic for a rifle, but the damage does drop to 99 HP; you\u2019d better make sure you make your shots count, and pass on the longer-range shots. The muzzle velocity itself drops down to a paltry 670 m\/s in this configuration, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gewehr 1943: Recommended configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Recommended.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Recommended-1400x788.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Recommended-1400x788.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Recommended-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Recommended-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gewehr1943-Recommended.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Gewehr 1943&#8217;s recommended &#8220;best&#8221; configuration<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take the high-damage configuration and swap the brake for the Hub 32 suppressor you end up with an extremely usable and versatile rifle that will serve you well within about 350 meters. You\u2019ll retain the 125 HP damage and reduce your noise level down to 67 meters, which is very usable here. Additionally, your muzzle velocity barely drops in this configuration, losing less than 40 m\/s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gewehr 1943: general thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall the Gewehr 1943 is a solid mid-range semi-auto rifle. The damage, while only wounding when it comes to limb-shots at Sniper Elite difficulty, is still usable, and the rifle is also very friendly for closer-range engagements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest downside here is that you\u2019re limited on optics; you\u2019re either going to be using a 6x scope, a 3x scope, or iron sights. While there is a night-vision option, it too is only a 6x zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This rifle isn\u2019t designed for longer range engagements, though, so take this if you want to get close and quiet while still having some medium-range engagement options; throw in soft point and subsonic ammo and you\u2019ll be all set to explode some Nazi testicles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you prefer a faster rate of fire over extreme range and damage, but not so much that you can\u2019t actually \u201csnipe\u201d, the Gewehr 1943 might just be your rifle.
