======================================
Well done for reaching the bottom of the description! :D

[@Westie]

This is technically Battlefield 1's first Assault Rifle... does it fill the void that perhaps has been missing from the weapon line up? I think it adds something unique to the Medic class overall - let me know your thoughts! 😀👍

[@Capttully-vy2sf]

Westie no, it wasn't missing if you can consider the M1907 sl sweeper automatic setting, if this gun was single fire ( sl sweeper) then it was missing the whole time

[@zergrevolution1831]

Westie I think it helps the medic class be aggressive and have a fighting chance

[@marcopadovano5540]

It's basically one of the best weapons in the game, this dlc introduced unique weapons

[@zergrevolution1831]

Westie do a guide for the parabellum low weight

[@mattallen8783]

Westie trying to get it now lol

[@MangooseHorchata]

While medics are running around with WW1 assault rifles, I'm still waiting for a revive

[@Capttully-vy2sf]

Gustavo Perez do you play on pc?

[@knallpistolen]

not when I am playing medic

[@danielantony1882]

Gustavo Perez Says the guy who's specialization is skipping revives and making the team loose.

[@jdm_kxng2377]

Gustavo Perez TRUUUUUE

[@Y34RZERO]

Do you play PC? I'm a good medic. same with my platoon.

[@DeltaWarrior95]

Is it good?? IS IT GOOD?? Yo this gun is absolutely sick... I had the best feeling that it would be. It's the best thing to happen to Medic since sliced bread. Not only do I now feel like I can stand a chance in close range against other classes, I feel like I can actually be aggressive. Don't worry, if you're out there on Xbox, I won't be so aggressive that I forget to play my role and keep you alive ;) Sooo glad to see it. Amazing damage, great manageable recoil- honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it got nerfed. Already got close to 2 service stars with it from just playing yesterday.

[@92ladderley]

Yeah it's a well-balanced weapon, too bad muppets are going to cry for a nerf as usual though.

[@DeltaWarrior95]

Right man, I have a bad feeling they're going to try to mess with it

[@Doableanimal90]

DeltaWarrior they better not nerf it because finally i can kill people with hellriegel

[@DrunkNotIAm]

DeltaWarrior I'm on xbox as well.

[@DeltaWarrior95]

@Drunk Cheers buddy :DD @Doable I KNOW DUDE!!

[@t-51b89]

Imagine how cool it would be to find the first and only Hellreigal in existence. Just a thought

[@inderet4118]

T-51B I haven't seen anyone write Hellriegel correctly in ages...

[@stephenmarshall3771]

Some Austrian guy definetly has It sitting in his closet, not knowing the treasure he possess lol

[@knallpistolen]

if it ended up in Cuba its making coffee now :)

[@diggydog_gaming3014]

T-51B whoever has it might be in a corner

[@penguin4849]

luc bos how hard is it to just type hellriegel

[@Cos27O]

Doesn't even matter if you don't have the DLC. Weapons should never be DLC content, only maps and maybe camos. EA is cancer

[@lucariolu4875]

But in Bf4 the DLC‘s was At the end of Bf4 For free, two times.

[@unchartedgaming4733]

On Xbox all of BF1’s DLC other than currency was completely free for a couple days as long as you had a Gold. I was t sure how it worked at the time and so I knew that I didn’t have BF1 but for some reason I thought the DLC would give the game so I downloaded it. Now that BF1 is free I got the Obrez and Fedorov.

[@92ladderley]

I'll say this, it's a great counter to the hellriegel.

[@cotoaster4081]

no it isnt. if you want to counter hellriegel go with AL8.25 or rsc

[@92ladderley]

AL8.25 works too, I know from personal experience but as for the Avtomat: ...Yes it is actually :/

[@cotoaster4081]

92ladderley if the hellriegel player has got at least 78%accuracy whilest you got 100% your dead before he is.

[@dirtygore]

Der Nerz Yes it is, it's better than than the autoloading 8 and outguns it.

[@alexzamora1866]

Not the AL8 35 marksman or factory. Those 2 have fastes ttk ingame, even outguns the automatico.

[@Muttface]

Is it just me or is the clipping of objects kinda fucked on the new maps. My character is finding it really difficult to jump over the most simple ledges.

[@petersmith7175]

Muttface same with me on Xbox mate .

[@jaredramirez3582]

Yes and there are some invisible barriers I found that are really inconvenient. Like you throw a grenade and thin air throws it back at you

[@Muttface]

seems like the CTE failed a bit then haha

[@patrickazzarella6729]

Muttface blame it on people who only play the CTE the play the maps and not actually test them

[@nicolasingh6948]

Muttface I got stuck on barbed wire until I died 😂😂😂

[@inderet4118]

If only the servers were playable. I've only seen people complain in chat about rubberbanding and shitty connection

[@zephirussalinas8769]

luc bos only problem I've had is a weird audio bug that's only present in the new operations

[@ducksnutts]

luc bos around 12pm every sever I jumped into kept saying I had 300-600 ping

[@coda2939]

Played for 3 hours and no one complained about connection or anything.

[@drewrhodes6732]

I played for a couple of hours and had some rubber banding maybe once every match but nothing to complain about

[@wasterick]

played for 2 days and it's all fine no one's complaining

[@findlaysmith9358]

the new dlc is so good,

[@awnaw5529]

findlay smith love the new assault rifle

[@LawrenceLatrellJacksonMcknight]

findlay smith I agree, it's really good ,and the weapons are awesome.

[@raulpetrascu2696]

And I actually enjoy the weapon assignments. Haven't tried the support class assignments yet tho

[@roberto8645]

findlay smith Volga river, galicia, and lupkow pass are all trash maps. The rest of the maps are good.

[@astropictures4396]

findlay smith yeah, my favourite map is probs Galicia. It reminds me of what I thought bf1 would be. Trenches.

[@WhViSp]

The hit detection in the real ww was better

[@cotoaster4081]

lel

[@caiolucas55]

The SL M1907 Sweeper uses megazines and have an automatic mode westie

[@eazy___4032]

Caio Lucas semi

[@Sevinki]

sweeper is full auto, the other two semi. the trench is way better though, if you can spam the trigger fast

[@jdm_kxng2377]

Caio Lucas it's a self loading rifle

[@TheGM-20XX]

Correct. Magazine fed with full auto fire despite what those two said.

[@yaumilikhwan306]

Caio Lucas but not fast than this weapon

[@shantiermadani6432]

I love that dice made it so you can play all maps in a rotation (vanilla+dlc) this just makes the game so much more fun for me and its really a benefit for premium when you in the last dlc have around 30 maps if they continue tiving 6 dlc maps every dlc.

[@kpman644]

420 They're will be 24 new maps in total

[@MyntSurvival]

They arent in the same server tho? i tried to use the any maps option but the new maps never come to vote. they don't have official servers with all apparently

[@blowbert9126]

Its a good gun but the new operations are horrible. Attackers have no hope. Maps are too open and snipers rule. Won all my games as defender and none as attackers.

[@putinsneighbor8351]

Agreed.

[@trenchcoats4life891]

robert johnson we got slaughtered on defense in the russian civil war. My team was terrible though.

[@Lesinator]

robert johnson I've won as attacker on the red army op and as defender on the other, problem is those sides always win every game I've played so far.

[@nicknieberg8693]

robert johnson yup i played this opperation and lost at the first sector u had to run acros a open field snipers and supports kept killing me no cover at all and then i zoomed out to see the whole map and the whole map was like that 😂 #needcover

[@luigi7711]

I don't think so my team actually raped defenders in the ass, it's all about that team coordination

[@airplanenut89]

This is a fully automatic Battle Rifle, not an Assault Rifle. An assault rifle is select fire capable and also fires an intermediate cartridge. Rifles like the BAR, FG42, M14, G3 are battle rifles because they use full power rifle rounds. Rifles like the STG44, AK, M16, L85, ect. are assault rifles because they use cut down cartridges. The Fedorov used the 6.5mm Arisaka round available at the time. While the 6.5 Arisaka was a lower power round than others, it was still meant as a full power round for the Arisaka 38. The Fedorov would be the world's first select fire Battle Rifle but not an assault rifle.

[@Tom-2142]

Yea

[@reonthornton685]

Only issue. the modern standards for an Assault rifle didn't exist at the time. The 6.5mm Arisaka, FOR IT'S TIME, was an intermediate round, but obviously today it's a full power rifle round. So it's a grey area.

[@nikoclesceri2267]

It is more of the father of the assault rifle

[@hjp14]

I just unlocked the Trench version today and it's awesome! I'm still adjusting to the recoil but I appreciate the rate of fire immensely. As a level 50 Medic with 20 stars for the 1907 Sweeper, I've been eagerly awaiting another high-capacity (relatively speaking) full-auto rifle for the Medic class.

[@omemahmud2963]

My squad healing objective isn’t counting but my che rigotti kill has been counted. Any help?

[@joaogomes9405]

The federov did have a detachable box magazine, however the nature of its parts, not being interchangeable, and the cost of production meant the federov was issued with a single detachable magazine that the soldiers would reload through stripper clips, similarly to how the semi-automatic predecessor to the avtomat was reloaded. I'd imagine taking the box magazine of fallen comrades would be quite popular among troops issued with the federov.

[@Marx405]

I used this rifle yesterday for the first time that after a while I actually forgot I was a medic. I started to play like a support player. It's very OP.

[@AgiDaKinG]

The medic class desperately needed some help in terms of available weaponry. But now, since a lot of the other medic guns are outclassed by everything else, it almost makes it mandatory to run this rifle

[@raulpetrascu2696]

villen but medic has always been the most effective class. Just do the weapon assignments for it and see that even the weird ones no one uses can be godly if you use them right. Until the Federov the ML1907 SL Sweeper was the best non-OP gun in the game imo

[@CyberWTF]

Sweeper sucked in comparison to the trench variant

[@divineheii5316]

villen your not serious right? Medic has access to some of the best weapons

[@boulbaggies1465]

ikr! medics have great guns just dont rely on hipfire too often and you wont get cucked 24/7

[@Haskin225]

When I did the assignment for this gun I was wrecking ppl with cei regotti. I told myself if the Fedorov is bad I'll main the cei. Fed just too damn good

[@Pintexx]

The airplane kills to unlock the MG 15 are IMPOSSIBLE SMH

[@user-lq7lf8qc3y]

Pintexx Its so easy I did it in like 20 minutes what are you talking about.

[@stephenmarshall3771]

Pintexx Just have one of you friends go on opposite team in giants shadow, get 2 planes, and go behind to the British spawn behind F, there is plenty of flat space for him to land, so you can get those 2 kills quick

[@wldcxrd_edits677]

Pintexx just get in an aa gun and disable it and get out of the aa gun and destroy it with your lmg

[@Heidi-hl9cd]

Pintexx i got it on some map where everyone was flying with that new bomber. I got my lewis gun ready, fired them with hundred magazines and then i got two planes destroyed. There were tho allies planes firing them too, so they weakened them already. Just keep firing and youll get it

[@PhoenixV30]

I somehow managed to get it within 3 matches. I'm just lucky i guess.

[@freefunniescomeforthelaigh6745]

Even in the first day of its realise people were playing with the hellriegel

[@chatdeterre8522]

According to the codex of Battlefield1, the Ribeyroles ans the SL M1907 are assault rifle.

[@BFViking]

This DLC just made the game so much better!

[@krucdfumv]

forgot to mention the auto-loading 8.35 and .25 extended are very viable CQC weapons,

[@cotoaster4081]

Yes they are and if you looked at a heatmap for one second youd see the avtomat falling short in nearly every distance. the only thing going for it is its large mag.

[@cotoaster4081]

and for the optical idk wether it still is in basegame but in cte if you tap at 400rpm there is neither spread nor recoil at all.

[@dirtygore]

krucdfumv But they are not as good as the fedorov. It great guns but the fedorov is better.

[@92ladderley]

Was using it for the first time last night, ran round a corner and shot my way through 3 enemy soldiers, and still had about 13 rounds left, needless to say I was very satisfied with the weapon, I think this gives medics a really good chance against assault players myself.

[@jamesstelle6050]

when bf1 released, I was so hyped for it, then I grinded the hell out of it, and maxed out everything, now there's nothing to do. I have to buy dlc just to have more stuff to do

[@mockss6475]

brilliant weapon easy unlock

[@exioz99]

Mocks do I need the dlc to unlock it?

[@mockss6475]

yes im pretty sure buddy

[@indescention1]

I love it for the ps4 version. Hope its not going to get a nerf.

[@kpman644]

Indescention Blank Many other weapons are getting a buff in the next update so idk

[@cotoaster4081]

yes they are buffed into 10ahunter times and then good luck on the open ground you walk 80% of your playtime on.

[@nRADRUS]

check wiki: "Fedorov set to the task upon his return to Russia in January 1916. He retained the mechanism of his semi-automatic rifle, with the major addition of a selective fire switch. The fixed magazine was replaced by a curved 25-round detachable box magazine, that was fed through the breach via 5 round stripper clips.[6]"

[@johannes7185]

The 1907sl sweeper is fullauto and has a detachable Box Magazin

[@iraqigamer2407]

Um, Westie. There is another magazine fed-automatic firing medic rifle...

[@joshpowell1732]

Hopefully this patch will fix the M97!

[@onlyicedgarrett7791]

First round with the Trench variant, got 2 really big kill streaks on Monte Grappa Frontlines. First one, was defending the Telegraph in the fort, simply peeked, hosed, healed, and repeated, outgunned players of all classes. Second one, was harassing the trench next to the bunker at the objective just before the Telegraphs. Same strategy, same result.

[@DeLaVeGaGR]

I like this new weapon addition ,it reminds me the golden age of the medic class in BC2!!!

[@xUB34xR0UG3x]

Basically an AK

[@villerepo7639]

Qwxzi not at all

[@wowwhydoIneedahandle]

Qwxzi I agree, it feels like a ww1 ak from the banana mag to the fire rate and recoil

[@Tom-2142]

How?

[@Turgz]

TheArklyte The AK and M1 gas systems are completely different. The only similarity is that they both have gas pistons.

[@zanzanny9522]

gelul12 STG 44 has absolutely nothing to do with AK.

[@xavierackerman6225]

I have allready unlocked the fedorov. And it was pretty easy if you ask me.

[@92ladderley]

Yeah took me less than an hour.

[@cotoaster4081]

Fedorov isnt that good... AL8.25 outdamages it at close range with ease and on longer ranges the mondragon or rsc reign surpreme.

[@dirtygore]

Der Nerz It destroys the autoloading 8 in close range

[@alexzamora1866]

dirtygore depends on which autoloading 8 ur talkin about. The one with a box mag maybe but the other 2 variant have the fastest ttk ingame and beats the ttk of the automatico.

[@cotoaster4081]

AL8.25 has a faster time to kill than fedorov avtomat there is nothing to do about that. AL8.35 Variants have faster time to kill too but happen to have only 5 shots in the integrated magazine.

[@istvankiss3776]

I love how many medics I've seen today in bf1 :D extraordinary

[@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042]

The real fedorov does have a detachable magazine, only they were designed to the gun, and would generally not be interchangeable between different fedorovs. The original version used a 5 round built in magazine, fed by stripper clips and only had semi-auto. When Fedorov saw some real battles, he wanted to create a gun that is in between the LMG and the SMG, so he got his old Fedorov and put a detachable 25 round mag in it and gave it a full auto setting. He also wanted to change the round from 6.5x50mm Japanese to a more powerful 6.5x50mm Russian (or Fedorov) the gun is classified as a "Avtomat" (means automatic) and that name was used until the assault rifle came out and now the Russian word for "Assault Rifle" is "Avtomat"

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

This gun is amazing. I don't think it will need a nerf either. It absolutely blows from mid to long range. Even if you put it in semi auto, it's more accurate but it's still just so weak. It's a monster at close range though no doubt. I got this gun first. Now time for the other medic rifle. Anyone have a review of the other one?

[@justinpinheiro8739]

General liu rifle is like the selbstlader 1906 and mondragon had a baby, Super accurate, high damage, fast firing, Decent clip size. Love it!

[@cotoaster4081]

Only the spread increase from Liu sucks

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

Justin Pinheiro damn sounds amazing I need to get on that ASAP

[@totalawesomeness2310]

NickStone68 Liu is essentially Selbstlader 1906 with an extra shot. Enough said here

[@NossnevsSWEDEN]

*_If it wasn't for BF1 I wouldn't give a fuck about WW1_*

[@renatabanks3751]

Straightoutta SWEDEN that's kinda sad...I loved learning about ww1 before bf1...

[@alexandruianu8432]

The Fedorov was a battle rifle due to its round and recoil characteristics, not an assault rifle, though that was the initial intention. Call it the Scar H of WWI. There are already 2 assault rifles in game: Ribeyrolles 1918 and the French contract select fire 1907 Winchester (real ROF is about double than ingame).

[@ASH-fk7wl]

the DLC is amazing

[@j.vinton4039]

It is pretty good, I'm definitely enjoying it.

[@MrDragonPig]

No magazine fed, fully automatic rifles you say? So I guess the M1907 SL Sweeper doesn't exist anymore...

[@joaogomes9405]

The m1907 is about as automatic as a rock. Sure, it has full auto fire but it's fire rate is low and meant to be shot in small bursts or semi automically.

[@ruffcommando7062]

i know right

[@husaind2962]

The Fedorov is quite a good CQB rifle, and really suits my playstyle. However, when DICE drops the weapon balance update, they need to increase the minimum and maximum damage values of it, the 1907 Sweeper and Cei Rigotti so medics will have a fair chance against SMGs if they want to play aggressively with the guns designed for that role. If these guns aren't given a buff then the medic class's best CQB guns are rendered useless post-patch, especially against something like a hellreigel. Additionally, I think DICE needs to rebalance the Brusilov Offensive Operation, particulate on Galicia. I've played it 5 times and every time the attackers were unable to move on from the first map. Keep up the great work Westie!

[@DJ_Bonebraker]

Westie: "You can boost your way to the max level by healing & reviving fallen teammates which can happen hundreds of times in a single match." Me: *Plays medic only to have everyone on my team skip revive when I'm less than 10 ft away and running straight towards them.* >_

[@sebastiankrueger6209]

This gun is going to become cancer in this game fast.

[@baker90338]

Why not the autismatico 1918?

[@Doableanimal90]

Baker Tankersley no it is not . It's well balanced . Finally medics can have a chance of winning a gun fight against assault

[@LawrenceLatrellJacksonMcknight]

Tank Hunter it's okay ,it's not really that good. The other medic rifles are still better.

[@bigchungus3199]

Tank Hunter did you kill the light tank, like i asked you?

[@justinpinheiro8739]

It really balanced considering it has very little range and accuracy

[@gabrielg3838]

great. doubt I'll be revived now lmao. I'll be 4m away and just ignore me.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

I feel they decreased time to kill with the new competitive mode they are pushing for, making it faster to kill someone by buffing everything across the board.

[@lucasandrews5689]

My Grandmother used to tell me about the old days, a time when all Medic Guns were fair and Balanced. But that all Changed when the Federal Avtomat Attacked.

[@chasehartman6996]

Cant afford new dlc

[@thegodfather376]

Kool

[@hisnameisiam808]

I've had some great play time on and really enjoy the new game mode. I get into games quickly and have had 20/5 kd highs. I love the snow! lol dice, keep it the way it is! 👍

[@rubberwoody]

the fedorov is NOT an assault rifle people. It fires full size rifle caliber 6.5mm rounds. It is an automatic rifle like an M14. the ribeyrolles would be a true assault rifle, as it is select fire and fires an intermediate cartridge

[@MyntSurvival]

The fedorov has a select fire in game, so drop that argument.

[@SenseiRice6969]

If only the devs made that gun historically accurate and made you reload it with stripper clips and made it overheat in full auto... but hey if you made it historically accurate you'd lose business to COD right. I lose faith in this game with each update.

[@charlesdark2861]

The game isn't supposed to be historically accurate. if you want that, play Verdun instead of whining. And I can easily tell you that making the gun overheat would mean that there would be many guns which would also have to overheat, which would make them useless and make the game not as fun. You see why most games don't let that happen? You can only make a game so realistic until it starts ruining the fun. War Thunder, for example. Would you like to have your tank unable to move just because the game rolled a dice and it just so happened that now your tank is on fire because of a RNG saying that the engine overheated because you're in the desert? Would you like to get shot once in a game like BF3 and have to wait 2 real life hours while you wait for a helicopter to arrive and airlift you out of the area? I think you get the point. Stop whining, if you want so much realism, then go out and play Verdun, Arma or any Red Orchestra or Rising Storm games, Battlefield clearly isn't for you.

[@reonthornton685]

Also the gun CAN be reloaded by removing the magazine, the feature was there, it's just the Russian army didn't actually have enough magazines to make use of it. Remember, they had to hand tool most if not all of the weapon due to lack of industrial capacity, which also meant that it was not uncommon that a Federov magazine could not be used in another Federov. Balance wise that would completely kill the weapons use in BF1. It would be a glorified Cei-Rigotti with less power and accuracy.

[@evanrobinson9051]

Good job catching the historic way the gun was used in combat! The magazine was not removed from the gun to reload it. This was due to the fact it was of poor manufacturing quality. Every magazine had to be modify to fit into each guns chamber.

[@shotojae6007]

This gun is a god send, I was fine with the mondragon and seblestader pulling out clips on people but this takes it to another level. It's melts and I actually have a chance in close quarters. When I first unlocked it I went a frontline game of 78 and 24. Hoping to god they don't nerf it.

[@jsmith2479]

Use the automatic revolver for close quarters. Things a beast.

[@REvil_-fh9bd]

I used the fedorov today and I have to give credit it is quite a good automatic rifle for a medic gun. Its kinda accurate in certain situations when your going for long range.

[@michaelraskin9915]

Its fantastic, if you're used to the sweeper, you need to get used to 4 hits instead of 3, but after that, its a game changer. The extra 5 rounds in the mag over the sweeper is incredible.

[@rodeljagad8127]

Dude the Autoloading 8.25 Extended is such an underrated weapon.

[@LawrenceLatrellJacksonMcknight]

This weapon is okay,but i prefer the autoloading .35 , selb 1906 or the general Liu rifle. That being said I still like the weapon ,and I'm happy they added it. A lot of people don't like medic rifles ,so this weapon offers them a different playstyle.

[@Caliell]

Fedorov Avtomat could of been reloaded like any normal assault rifle today, with detachable magazine. The reason why it wasn't was due to shortage of material, where Russian army only issued one detachable magazine and combat load of stripper clips to push through the top. So it had two methods of reloading. Akin to Garand push from the top and detachable spring magazine.

[@pizzachanlol]

Technically the first "assault rifle" is the STG44. The characteristics of a "assault rifle" is an intermediate cartridge with selective fire. This is a battlerifle. A full sized rifle round that is more of a squad weapon.

[@theeOnslaught]

I'm having mixed feelings about although up close it's pretty damn lethal even against SMG's

[@MrChip1841]

This is NOT an assault rifle. An assault rifle fires an intermediate cartridge that falls between a full size rifle round and a pistol round. The Fedorov Avtomat fired a full size rifle round, just like the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). The gun most commonly linked with being the first assault rifle is the STG-44 created by the Germans in World War 2.

[@xman5025]

Unlocked this gun yesterday, and took a bit to get used to. However, once I figured it out, it was super fun to use as I typically play more Agressive overall. Great video as always Westie!👍

[@earendilthemariner5546]

I played the dlc at like 12 pm yesterday and got killed by a dude that had 2 stars already on the fedorov optical. But i love this gun. It looks, sounds, and feels really nice. I went 50/25 as medic the first game i got it

[@rodeljagad8127]

The Fedorov seems like a weapon that can be best utilized if theirs another medic in the squad with a more mid-long range weapon like the Selby Optical.

[@Pretani_chieftain]

I cant wait to see what the next set of guns will be in the next DLC. The top 3 I really really want to be in the next DLC, is the M1917 Enfield, the Canadian Ross Rifle, and the Martini Grenade Launcher.

[@wadescharber286]

I want to see the 1895 lee-navy straight pull

[@markosmartong434]

Good overview on the Fedorov Avtomat. As you mentioned its the first medic weapon where I feel I can compete in close quarters. Unlike the other classes medics need to keep and eye on others for heals and revives...so a reasonably powerful weapon is much appreciated.

[@christianponicki9581]

When's the latest CTE update coming to consoles? I want to try out the new damage model and see how it affects weapon balance.

[@caprise-music6722]

It’s the second assault rifle in BF1, because the Ribeyrolles M1918 definitely qualifies for that same genre. Yes it’s called a carbine, but even an M4 is after all A assault rifle

[@kekdermott3055]

Technicaly this is the second assualt rifle with the first being the ribbeyrolles as it also has: select fire, a 25 box magazine and is also a rifle designed for automatic fire with the only really noticeable difference being it has a bipod

[@siebeklaassen1288]

I can tell for a fact, YES

[@elevenunderscore11]

It was designed to use the detachable magazine to reload, but since the Russian army lacked resources each solder was only given one mag and multiple clips.

[@evanrobinson9051]

Good job catching the historic way the gun was used in combat! The magazine was not removed from the gun to reload it. This was due to the fact it was of poor manufacturing quality. Every magazine had to be modify to fit into each guns chamber.

Would like to see more medic guns with this concept. Three candidates would be the farquar Hill rifle, Rossignol ent and assuming dice don't consider it an lmg, the Burton 1917 LMR

[@MaximilianoAedo]

I'm pretty sure Mikhail Kalashnikov was thinking about the Fedorov Avtomat when he was developing the AK-47

[@samfricker6355]

I've unlocked the trench and I love it, it feels powerful but not to the point of being overpowered. It's quite versatile once you get the hang of it and man does it chew through the enemy in a well placed flank!

[@nicolasingh6948]

It's the best medic gun in the game and allows medics to play aggressively instead of hanging back at mid to long range

[@richardfromtoronto]

i love it - really makes medic feel more exciting and interesting.

[@ShawnTheDriver]

Even if it wasn't good. I will still use it. The gun just sounds cool. Fedorov Avtomat. You've been killed by a guy carrying a Fedorov Avtomat. That sounds awesome.

[@gamermanzeake]

The Federov has the exact same time to kill in close quarters as the Cei Riggoti and the M1907 sweeper. I believe that is the most significant detail that weapon reviews leave out. Granted it may not lose accuracy as much as those two rifles because it's a purpose built full auto but it's nevertheless interesting to me that Dice is playing with numbers in such a way to keep things in line but make the play feel different. I appreciate it truly. The Chauchat LMG is one of my favorites for a reason!

[@TheBradjohnson5]

I feel like more people will use rifle grenade using this than revive kit, still looks fun

[@simbasRage]

The Federov is a gods given gift to us medics

[@ducksnutts]

I learn more about war history from your videos then I did in school.. thank you westie :)

[@baker90338]

Look up forgotten weapons. MASSIVE amounts of information.

[@kitchenjail3546]

Technically the M1907 Sweeper is the first assault rifle in BF1. The Fedorov fits the battle rifle definition better.

[@Jared-ll3tt]

IS IT GOOD?! Westie is that even a question? That gun is sick along with it's DLC brother

[@supersammy6729]

What weapons do you guys think we're going to see in Turning Tides in December. For a side arm that can add the Nambu pistol (1906-1945) or the Type 26 Revolver (1893-1945) if we see the Japanese Empire show up in the DLC fingers crossed. I can't think of many weapons that fit into the "theme" of turning tides Edit-Very off topic I know that lol

[@kaiflood6061]

I like the angled foregrip on the Fedorov more than the vertical foregrip and red dot sight since it is more of a cqb weapon than the other rifles

[@darkenderbeastgaming5113]

I swear this feels like it shoots faster on the video than in the vanilla game

[@matthewcrum6803]

Ok ok no. The fedorev is not the first assault rifle. The German Stg44 is. The fedorev was deployed as a light support weapon like a lmg. The Stg44 was designed for assaults and close quarters combat.

[@Firefighter_303]

The amount of people who do not understand the difference between an automatic rifle and assault rifle but who feel the need to share their "knowledge" is absurdly high.

[@Gapeagle]

Everyone complaining about servers and I'm here having a blast on my PS4 with no lag.

[@sLreedfamily]

5:23 did anyone else notice the 3rd arm putting down the crate lololol

[@typical_doza]

I prefer the optical, it's more consistent at mid to long range. I also have no trouble with it at short range. The gun is beast and I don't see myself playing self loading rifles anymore.

[@chemtrailsmoker9852]

Am I the only one that finds this gun overpowered? I feel like when I'm using the Bar and I have a standoff with a Fedorov medic, I will probably do around 40 damage while he will obliterate me.

[@callumdonley9474]

The auto loading extended is a fucking beast for me in close range deffo my favourite medic gun

[@lazytanks4035]

I think the Fedorov and Obrez are a real good combo.

[@Theydotheharlemshake]

One thing, It was reloaded through the top due to the machining Be cost of the magazines, But they could be removed

[@dipp9120]

Historians call this the first assault rifle prototype in history because of its full auto capability and taking the 6.5mm arasaka round but it wasn't used like an assault rifle in real life by the Russians it was used as a heavy mg where it would have a loader using clips of 5 to feed the gun its 25 rounds and yes the magazine was detachable they just issued one just like the trench magazine for the 98k for anyone wondering about cod ww2. But in reality for the game it has to be like this for gameplay.

[@donviglone7707]

If I didn't want to get the Hellrigel, I wouldn't go into a different class from that of the medic, now that I 've unlocked the Fedorov avtomat.
