The Berthier Mle 1892 Makes Puns Easy..

The Berthier Mle 1892 has high recoil and a small capacity, but most importantly, it was made in France. Let's talk about that!

[@williammell845]

Ammo economy is the most important benefit of this gun. Excluding the single shot rifles, Long ammo rifles get 15 bullets. The Berthier has the most reserve ammo so it gets the most back per box. And unlike the Mosin or the Lebel, it makes sense to bring 1 extra ammo type with the Berthier because it doesn't just let you cycle ammo to top off outside of fights, it gives you an extra magazine of ammo. When I am try-harding I like to bring the Scottfield swift with fanning for close range, and the Berthier with half normal ammo and half spritzer ammo. This gives me 18 long ammo shots to play with and any time the enemy loses sight of me for a second at either range I can have a fully reloaded weapon ready to bear. Pair this with 1 ammo box just in case you need it and you can put out more bullets at any range in less time than just about any other loadout.

[@pumpknight8539]

Bringing special ammo does not give you another clip, the game gives you 9 bullets, 3 already loaded, for the first ammo type and 6 for the second one you bring. Still, topping off is nice since bullet grubber costs a ton of points and also takes almost as much as the ammo swap strategy

[@williammell845]

@@pumpknight8539 it does though. Try it out

[@jonphaen]

To put it in numbers: Lebel 1-2 ammo per Box Mosin 2-3 per Box Berthier 3-4 per Box The Berthier gets you insanely fast back after a fight, one resupply is enough to fully fill the Berthier while you have a hard time getting your Lebel back to full without an uppercut as a scondary

[@pumpknight8539]

@@williammell845 coming back just to say you were right, the game doesn’t tell you on the equipment screen though and i hadn’t tried it. still prefer using only standard ammo though because that gives me more ammo from pickups

[@williammell845]

@@pumpknight8539 that's totally fair. I don't often use it either because the spritzer ammo is so expensive but if you go all in with an ammo box it feels really good to shoot 10 bullets and instantly resupply almost all of it

[@renimusmaximus]

One of my favorite things about the Berthier is the ammo economy. Since it has a smaller chamber than the Mosin and Lebel, it gets more ammo from ammo boxes than both of them. Since you get 2 ammo for the lebel at boxes, and normally about 3 for the mosin, getting 4 base from ammo crates since 12/3 vs 10/3 and 5/3 means you can keep yourself in fights longer and play the attrition game, which can be useful in trio matches where fights can run quite a while even with good contact and dmg.

[@archer260]

Smaller magazine but you're right, the Berthier is great for maintaining engagements.

[@cyrilarabatzis461]

Also if you get two different kinds of ammo on it you get 3 rounds more in total. Single ammo 3+12 Normal ammo + custom ammo 3+6 + 3+6 = 18, and you don't need bulletgrabber.

[@JacobByus]

Personally, I prefer the Vetterli for the attrition game. 20 reserve and 7 in the chamber, not even counting secondary weapons adding to the ammo pool.

[@Alaskaalien]

As always, good wrap-up, awkward jokes, keep it up. But I didn't notice if you told the fact that Berthier has one extra clip if you use 2 ammo types. Like, you pick normal and inci - get 9 bullets of both. That has a pretty big impact in longer fights unless you waste bullets reloading mindlessly.

[@wicky7591]

Silent killer is pretty handy on the Riposte.

[@danmorgan3685]

I've actually fired a Berthier carbine. It had been slightly sportorized so it was even lighter. The recoil was perfectly manageable and it handled well. The design of the stock will have a large effect on how recoil is transferred to the shooter which is something the game designers didn't seem to consider.

[@heyiamnick4144]

Honestly it’s probably my favourite rifle at the moment. Great ammo resuppliabilty, fast fire rate, fast reload, good iron sights. Mosin is still a bit better because of the higher muzzle velocity and damage but damn the Berthier is really good. Completely killed the Lebel for me though

[@beanosbean803]

While reloading after shooting can lose you 2 more bullets the fact that you have the highest pickup of all the long ammo rifles (except single shot ones) is a significant benefit. It means that you can go shotgun with quartermaster, or Officer/Spitfire/N.Army/Dolch/whatever as secondary. Aka have a significant arsenal for all ranges long-to-medium, cqc-to-medium.

Bolt action hunting rifles didn't become common until after WW1 when countries started selling off surplus military rifles. The game is set in 1895 so lever action and single shot rifles were the more common civilian firearms.
