Swiss K31/42 and K31/43 Sniper Rifles

http://www.forgottenweapons.com Theme music by Dylan Benson - http://dbproductioncompany.webs.com The Swiss experimented with scoped sniper rifles during World War II, and the results were the K31/42 and the K31/43. Only a couple thousand were made between the two models, and they were not considered particularly successful. Ultimately they were replaced by the ZfK-55 (a much better rifle for the purpose) a decade after the war. The two earlier versions are pretty interesting to see though.
