This is what your character must look like in Call of Duty single player campaign.

[–]jrriojase 41 points42 points ago

And in Fallout...

[–]Kiwi_Force 71 points72 points ago

Except any form of long range combat.

[–]Xeno505 141 points142 points ago

Soviet man have big strong arm for to throw grenade many leagues. American man-baby am not understands this advanced Russian tactic.

[–]likeafox 32 points33 points ago

Special tactics.

[–]TheNecromancer 28 points29 points ago

Also are many Soviet. Many Soviet are combine to strong throw.

[–]Adan714 12 points13 points ago

He has belt of rifle shells.

[–]mike413 4 points5 points ago

Soviet use for stop blood. Where think Rambo learn?

[–]slavik262 5 points6 points ago

And nothing to shoot them with.

[–]Adan714 6 points7 points ago

Maxim's machinegun was too big to fit into photo. : )

[–]Little_Metal_Worker 3 points4 points ago

when the guy in front of him died, he'd take their 91/30

[–]JinandJuice 7 points8 points ago

It's okay, he can throw those 7.62s at the enemy no problem.

[–]alphawolf29 5 points6 points ago

Protip: There's a rifle on his back.

[–]SA1L -4 points-3 points ago

Back in those days, a .45 acp was considered long range ;)

[–]gtr06 -2 points-1 points ago

American man calculate strength differently

[–]Sonicpanda 50 points51 points ago

Russian soldier thinking he's ready for just about anything...

[–]17n 13 points14 points ago

Joke picture? I don't think he's actually planning on lugging around two handguns.

[–]Metrovingian 9 points10 points ago

Why not? He'll need one handgun in case he runs out of bullets for his rifle, and then another for when the first one jams.

[–]Caedus_Vao 14 points15 points ago

Nagant revolvers don't jam.

Ever.

[–]RRizzo 11 points12 points ago

But they are a pain in the ass to reload, hence Nagant Numbero two

[–]PAY_IN_TIGERS 1 point2 points ago

I'm guessing partially Rambo. Partially the fact he's got 6 chances then probably won't get a chance to reload until everything's over.

[–]saargrin 11 points12 points ago

Ready for anything except moving... the second nagant pistol is sure holstered in a tacticool fashion

[–]Iceburn_the3rd 25 points26 points ago

Bullet and snow rabbit are only thing move fast in glorious cold of soviet winter, comrade.

[–]KuangGm2 7 points8 points ago

He probably just took everything he could get his hands on to pose for the picture.

[–]epic_combover 16 points17 points ago

False, I see no knife. Amateur, how's he expect to open his MRE's

[–]headfullofuselessnes 43 points44 points ago

With his teeth you silly American.

[–]epic_combover 26 points27 points ago

Of course knowing his life expectancy was 24 hours in Stalingrad maybe he wasn't concerned with opening chow...

[–]leicanthrope 25 points26 points ago

...and if he was in Stalingrad, you don't need a special tool to open a frozen horse anyhow.

[–]uberyeti 10 points11 points ago

You're implying there was food in Soviet Russia.

[–]danvolodar 0 points1 point ago

Don't need a knife to eat the porridge you get from a field kitchen.

[–]leicanthrope 5 points6 points ago

Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work you can always hit them with it.

[–]EvolutionNeo 0 points1 point ago

SNATCH

[–]Hovsky 8 points9 points ago

How does he intend to fire that gun wearing mittens?

[–]zzorga 25 points26 points ago

Those mittens usually had a small slit in them for the trigger finger.

[–]ruffthecrimedog 23 points24 points ago

Those Russians, They're thinkers.

[–]Hovsky 1 point2 points ago

Gotcha.

[–]HeyPrivate 6 points7 points ago

He looks to be like 16 or so. War sucks.

[–]finsterdexter 4 points5 points ago

Those grenades are for self-defense.

[–]mike413 3 points4 points ago

Or fishing.

[–]merrickx 3 points4 points ago

This reminds me of my grandfather. I have a bunch of pictures of him in WWII and such. He looks extremely relaxed and casual in all of the photos (while everyone else is a bit more tense) because he'd seen and participated in little more than war since his adolescence.

[–]ruffthecrimedog 3 points4 points ago

post this please, someone may even be able to improve the quality of the photos you post.

[–]merrickx 2 points3 points ago

Many photos were lost due to water damage (completely destroyed), but the remaining photos are in pretty good condition. If there were any restoral needed I could do myself for the most part. I do still have some photos of that crazy dude though. Unfortunately I lost the a lot of other photos taken in the 19th and early 20th century :/

[–]EndgegnerVonSteuben 4 points5 points ago

My (german) Grandpa used to say: "It was all fun and games until the rooskies showed up."

[–]Little_Metal_Worker 1 point2 points ago

yeah, they really didnt like what the germans did to the motherland...

[–]ulrikft 3 points4 points ago

Except Simo Häyhä.

Broken link.

[–]Adan714 2 points3 points ago

Funny studio photo. : )

edit: of course, he gathered weapon from all his friends.

[–]Lampmonster1 0 points1 point ago

Scumbag Russian soldier. Everyone else is sharing rifles and he's hogging grenades.

[–]whslaxattack 2 points3 points ago

This guy is the sole reason everyone else had to share rifles.

One man gets the rifle, the next man gets some bullets...

[–]Adan714 13 points14 points ago

"One rifle for two" is popular myth.

Спасибо, good analysis. There was few catastrophic situations with "militia division", but

  1. they was volunteers (like volunteers, without any weapons were attacked by german tank division - no one expected them in deep rear).

  2. in september all divisions goes on front line only after 3 months training.

[–]robopanda9k 2 points3 points ago

He's armed to the teeth but I see fear and uncertainty in his eyes.

[–]mike413 0 points1 point ago

He is having a photo taken of his military strength, which no soldier should reveal.

[–]rottenbastard 1 point2 points ago

Jesus Christ. I thought I'd strayed into /r/cringe for a second there.

Here, let's ruin everyone's fun: it's clearly a joke picture, same as any goofing you'd see on /r/gats or anywhere with bored soldiers messing around with ridiculous adornments.

[–]EKcore 1 point2 points ago

Except when he has to reload.

[–]usefulbuns 0 points1 point ago

That revolver is going to fall out pretty quick.

[–]xtian11[!] -1 points0 points ago

'cept capitalism.

[–]RRizzo 1 point2 points ago

So, PPSH, two Nagant revolvers, multiple types of grenades and I'm assuming those bullets are 7.62x54R

[–]albert_hindsight 1 point2 points ago

I dont think anyone noticed that he has three types of grenades on his belt. the RGD-33 grenade, the F1 grenade, and the RPG-40 anti-tank grenade.

Also, the pistol is a Nagant M1895, a widely used Belgian pistol made for the Russian Empire.

He has 7.62X54 rounds on his belt, which is ammunition for the Mosin Nagant.

and, of course, everyone knows of the PPSH-41 SMG that he is shouldering.

[–]xenokilla 0 points1 point ago

awww, that looks like the one i have. twins!

[–]laikasghost -1 points0 points ago

You can buy the pistols he is carrying for really cheap. Bout $120. Thy're called "Nagants".

[–]jdps27 0 points1 point ago

Don't fuck with Russians.

[–]ThePunisher56 -1 points0 points ago

Ugh, what i would do to get my hands on a PPSH-10..

[–]Pride_Of_Scotland 10 points11 points ago

I was thinking it was a 41?

[–]Hovsky 2 points3 points ago

A what now?

[–]ThePunisher56 1 point2 points ago

I may be mistaken but that's the name of the automatic rifle he's holding.

[–]Hovsky 16 points17 points ago

PPSh-41. PPSh-10 appears to be what they called it in one obscure CoD game.

[–]ThePunisher56 -1 points0 points ago

Ah, my mistake. You are correct sir. Still a beautiful piece of machinery.

[–]Derpybro 0 points1 point ago

It's a sub-machine gun, not an automatic rifle.

[–]Adan714 -1 points0 points ago

What's the problem - buy it.

[–]ThePunisher56 -2 points-1 points ago

I shall put it off for a later day. A college students money situation and hopeful future LEO salary... It'll be a while. Hopefully they wouldn't have crucified it and all its kind by the time i have the money.

[–]Simbrian 1 point2 points ago

Is than a smoke grenade on his left hip?

[–]EvilFlyingSquirrel 6 points7 points ago

I thought it was an anti-tank grenade.

[–]TurdString 5 points6 points ago

Looks like an RPG-40.

[–]alphawolf29 5 points6 points ago

Anti tank grenade

[–]SolidFisher 0 points1 point ago

That guy is not playing.

[–]yourmindin3D -2 points-1 points ago

Good!!! When he dies his comrades can still defend themselves!

[–]devolute -3 points-2 points ago

How about the love of another man. Yeah?

[–]drdudoo -1 points0 points ago
