This video presents a survival scenario from December 1942 on the Eastern Front, pitting the Finnish M39 rifle against the German Kar98k with a Zf.41 scope. The viewer is placed in the role of a lone Finnish Sergeant behind Soviet lines after an ambush. The core decision is whether to choose the M39 with less ammunition but readily available, or the Kar98k with a full combat load and optic, but requiring time to gather ammo from fallen comrades. Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons is also slated to participate in a discussion, adding an expert perspective to the historical and tactical implications of the choice.
