Pattern 14 MKI W (T) - The Best Sniper Rifle of World War One
This video explores the Pattern 14 MKI W(T), a British sniper rifle developed during World War I. It details the evolution of British sniping tactics and equipment, highlighting the shortcomings of early mid-war rifles like the offset optics and lack of standardization. The P14 MkI W(T), a Winchester-made rifle with a centrally mounted optic, is presented as a significant improvement, boasting enhanced accuracy. Although introduced too late for widespread WWI service, 3,000 were kept post-war, and a small batch was later produced for the Irish Free State, with the rifle in the video being one of these later examples.
