The **M1895 Repeater** is a sniper rifle weapon in the Zombie Army series. The M1895 was introduced in the Year 1 - Season Pass via the Repeater Rifle bundle.

## Summary

The M1895 is a very unique weapon, its stats are mostly the middle of the semi auto and the bolt action rifles. The M1895 has some statistics higher that of another primary and some stats are lower. You either hate it or love it. It has all the good aspects of a bolt action, high damage, one shot kill potential, good zoom when upgraded plus a higher rate of fire. It also statistics of semi-auto's which the M1895 is higher, like the rate of fire, reload speed and capacity, the M1895 doesn't even come close to those characteristics of a semi-auto rifle. The M1895 has damage, zoom and fire rate slightly higher or comparable with a bolt action, with a high capacity.

### Strength

* **Damage:** Second highest damage in the game, only the Mosin-Nagant deals more damage per shot. It is easily capable of killing zombies with one body shot, same as bolt action's, the semi autos rely more on headshots thus requiring more body shots to kill.
* **Capacity:** When upgraded the capacity can either be 7 or ten rounds, far more the standard 5 rounds for bolt actions, and comparable to most semi autos with 5 less than the M1 Carbine, same as SVT 40 and 2 more or 2 less than the M1 Garand (all depends on upgrades of course)
* **Fire Rate:** Being the only lever action in the game comes with two perks, a cool looking cycling animation as you chamber another round, and a higher fire rate than the bolt action rifles in the game, when upgraded you can get a capacity of 7, sacrificing the extra 3 rounds in the chamber for the upgrade that gives it an even higher rate of fire. It can't compete with the semi-auto rifles in terms of fire rate but makes up for it with the higher per shot damage output.

### Weaknesses

* **Reload Speed:** Being a lever action rifle, the M1895 has a slow reload speed especially when compared to a semi-auto rifle, rounds are individually loaded in the chamber. When empty, the reloads are approximately 3.3 seconds (5 rounds in 3.9 seconds, 7 rounds in - seconds, and 10 rounds in 5 seconds). Reload speed is not upgradable, the bolt actions with reload speed upgraded have an edge over the M1895, the semi-auto's have about the same reload speed but are either magazine fed or via block clip, so all the rounds are replenished with just one animation. The reloads on the M1895 are cancelable after inserting a round in the chamber, like with the bolt actions, this is not an option with the semi-auto's. With the capacity of 5, 7 or 10 rounds, you better off topping of the rounds in the chamber after a couple of shots, avoiding the slow empty reloads.

## Upgrades

To complete its mastery its best to go to zombie zoo right at the start and shoot in body with explosive attachment on, for some reason bullet penetrating zombie also counts as miss, therefor explosive shots prevent it from occurring.
