### Description

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(12x). and also shares some characteristics of the semi-auto's like the rate of fire(when upgraded), and capacity(when upgraded), however the M1895 doesn't even come close to the reloading speed of a semi-auto rifle as it reloads rounds individually.

### Strengths

* **Damage:** Second highest damage in the game, only the Mosin-Nagant deals more damage per shot. is easily capable of killing grunt zombies with one body shot, same as bolt action's, the semi auto's relay more on headshots thus requiring more body shots to kill but they have better controllable recoil and a faster fire rate.
* **Capacity:** When upgraded the capacity can either be 7 or 10 rounds, far more the standard 5 rounds for bolt actions, and comparable to most semi auto's although, 10 or 20 less then m1 carbine, it has the same amount as the 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 internal magazine 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 internal magazine. 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 en-block clip so all the rounds are replenished with just one animation. the reloads on the m1895 are cancelable, like all the other weapons where cartridges are loaded individually, this is not an option with the semi-auto's. With the capacity of either 5, 7 or 10 rounds, its a good habit to top up the remaining rounds after a couple of shots, avoiding the slow empty reloads. of course when the dead are closing into you, fire all you like, just find a safe spot to reload the whole magazine which could be a time comsuming proces.

## 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.
