Mo-zin Nuh-gahnt vs. Moy-zin Nuh-gant

[D ReedSniper]

Local gunshop always called them Noisy Maggots. Didn't stop me from buying 3 of them though

Did you buy a bunch and customize one or two?

Which way do you pronounce it? Is the second the Russian pronunciation? If so, it seems to be the American way of pronouncing things as they are spelled

*Shudder* No that is not the Russian pronounciation. *Shudder*

And now, to cleanse the palate, here is Milla Jovovich speaking Russian, with guns.

I always refer to it as a mow-zin (mow rhymes with grow). Don't ever say nagant because everybody knows what I'm talking about. I've heard it so many ways but the one I've heard most is mow-zin nuh-gahnt. Like t-ahhhh-nt?

This thread is reminding me of this:

Duck, I says!

Here is another, is the slug a Sabot or a Sah-bow

Well, the gun may be inexpensive, but the price of ammo adds up over time compared to .22. I can get 20 rounds of Mosin for $6, 20 rounds of 7.62x39 for $7, and 50 rounds of .22 for $3.

Yeah, school buses cost more than Corollas. (but some school buses are cheaper than other school buses)

Good point Mat.

Use the proper French.

How about we put a Corolla engine into a school bus?

How are you guys getting NUH GANT from NAG? Nag like a horse or a nagging wife.

I've always pronounced it:
Moss-een Nagant

But that's because I'm a Limey and we speak English and not Amurrican.

I pronounce it "in-ex-pen-sive".
