Wrong caliber for Mosin Nagant

[Eddie Keeper 1]

Not really an error issue with game play so reporting it here as I couldn't find a listing for this.  The Mosin Nagant is Caliber 7.62x54R  a Russian rimmed round, not the 7.62x51 (.308) round found in the game.  Mosin Nagants were never chambered in .308 (7.62x51)

Probably a holdover from Arma II inventory.  Not a big deal as numbers go, but a huge difference in the bullet size and shape and a really big deal in terms of reality and what will or won't work in guns

I too have been annoyed by this. When I first found the box saying 7,62x51 I was like "Yaaaay! NATO-rifles commin'!"
...but then I just realized it was a mistake.
