I can tell you the Nagant is a piece of shit.
A direct downgrade from the Smith and Wessons they had issued earlier except for "muh smokeless" and "muh suppressors"

Japanese rifles during WW2 were generally of excellent quality until the American submarine campaign took its toll.

Japanese rifles were typically of excellent quality and were rugged. Apparently the Japanese soldiers loved them. Once the USA started winning quality dipped sharply towards the end of the war.

No.

Retardedly strong rifles.
American Riflemen (I think) tested a bunch post-war, and some of them had been rechambered for some retardedly high pressure wildcat cartridge, but not rebarreled, yet they still shot well. I think one of the numbers for the chamber pressure maximum was 120k psi
