Took my M44 to the range a couple weeks ago. Shot about 60 rounds of surplus ammo. Guy next to me with the short-barrel AR-15 asked me to keep the noise down. The RSO saw the fireball, heard the roar, and had to come over to see what was going on. The good fellow suspected a Mosin, even shot a couple rounds. Doesn't really kick any harder than my buddie's 1947 Enfield Jungle Carbine.
As for accuracy, from the bench I'm minute-of-torso at 100 yards. From standing and firing off-hand, minute of torso at 50 to 75 yards. Even if I don't kill a goblin, I'll certainly ruin their day. ;-)
I prefer the full size 91/30 version

DeleteWell, if you realize you can only hit accurately people inside a room, the meme is accurate
