To say that any one weapon won world war 2 is a grandiose statement, and it shows that you don't have a very firm grasp on how the war was actually fought. It comes down to the people that used them, and more people used the Mosin Nagant than any other gun in any other theatre of war. I'm not saying that the Soviet Union won the war, that's not true, it was a combination of everyone. But the USSR had enough steam left over that they could have went to war with the US for the rest of Europe if they had wanted to. But they didn't want to do that until they had their own super bombs.
