From the blurry looking magazine, it indeed seems to be the MG14 Parabellum. Does not look like an MG15nA but then again its concept art.

Wonder what gun the assault is carrying, looks like some sort of lever action shotgun perhaps?

EDIT: Ok I am positive its the MG14, look at that distinctive long bipid, the rounded magazine with openings and quite possibly the front end of a scope as seen in the photo. The Sight also appears to be rounded where as the MG15nA is flat.

looks mor like a good'ol vertical double barrel breech loader.

i'm actually more interested in the cavalryman weapon, that thing is absurdly long.

Might also be a Mosin; if you look closly you see the bottom is less long than the top; which along with the angle (which was also the reason I suspected a classic russian hunting shotgun at first) the stock suddenly goes coincides with that of a Mosin.

And yes, the gun is absolutely an MG14/17; the carrying handle is way off for a MG15. Though, it isn't the only externally sourced LMG; you are forgetting the Darne, the Kjellman, Marlingun (basically a Potato digger without any potato digging) and the Burton, and I am expected both the Darne and the Burton in a DLC, and possibly the Kjellman in a weaponcrate DLC along with the Carcanno which is missing and which should put DICE on death row if they have the audicity to introduce an SIR as a payed DLC weapon.

II am also intrigued by the lance; its probably a weapon you have to aim at your enemy instead of a radius based weapon

nah, the stock in the image is much bigger, with a much more pronounced angle and more "pointy" than a mosin.

p.s.: also the fact that that the wooden part of the body/barrel is shorter than the actual barrel is the biggest reason as to why i heavily doubt it's a mosin.

I also initially thought that, but most over-under shotguns I find don't really have a angled body; this tends to be a feature of side-by-side shotguns which by the rectangular look of the silloute, this gun most certainly isn't.

Though the shape doesn't align with the infantry mosin and only somewhat with the dragoon mosin, and the length isn't congruent with the M07 mosin, that might be artist error.

Anyways, I hope we actually get a Krnka instead of a over-under shotty.

I also looked long and hard for Russian shotguns; which Tula provided me in numbers, but couldn't find any over-under shotguns, though I found a vareity of side-by-side shotguns along with a few that were considered innovative at the time

maybe a single shot shotgun?

Another proper belt-fed MG? About damn time! Very excited for the MG14. The lance for Cavalry should be fun too, I suppose it would replace the sabre, and on that note it makes even more sense they fixed the sabre's very long range now. The other rifle looks to be the M1900 double barrel that's already in the files, it's just held at an angle, slightly tilted away from us. The soldier holding it definitely looks to be Assault too.

I'm also super hyped for snow maps, my favourite setting.

A lance is going to be very tough to balance: if it's got crazy reach it'll make the cav sword obsolete on horseback. If it requires insane precision with the tip or doesn't let you engage much side to side it will be redundant with the road killing potential of the horse itself.

Not sure what they will do once you dismount, I bet the lance will be horse-locked (as is the gun if you remount as a non-cav class), and you use a sword on foot regardless.
