No mention of the Chauchat machine rifle? LOL

Some things are best left unmentioned....

(Ironically, in the book on the Chauchat, the author described a mint 8mm French example being “tuned” by an armorer. Once some rough edges and other “bugs” were corrected, it actually performed well for a machine gun of the time.)
