Worst gun ever, only dropped once

I think this used to be a Glock.

    Considering the Chauchat was used in the trenches of WW1, you may want to reconsider your “dropped once” comment… Or haven’t you heard of Verdun?

    I think people are far too critical of the Chauchat. The French used it throughout the war, and into the 20’s, without issue. Of course, the French version was chambered in the revolutionary, radically tapered and rimmed 8mm Lebel, not the long, sleek, rimless .30-06. Condemning the Chauchat because it didn’t work in a caliber IT WASN’T DESIGNED FOR is kinda like condemning AR-15’s because the .22LR conversion kit you bought doesn’t work. You wouldn’t try to convert a .40 S&W Glock to .38 Special and then complain that ALL Glocks are unreliable, would you?

    @armed_partisan:

    Actually, it’s more like saying that all ARs suck because your AR chambered for 7.62x39mm is a jam-o-matic.

    The Chauchat isn’t the worst gun ever built, but it was a kluge, and it’s flaws made it highly unsuited for the harsh realities of the first world war.

    Honestly though, I wonder how many of the Chauchat’s flaws were present in the prototypes, and how many only materialized once the gun went into mass production; In short, were it’s issues fundamental, or were they introduced through out-of-spec components/ammo/lack of maintenance, like with the M16.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
