Gun autism: Chauchat LMG

Fun fact: this gun shows up in Fallout Tactics as an item you can pick up, however it is completely useless as a weapon. As in you literally can't shoot it. I dunno if the devs threw it in as a joke or what.

us it inspired one of my favorite guns in Warframe The Soma. It's magh moves through thhe gun like a nerf magazine and I love how dumb this is

snag a sock plushee before they're gone

I’m forever going to defend this gun since the engineers were given a ridiculous task of making a machine gun out of the glorified traffic cone of a bullet 8mm Lebel AND IT WORKED and was CHEAP like able to be made in a bicycle factory cheap

My dream gun may be absolute trash but I still love it

Now talk about how the French made a gun that only shot in 3 round bursts and made the standard magazine not divisible by 3. They still do this. They are still like this.

How the fuck does a gun that fires this slow have over heating issues

me" oh kewl gun Jfj: the French Me:

At least American soldiers got the BAR in 1918. Now that's an automatic rifle that doesn't look like it was rushed into production half-finished.

I'm surprised that talking about this gun didn't summon Ian.

HUNGARY MENTIONEDDDD RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺

This thing went hard in BF1 tho

THANK YOU for including the BF1 versions specifically It’s fucking amazing in it somehow but every other piece of media is accurate Meaning it sucks lmao

for a 100 years old gun designed and put in production in months (not years) it is still impressive when you compare it to the alternative, a bolt action rifle, it was leaps and bounds ahead, we french have a habit of creating amazing stuff and then sucking at it for years

Your better of using it as a club

Oooh I'm also someone with Autism who loves old guns like the Chauchat :3

Most the issues with the Chauchat is specific to the American version, to be fair. The french one as I understand it was pretty solid. Sure, it was a bit temperamental, but no more than any other firearm of its era. And many of those were far heavier pieces too.

BATTLEFIELD 1 MENTIONEDDDDD

The fuckin uhhhh rattler from arc raiders

It reminds me of the rattler in Arc Raiders.

Nah, the Americans got it and said:

Ugh Arrgh FRENCH

And thats why the BAR and lewis were the better LMGs

Chauchat my beloved

The French: We made a rifle, she is so pretty, and very damaged. The Americans: I CAN FIX HER!!!1!

I'm going to frog you.

I loved this gun in Battlefield 1

Hey it's the Rattler from ARC Raiders!

Learn from your mistakes. Mass producing and then half assed retrofitting them and trying again was certainly a choice, but maybe that just amplified the importance.

I was just talking with my papa about how jokes about/making fun of the french are popular in internet culture. Many thanks for proving my point lmao

And that’s why the BAR exists.

I have decided to ignore all those issues and will keep saying its better than the Lewis. Also give us the RSC video

That oui wee piece really reminds me of Warframe's soma sadly it got a bigger nerf than the in game counterpart
