Well I am going to blame you for the whole thing cos while I was looking it up I had to read a Daily Express article and now I will have to go and burn my eyes out

Sorry Fenton, It could have been worse though.  I remembered it from the book "A thousand years of annoying the French" that i had read. When I looked it up I had to read a Daily Mail article  ;D

More to the point, have the French ever made a good automatic weapon?

The Hotchkiss M1914 is a great weapon

The one with the strip of ammunition that totally failed to work if it was dropped?
