Hotchkiss Portative Mk.I

A British adaptation of the French Hotchkiss Portative M1909 machinegun, notable for it's use of metal feed strips in lieu of more conventional feeding methods. The British version of the weapon lacked the radical modifications of the later American version, but nonetheless featured the addition of a carrying handle and the replacement of the bipod of the French version with an unusual mini-tripod on top of the cartridge changes. The Mk.I model was only used by a few cavalry regiments and most of vast production of guns were Mk.I* models, intended to be used on tanks and modified by removing the stock and replacing it with a pistol grip and detachable metal stock.

Browning Automatic Rifle M1918

A rifle developed together with the Browning M1917 machine gun to satisfy the US Army's need for modern machine guns going into WW1. The BAR was intended to replace the Hotchkiss and Chauchat machine guns used by the US Army, but was only issued in limited numbers towards the end of the war. Designed for walking fire, the BAR failed to live up to the hopes set on it by the US Army as either a rifle or a machine gun. It had too much recoil to be used effectively as a battle rifle and too small of a magazine to be used as a support machine gun, which resulted in the US army being left without a proper squad support weapon until the introduction of the M60 and later M249 machine guns.
Nevertheless the BAR was an accurate marksman weapon when used correctly and civilian and semi-automatic versions remain popular even today.
