yeah, but world war one, was the last of the ancient wars, and the first of the modern ones, with all the new equipment and stuff, also, its kinda obvious the chauchat is prone to jamming as the clip has a huge gap in it. And in trench warfare, you have to get dirty alot, so it sucks. Oh anyone know what the canadian rifle was, the first one used i know was a sporting rifle, and was signle loading i think. And so lots of people deemed it unfit for trench warfare.
