The bolt of the rifle was removed and what in effect was a semi auto 32 cal pistol took its place allowing the use of the same trigger and barrel and had something like a 15 or 20 round magazine feeding in from the top. The idear was that when the soldiers were going over the top in attack they would blaze away at the enemy putting them off there game. <br /><br /> AussieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-38129356816675256432015-06-17T13:31:51.008-07:002015-06-17T13:31:51.008-07:00By necessity I had to gloss over most if not every...By necessity I had to gloss over most if not everything.

Whole books have been written to the genesis of the assault rifle.<br /><br />If you mention WW1 then you have to mention the Chauchat LMG, which was made for mobile, suppressive fire and was mass-produced in small workshops, much like the Sten would be later several decases later. It was the first weapon of the "20th century". Contrary to the US-led propaganda it was functionning quite well, only the US-manufactured .30-06 version was a disaster.<br /><br />You also have to mention the submachine gun and for instance the role of finnish tactics into this.<br /><br />As I said, it is a complicated story, a journey of many small steps.Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.com
