[QUOTE="Silverstrike, post: 15534318, member: 4781"] I'm laughing at this whole Chauchat being unreliable, that is not the case as the original 8X50 Lebel types ran good. Only when the US entered the war and the French rechambered them to fire the standard US Military 30-06 round did it then began to not cycle or function. The reason being the French didn't make the chamber big enough so as to cause the brass casing to expand. lack of this expansion caused the case to stick and then have the rim then be ripped and so not having anything for the extractor to grab and so it was stuck there until pried out with either a knife or a flat bladed tool of some kind. It is because of this rechambered ShoSho as us that fight in the French order of battle during the Great War call the light machine rifle, that it gets it less than earned reputation for reliability.
