Barrage à trois
Look, buddy, numbers in French are hard enough as it is.
The French only learned to count to 60 (except for the dialect that learned to count to 70)
But 60 is divisible by 3.
Not in French.
Except…
This works as a tactile feedback that your mag is empty.
Wine at lunch is just one of their secret weapons.
I just involuntarily hon hon hon-ed at this revelation
M1 Garand: Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power
I’ve heard this before, and believed it to be a practical design for a while, but when I started shooting, I realized that you can definitely tell when you’ve ran out of bullets in the mag because the bolt typically locks back and feels distinctly different than a normal cycle
In a combat situation, with other explosions and shit going on around you, it’s easier to feel two pops instead of three or whatever than to notice your bolt locked after three pops.
It’s designed for war, it’s not a toy for the range.
Fair enough. They should’ve installed a little speaker that went, “sacrebleu! You have run out of ze bullets!” instead. I think that would’ve been more noticeable than just two pops instead of three.
It’s hard to figure out who is out of bullets by counting pops, it’s easier to aim at the guys who’s gun just yelled “Sacre blue”
It depends. If you’re fighting the French and hear, “sacrebleu”, you may just think one of them is starting a sentence.
Also important, if instead you hear “tabarnak” or “calice”, that’s probably a Quebecois spy and you should leave them alive as your goals are likely aligned against the French.
Should probably change the sound of the gun firing to sound like croissa-a-a-ant so we can tell them apart from American gun which of course just play country music.
from American gun which of course just play country music.
Ever wonder why our guns burst fire in three? Listen to the intro to “Fortunate Son”.
It’s designed for war, it’s not a toy for the range
visible American confusion
The rifle pictured is a FAMAS, and the bolt does not lock open after the last round.
Though you’re not totally wrong, fewer bangs than you expect on the last trigger pull is pretty easy to notice.
because +1 in the chamber
25+1 is still not divisible by 3. The FAMAS F1 is just not well thought through. I mean they kind of fixed it with the G2 that takes standard STANAG mags.
