Mr. Matheson,

I believe we discussed our concerns over this weapon before? I consider the most serious problem the lack of positive clearance of spent casings from the mechanism.

As for the Chauchat comment, bloody hell! You know your history! I had to look the bugger up!

For those of you who don't know (like me), the Chauchat was considered the worst MG to ever serve with any country, it was rare to fire off a 20rd magazine without a stoppage occurring. And then you most likely had to disassemble the weapon!
