[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1533897, member: 14668"] You would be referring to the "Chauchaut" light machine gun of World War One vintage, which was indeed a complete piece of junk. It jammed constantly and the innards of its magazine were exposed to the elements which allowed the mud and snow of trench warfare to get inside and gum up the works. The French finally got their act together after WW2, and from the Cold War onward they have produced fighter aircraft and missile technology that is every bit as good as ours. [/QUOTE]
