Idea for British Semi-Auto Engineer Squad 🇬🇧

They can get the M1915 Howell Automatic Rifle as their main weapon. It was a semi-automatic conversion of the SMLE.


It will also be a perfect opportunity to introduce the Royal Marines to the game.

Oi, quite a brilliant idea, mate. A few more ol’ British chaps would be jolly good, wouldn’t it?

This is just a semi auto rifle that use fully powered cartridge.
So this is just a engineer squad, why are you naming it assault engineer?

Couldn’t really find a good assault rifle for the British. This is more like a select fire rifles than an assault rifle. But granted that we have the Fedorov (which should also be a select fire rifle but is actually an AR in-game) this one can definitely be listed as one.

Yep. You can check out this weapon in BF 1 as well.

full auto, firing .303 British, could be loaded with 10 rounds or 30 round Bren mags.
If Fedorov can be an AR than Reider should be too, just max its damage to 10 and its reasonable balanced.

The problem is this is not even selective fire rifle, it can’t fire fully automatically .

Isn’t there already that semi auto SMLE that was a premium at some point? IDK what it is.

It was the Turner SMLE. A premium radio operator squad for the Battle of Tunisia.

I still can’t figure out how a human being is supposed to hold this thing.

The King has ordained that we use this weapon and thus we will…
