After the Dunkirk the British military have lost most of their firearms production of the Lee Enfield Mk4 was starting to ramp up so they went to the drawing board and prototype a stop gap rifle
The last ditch Enfield P14:
The rifle was still in .303 British but had a more stripped down and simplified design they simplified the bolt for easier action but take less time to make left apart of the stock hollow to save on wood use but also make the rifle lighter skimp on wood on the receiver to save wood and time and gave the stock a boxy look while to fore grip a messy look and removed the prongs on the front sight and gave the ring a simple flip up sight of 300-600 meters and finally gave it a simplifies spike bayonet which can be taken out turned around and attached to the rifle with its P14 5 round internal magazine size.
The design would overall make the gun lighter too shoot and reload but the bolt would make it shoot 58 rpm and very much br1 and the squad would be a 9 man Rifleman squad with a Engineer and AT.
