this country in terms of the number of interesting weapons samples can draw on a full fledged faction and at the same time their weapons stand out strongly against the background of the usual weapons samples of the main participants in the conflict

and many other things, I used to find a Swiss Sturmgever with a folding butt (although in the discussion under it they were not sure if it was exactly from the Second World War)

Should US really get this when I’m sure that US tested a lot of Domestic made rifles in the trials to chose M1 Garand in fact if I’m not mistaken in the same trials a Garand prototype was used along T1 Pedersen rifle . The Garand prototype used was M1924 model

The forgotten weapon made a video about it you can check it out.
And nice topic this reminds me there was a toggle-locked rifle( Bommarito Semi-Automatic Rifle) that was tested which was made by an Italian immigrant which would make that a great choice if you want something exotic.
