The J.C. White Self‑Loading Rifle .30‑06 is an extremely rare, one‑of‑a‑kind experimental semi‑automatic rifle developed in the early 1930s for U.S. Army trials, featuring a unique side‑mounted gas system and toggle‑lock action
In 1929, the U.S. War Department invited manufacturers to submit candidate semi‑automatic rifles. J.C. White, then an engineer at the United Shoe Machinery Company, presented an unfinished prototype in August 1929. He requested a six‑week extension to complete it, but was denied. The Ordnance Board had already selected the M1 Garand and Pedersen rifles for further testing, and White’s submission was disapproved
Undaunted, White continued work and in May 1930 submitted two completed rifles — one a 30‑06 “light machine gun” prototype (semi‑auto only) and another the toggle‑locked .30‑06 rifle
These were part of a set of three experimental rifles, all kept together in a wooden box for over 50 years until discovered in 2006

  • Operation: Short‑recoil, toggle‑locking action with a side‑mounted gas system
  • Caliber: .30‑06 Springfield.
  • Magazine: 10‑round end‑block clip (larger than Garand’s 8‑round clip)
  • Locking System: Toggle lock held down by a bolt lock; firing stresses borne by locking lugs rather than pins. Unlike Pedersen’s delayed blowback toggle rifle, this was a positively locked action, but British trials found it fragile for combat use

I’m just saying no purely because it was a one-off. Sure there are plenty of experimental and prototype weapons in Enlisted, but as far as I am aware none of them were one-off. Because even in the context of enlisted, it would be very unrealistic to unlock 2,3 or 4 weapons of a type that only 1 existed.

That’s the problem it’s already here how much of japans tech tree is single digit weapons. Us produced weapons of war m1 rifles and carbines in the millions. The us did not do limited production weapons like the br2 Italian semi auto with 100 of them it ,adopted,. You either get full production or prototypes with nothing in the middle. Also a lot of Germany gear is stolen or reproduction using captured facilities. The us had its own gear and made enough for itself the army, marines and those of the Commonwealth and soviets. The us did not need to beg borrow or steal and still was the only country to replace bolt action rifles with semi automatics.

Sorry but I don’t consider a thousand fg42s to be any more tech tree then 10.

But I’m not even certain that the rifle you’re suggesting was even tested at the very least, because from what information was given it sounded like the weapon was knocked back each time before testing.

Unlike the Japanese prototypes which had multiple copies and were at the very least tested.

I am sure all single digit of them were tested to breaking point, my point is not that theses should count but that such weapons don’t really exist for the us, Germany includes
Germany, italy, austria, hungry, romania, and more. That 4 million grands should not be the same category as 1000 fg42 1s or 2 000 fg42 2s
Should the hei, otsu, type 4 be in game, yes should the be tech tree nooooo

The White rifles and machine gun were tested by the United States and Britain. The Machine Gun (BAR magazine one) had a cyclic rate of 500 RPM in British testing.

Only one of each weapon was manufactured.
