The new semi-automatic rifle of the US military: Winchester M1907 semi-automatic rifle
At present, we already have this type of rifle with a magazine capacity of 30 rounds.
But there are several other versions of it as well.
The Winchester M1907 semi-automatic rifle adopts the free-bolt mechanism for automatic operation. Before firing, you need to press the push rod below the barrel to load the first round. During firing, the recoil force pushes the bolt backward to eject the cartridge and compress the recoil spring. When the recoil spring extends back to its original position, it pushes the bolt forward and takes a round from the magazine to chamber and lock it. This rifle uses a detachable box-type magazine for ammunition supply, with capacities of 5, 10, and 20 rounds. The muzzle energy of the.351 Winchester Self-Loading round fired by this rifle is similar to that of the.30-30 Winchester rifle round and the modern.35 Remington rifle round.

In October 1915, the French government placed an order with Winchester for 300 M1907 semi-automatic rifles. Soon after, an additional 2,500 were ordered. In 1917 and 1918, another 2,200 were purchased. By 1917, a total of 15 million rounds of ammunition had been purchased.
In 1916, the Royal Arsenal of the United Kingdom ordered 120 M1907 semi-automatic rifles and 78,000 rounds of matching ammunition from Winchester, which were to be equipped for the rear-seat observers of the Royal Flying Corps (the predecessor of the Royal Air Force). The trigger guards of these rifles were specially enlarged to accommodate shooters wearing cold-weather gloves, and they were equipped with 15-round magazines.
Do you hope to see these two types of weapons in our game?
We are tired of playing with the M1 carbine. Give us some new semi-automatic rifles instead!
