Interesting rifle, though, not reliable.

How was it unreliable?

Well, that's what I read.

Fair enough, I read it too.

Most semiautomatic rifles at that time weren't very reliable.

That too is true, even the Selbstlader M1916 wasn't the best either.

ODSThero In reply to FFDP-Guy [2018-07-28 22:50:25 +0000 UTC]

Not to mention it's burdened with an impossible to pronunce name (Unless your a German.).

FFDP-Guy In reply to ODSThero [2018-07-29 09:50:43 +0000 UTC]

The Selbstlader or the RSC 1917?

ODSThero In reply to FFDP-Guy [2018-07-29 15:20:50 +0000 UTC]

The Selbstlader.

FFDP-Guy In reply to ODSThero [2018-07-29 15:25:22 +0000 UTC]

I usually break down Seblstlader into two words, Seblst and Lader.

ODSThero In reply to FFDP-Guy [2018-07-29 15:34:15 +0000 UTC]

I swear, words like 'Selbstlader' are what I get for making Germans say 'squirrel'.

FFDP-Guy In reply to ODSThero [2018-07-29 15:43:35 +0000 UTC]

The German langauge has such long and complicated words at times.

But why the Japanese cartridges?

ODSThero In reply to FFDP-Guy [2018-08-01 23:01:59 +0000 UTC]

Why do you think they use a japanese cartridge?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FFDP-Guy In reply to ODSThero [2018-08-02 09:03:23 +0000 UTC]

Probably due to the abundance of Type 30 Arisaka rifles they had.

ODSThero In reply to FFDP-Guy [2018-08-03 00:46:05 +0000 UTC]

The Russians bought Type 30 Arisakas?

FFDP-Guy In reply to ODSThero [2018-08-03 10:09:36 +0000 UTC]

Yes, they got them from the British Royal Navy as they had them too.
