start a discussion. what d you want to see in terms of guns/ weapons?
Paris gun?
i mean i terms of handheld weaponry
Lee Enfield
Springfield
Carcano M91
Mannlicher Model 1888
Meunier A6
Farquhar-Hill
Mauser M1916
^^^ nice guns
Colt 1903 pocket hammerless because I own one and because they were used in both wars as an officer’s pistol. It was a favourite of quite a few generals.
They were in .32ACP and .380 (1908 variant)
Winchester model 1887/M1901
M1918 BAR
Early proto Thompson submachine gun
Lee enfield
Springfield
I’m simple, I just want two guns to be happy. The Winchester M1895 (already confirmed), and the M1917 “American” Enfield.
The AE was the most common rifle among US soldiers, by Nov. 1918 it made up roughly 75ish% of the rifles in US hands. So I’ll be a little annoyed if the Springfield is in while the AE isn’t.
The Canadian Ross rifle and this.
Webley & Scott 1913 Naval Model Automatic Pistol
That thing looks neat.
The Ross wasn’t the best rifle, but I’d still like to see it in game, since that’s what we (Canada and Dominion of Newfoundland) originally deployed with.
While for most troops it was eventually phased out, it did remain a favorite of snipers throughout the war for it’s accuracy. It was the weapon used by Francis Peghamagabow, an ace sniper of WW1.
Have you read Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden? It’s inspired by Peghamagabow. It’s a great novel. I highly recommend it. I read it in two days it was that good.
It’s on my reading list now!
All of them!
Winchesters.
Lee Enfields
Gewhers
Pattern Enfield 1917
Mortars
Lewis and maxim mg emplacements
Stick, and m2 grenades
Periscope rifle attactment
Water drip rifle attachment
I’d say French weapons but they aren’t included in the game and by God did they jam, mainly mgs and later smgs
It’s easier to say ALL OF THEM. There were lots of weapons back then and it would be great to see them all in BF1.
Particulary I really want to see following weapons:
DEFINETELY Fedorov Avtomat - russian automatic rifle. Yes, full auto.
DEFINETELY Chauchat C.S.R.G. Model 1915 - french LMG with original design.
DEFINETELY german Luger P08 pistol.
DEFINETELY Mauser C96 in stockless variant and short barrel as a sidearm.
DEFINETELY Villar Perosa SMG - ancestor of Beretta M1918 that is already in the game. Had two barrels.
DEFINETELY Nagant M1895 revolver.
DEFINETELY Browning Auto 5 - semi-auto shotgun.
Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifle. - Was used by Russian Empire. Came in a lot of variants with different barrel lengts.
The whole barrel length thing is a good thing to use in BF1 to make rifles more different from each other.
Members of Arisaka bolt-action rifle family - japanese.
Krag–Jørgensen rifle - norwegian rifle. Utilized one of 3 different ammo types. Variant adopted by USA as Springfield M1992 (and M1996, M1998, M1899).
Springfield M1903 (1906 variant). Krag–Jørgensen rifle can be similar to M1903 so it’d be better to choose model that is as different from M1903 as possible.
.455 Webley revolver.
S&W M1917 revolver.
Berthier rifle - french bolt-action.
Carcano M1891 - italian rifle.
M1903 and M1911. That’s all I need.
MAUSER!!!
A Martini-Henry lever-action, single shot rifle… because f*ck it, that’s why.
The M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle.
