Pyr0m4n14c: Happy Fathers' Day, folks. Anyway, from now on I'm gonna start changing it to "Mauser" instead of "Argentine", since it was adopted by the Belgians first and used all over; it's called that in the US because surplus Argie 1891s are common.

	The '''Chauchat''', officially the '''Fusil Mitrailleur Modele 1915 CSRG''' ("Machine Rifle Model 1915 Chauchat, Sutter, Ribeyrolles and Gladiator", the four names referring to designers Louis Chauchat and Charles Sutter, and Paul Ribeyrolles, the general manager of the Gladiator company which produced the weapon) was a French light machine gun that went into service in 1915 with the French Army, and was used primarily during the First World War. The weapon was designed according to the same concept as the [[Browning Automatic Rifle]], a "walking fire" gun that could be fired from the hip by an advancing soldier to suppress an enemy trench line. It was an extremely unusual design in that it used gas-assisted long recoil operation in a fully-automatic firearm, creating a very low rate of fire of 240rpm, and had a bizarre U-shaped 20-round magazine to accommodate the sharply tapered 8x50mmR Lebel round.

Line 12:		Line 12:
	Additional problems included the poorly designed 8mm Lebel magazines, made of thin metal that deformed easily and with an opening on the right-hand side (intended to allow the loader to monitor the remaining ammunition) which allowed mud and debris to enter freely, only exacerbated by the tendency to heavily oil the magazines to ensure proper feeding: magazine-related failures were responsible for some 75% of stoppages in the 8mm Lebel version. The .30-06 model had a closed-sided but still flimsy box magazine. All Gladiator-produced guns had sights incorrectly set low and to the right, the jarring recoil from the long recoil action, poor ergonomics and a loose bipod made the weapon inaccurate outside short bursts, using a normal cheek weld rather than lying at 45 degrees to the gun and resting on top of the action would result in a ridge tearing the shooter's cheek, and there was a tendency for the 8mm Lebel version to fail to feed on the first round if the magazine was fully loaded. To top all this off, it is unclear if US forces received any instructions in operating the Chauchat: no American service manual for the .30-06 version has ever been found. Almost all .30-06 Chauchats that reached the front line appear to have been thrown away by their operators, and very few ever made it that far, being traded for 8mm Lebel versions: images of the Mle 1918 being used in combat are practically non-existent.

	It was replaced in French service by the [[Chatellerault Light Machine Gun]], a weapon based on the Browning Automatic Rifle action, but the Chauchat turned up during the Spanish Civil War (one member of the International Brigades declaring it to be "the most outstandingly useless weapon I have ever seen" and saying his unit threw all of theirs away on the first day of action) and saw limited use in World War 2. The Belgians seemed fairly happy with their 7.~~65x54mm Argentine~~ version (a redesign which featured a fully enclosed box magazine and a number of mechanical improvements) and used it well into the 1930s.
