MAS-40 - 7.5x54mm French. This was the second prototype in the line of MAS semi-automatic rifles, right after the first MAS-38/39 variant. While the MAS-38/39 was loaded from 20-round Chatellerault M1924/29 magazines, the MAS-40 was fed from a standard fixed 5-round magazine (similar to the MAS-36). It was produced only in very small quantities, and was never officially issued by the French army. The stocks of rifles were eventually captured by the German army, but were left without interest. In 1944, they were recapture and ended up in the hands of the Resistance.
