If the Frogs make such world class firearms (LeBel and Chaqqacuat LMG-1914- Maginot line 1930's et al) why did the greatest gun designer to ever use a drafting table (John Moses browning) go to Liege, Belgium in 1903 and have FN make his A-5 autoloading shotty gun (after Edward Bennett at WRA brushed him off and Marcellus Hartley at Rem-UMC fubared the deal with a big time heart attack and John was cooling his Morman styled heels in the waiting room at Ilion- and why did FN make all the great autoloading pistols for WW11 and beyond- I carried an FN 9mm "in country" great weapon, as was/still is the 1911 and 1911-A-1. Show me one Frenchie made military weapon that has stood up next to the masterful hand of John Browning and his pals at Leige BELGIUM--The Darne shotgun may be OK, but Regis Darne- Regis Philbin- Regis Dustbin- WTF is up with that??
