Horrendous design suitable only for trench warfare of yesteryear. It's hard to believe they made those obsolete guns well into the fifties when Mod. 12, 31, 37s were readily available. Someone with large hands could very well end up with chunk of skin missing!
Climbing into the saddle of a spirited warhorse; a time-proven horse that then promptly and thoroughly bucks you off into the dust has proven only one thing.
Your own inability to ride this horse!
NOTHING about the true quality of the horse has been determined by this rider.
Jagermeister,
As you dust yourself off, know this is a moment to listen; not a time to speak!
