  1. With the Lebel's strong receiver, I'm surprised the French Army didn't adopt the M27 as a squad level grenade launcher. Issuing the rest of the riflemen the Berthier M34.

  2. Nobody knows how bad it was. French military bureacracts hid the costs of the accidents (medical care, disability pensions, widow's benefits etc.) in the budget for WW1 casualties.

  4. Because you want your colonial troops to be better armed than any rebels: Who would have access to WW1 surplus wepons. Often more modern than 8mm Lebel.
