Brutal that the French military was stuck with the Lebel Model 1886 rifle through the war. The downside of rushing to be the earliest adopter of smokeless powder is that everyone else is going to have better rifles when they catch up.

This car is going to be a Christmas gift for someone who didn't play Gaslands but likes the custom cars. It's magnetized to the base so it can be displayed standalone.
Slow clap, Mr. Mulder. Slow clap.
The last horse has finally crossed the finish line. I suppose now the real question is...what are you going to do about it?
More than the mechanisms themselves, the calibers, magazines, and belts are all wrong for a NATO country looking to be on the standard. 7.62x39mm is a truly archaic caliber for a service rifle. 7.62x54r is also a choice locking the military into a very narrow band of options. Much better to get on NATO calibers if old ammunition stocks are getting low.
Scully believed in the high level idea of the X-Files since nearly the very beginning. That's why she stayed loyal to Mulder. Scully often doesn't believe in specific theories pushed by Mulder in individual episodes, and she is often correct that his initial theory is wrong. Without Scully's skepticism and stress testing of Mulder's theories, many investigations would go down completely wrong paths.
Chapter Master is a great 40k 4x fan game project if you are willing to put up with a level of visual jank that comes with a long running fan project.
A color photo of a similar suit: 
The British, French, and Germans all made similar handmade camouflage outfits.
In the picture below is a lineup of British soldiers in handmade suits:
The online text with this picture read: "in 1917 the Camouflage Section of the British Army’s Royal Engineers hand painted sniper suits to blend in with the surrounding terrain. Hand painting was required because the technology to mass produce camouflage pattern material did not become available until the early 1920s." (This information is unattributed to a primary source.)
Yes. Very cool to see the Build Engine getting a revival.
Even something like Selaco or Hedon which run on GZDoom instead of an "authentic" older engine.
The novelty of amazing graphics has long ago worn off for me and I prefer simplier graphical fidelity with an art style and sharp gameplay instead. I think also from a money standpoint if a developer wants to capture the wider nostalgia audience, that direction is better able to do it.
Fat babies need the most attention.
It would be cool if instead of remaking/upscaling/remastering old games, companies made new games using old (or tastefully modified) old engines and graphics. I would totally be down for a new, official Deus Ex game on Unreal 1.
But the comment isn't pointing you anywhere else. And the commenter didn't make the thread. And the wallet is actually real.

The short version with the Berthier is that it was very limited by the 8mm Lebel cartridge. It is a terrible cartridge to design a rifle around.
