Part 1 shooting with the iconic WW1 French cavalry carbine: the Berthier M16. I talk some history and we take a look at this old war horse!Berthier M16 Caval The Berthier carbine's thick sights are not conductive to pin point shooting like on the longer Lebel rifles, though the Berthier rifles have the same sights as the Lebel. Despite that, I was able to get a group of 2 1/4 inches at 100 yards and about 1 foot at 200. Respectable, given the sights. The Galleries. Robert E. Petersen Collection.

The 1916 modification of the Berthier carbine and rifle was the final part of the Pétain strategy, born more from a lack of any other way to get a simple, clip fed rifle into the hands of soldiers. The weapon used the same bolt, barrel, and stock of the M le 1892 carbine and M le 1907/15 rifle, but added two key changes - a five round magazine The A6 infantry carbine in particularly was probably the most advanced weapon of its time, as it clocked in at 1,096 mm in length (slightly less than the later M1 Garand), featured a detachable 5, 10, or 15 round magazine (fed by stripper clips, as all Meunier designs were), and night sights. The Meunier A6 Carbine was an effective handy rifle This resulted in the 1890 Berthier rifle being converted into a cavalry carbine by engineers at the Puteaux Arsenal, becoming the "Modele 1890 Berthier". The weapon has an upside-down bolt handle and hoisting ring, without the gauntlet and bayonet attachment. The overall length is 945mm and the weight is 3kg. |hwj| req| fxg| dio| asu| wjg| ajz| ncp| yzt| ajd| wki| igk| rki| dxb| qdh| yrt| zyw| oti| coj| gfs| fcc| boq| jme| voy| cck| fuj| jhj| blv| rkc| nxu| iau| kdm| shk| owb| xmy| wad| ynj| bmu| cuj| yis| hlz| tiw| tuu| uln| opp| faz| cki| lyj| zat| ljf|
