Does it work like common assault rifles?

Nice piece of history you've got there (:

[menhir06]

@nzigen31 The CSRG 1915 is the very first assault rifle used in large quantities.

to be fair, if ww1 was fought with m16s, they would suffer similar problems, muddy, dirty, and moist environments never work well with guns.

just weld some metal onto the magazine to keep it clean

@vamisk

The left side window was compulsory to help loading the conical cartridges into the half moon magazine.

The open bottom of the lewis gun suffered the same fate if muddy, and the ammo belt on the LMG 08/15 also.

talk about a crappy rifle its on failed inventions on history channel

[menhir06]

@SupraNirvana it's un healthy to beieve everything that's shown on TV without crosschecking its value with other or better personnal experience, so much is just unverified copy and past (history channel being a good example of it.

@MrBillcale , few have survived, mostly in museums, there are quite a few in working condition in the hands of US collectors, they are very appreciated by their owner, just as they were appreciated by the soldiers in WWI, for the direct, on the move fire support they provided.

The CSRG 1915 is one of the few tools that helped win WWI.

Thats a beautiful piece there. Despite its reputation, the simplicity and design of it had potential and. It did have success believe it or not. Make it tactical :p

How do you load it?

[zorbaknecromancer]

@menhir06 i think its not an assault rifle.. its a light machine gun

[jmantime]

we need a ww1 first person shooter

I saw a guy who posed in a magazine with this once in 72!

The above book is from Collector's grade publications, but youtube won't let me post the address.

Might also want to read the "Other sixteen" website, about alvin york and the other, forgotten unsung soldiers who were besides him in his 'single-handed' capture of a german MG nest, as the bulk of the group's firepower was... the 'crappy' CSRG 1915.
