This video features a range test and comparison of two French autoloading rifles: the RSC-1918 and the RSC-1917. The RSC-1917 is highlighted as the first self-loading rifle to see substantial combat use, with over 85,000 produced. The 1918 model is presented as an improvement with a shorter barrel and refined gas system, utilizing standard Berthier 5-round charger clips. The shooter notes the 1917's greater comfort due to size and weight, while the 1918 is handier but requires a firm grip. A practical observation is made regarding the original clips being disposable, as they deform after a few uses, potentially causing malfunctions.

This video analyzes and compares France's World War I semi-automatic rifles, the RSC-1917 and its improved Model 1918 variant. The RSC-1917, a pioneering self-loading rifle for elite troops, had issues with length, specialized clips, a fragile gas system, and a delicate magazine cover. The RSC-1918 addressed these shortcomings with a shorter profile, standard Berthier clips, a strengthened magazine cover, and an improved gas system, though it arrived too late for WWI service. The video details these differences and demonstrates the disassembly of the 1918 gas system.
