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.
