This video delves into the fascinating use of the Winchester Model 1894 rifle by the French military during World War I. It highlights the purchase of 15,100 units in 1913-1914, intended as supplemental arms for drivers and airfield guards, and as a backup emergency weapon for aircraft crews. The description notes two key modifications: the addition of side-mounted sling swivels and metric range markings on the rear sight, extending to 1000 meters. The video contrasts these with other primary emergency aircraft weapons like the Winchester Self-Loader and the Berthier.
