The Mousqueton Modele 1916 "Berthier" is a French bolt-action rifle designed by Emile Berthier, chambered in 8x50mmR Lebel which feeds from a 5-round fixed magazine. It was renowned for its compact size and reliability in the trenches of the Western Front. Its lightweight and manoeuvrable design made it well-suited for cavalry units and other mobile troops. The Berthier series of rifles had not seen major upgrades since the 1890s, but this new presentation gave French assault troops something new to work with, more suited to their kind of work. Although considered obsolete in Oceanyka due to the proliferation of pistols, SMGs and assault rifles, a few mad men still run Berthier carbines to clear trenches and sweep rooms.
