Vive la mort,
Vive la Guerre,
Vive le sacre Mercenaire.

To be fair you didn't specify which war.

Such an advanced piece of kit reflecting an understanding of modern warfare. We didn't get it until the 60s, and then it was only partly getting it with a .223 caliber, finicky direct impingement system that required much tweaking to get right. The AK/AKM was right, right out the gate, with an intermediate cartridge and format based upon this, but better.
