WARM SEASON, 1921, DR Phase
Reports on the effort expended to make plans for various pieces of equipment and modified versions of some has come in, and are as follows.
Locally produced 8x50mmR Lebel is well on its way to being complete, and will be finished in the cold season. It is reported to be identical to what came out of the French arsenals.
Work on 10cm ammunition for our Feldhaubitze has hit snags in work, but will be done in turn for the cold. As a whole, the locally produced rounds are of distinctly lower quality, but absolutely consistent in this quality. Field teams charged with testing the rounds report that crews will need to relearn how to range the guns as a result, but that the guns will actually be more accurate.
Work on 6.5x54mm Mannlicher-Schönauer has had similar effects; the rounds are of lower quality, more consistant, and will be in mass production come the cold.
The CSRG 1915, a gun designed to be built in a bicycle shop, has proved tricky for our teams to reverse engineer, perhaps due to the inherent slop of the design. In any event, our copy is of roughly the same quality, probably more difficult for us to produce than it was for the French, still being finalized, and reportedly has a few more quirks than the original, mostly in regards to maintaining the weapon.
The CSRG is an autorifle, developed during the great war for the french army to give mobile, rapid firepower at low cost. This they succeeded in, at the expense of most everything else. The magazines, open sided to allow the loader to check the ammo count, hold at most 16 rounds instead of their official 20. Dirt works its way in through the magazine, around the barrel, just about everywhere. Sustained fire causes the gun to malfunction as the barrel assembly changes shape due to heat, the gun has no ergonomics, recoil is atrocious, and maintenance is hell.
Our copy of it has all these qualities, with even worse maintenance problems.
That said, the weapon is effective and, according to troops who went up against them in the last war, a horror to fight against.

Two out-and-out revisions where worked on, a variant of the 6.5x54mm MS and a CSRG knockoff chambered for it.
The 6.5x54mm P is almost a new round, incorporating new bullet and larger-diameter case. While now in production and generally reliable, the round is of lower quality, with thin case walls and sometimes inconstant shape of the projectile, which is now a spitzer boat-tailed design of longer length inorder to maintain sectional density. Overall, the round has a longer range with a flatter trajectory.
The CSRG M1921, chambered for 6.5x54mmP is in most respects a standard Chauchat, retaining the horrid ergonomics of the original while mitigating some of the issues with dirt and debris. The main changes are in the bolt, chamber, and magazine, with the chambering of 6.5x54mmP requiring new magazines, the gun has gone from a single-stack design to a new magazine of... interesting construction. Efforts to fix the overheating problems have not been able to be fixed, but the problem(thermal expansion of aluminum parts in the barrel assembly) have been reliably pinpointed.
Taking the form of a detachable rotary magazine, the CSRG M1921 magazine holds some twenty rounds and is designed to be reloaded while on the weapon from 5-round stripper clips. Gun teams are expected to be issued some seven magazines and perhaps four hundred rounds of ammunition in clips.
The design will be finalized for production in turn for the cold season.
An evolution of the CSRG, negating many of its issues with muck and feeding from superior magazines actually containing 20 rounds(reloadable on the weapon from 5 round stripper clips)
