More bizarre guns. Several years ago we did a "Weaponology" series on the weapons of the Foreign Legion. Here's a pic from our Dien Bien Phu shoot. Legionnaire on my left has the MAT 49. I am holding a CR-39. Which is a MAS 36 retro-fitted with a folding aluminum stock and shorter barrel. Later the rifles were built from scratch! This was done for the easy transport by the Para regiments.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pic...

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
