yeah, there was a surprising number of guns that bf1 would have you beleive were common issue yet very few existed. and ironically despite it being packed full of developmental semi auto rifles that never would have seen frontline combat they missed out the one and only self loading infantry rifle that actually was fielded in decent numbers.
and dont get me started on the body armour which they'd have you beleive is proof against basically any weapon at any range.
now i get why they did it- a realistic portrayal of ww1 would have been better titled "stand in a trench for 3 weeks before going over the top and getting mowed down in 30s by a machine gun simulator 2016"
which gun is that?
