When your government & military is practicing widespread usage of chemical warfare, and widely viewed as being barbaric and savage ("Rape of Belgium" anyone?!?), why WOULDNT you try to deflect/shift some of the blame onto your enemy as being the uncivilized ones?
Also, the Germans very quickly abanadoned the whole "le execute zee redditor chuds wiz zee trench dialotr" when we threatened to start executing german POW's with saw-back knives (which were used for engineer purposes btw, not for melee combat)
All in all, the "trench gun" had a near non-existant impact on us doctrine and success int he trenchs, and is indeed a reddit-tier firearm
WW1 "trench gun" was an ineffective shit-tier meme gun
anyone who says otherwise is a reddit-fag who doesn't conduct their own research outside of "Simple History" youtube shorts
confirmed simple-history fag, who doesn't understand wider context, nuance, or conduct actual research outside of "muh chud guntuber lukas trans-kin told me le trench dialator made zee germans super bussin fr fr no cap"
Overrated reddit gun

That's right.

It came to me in a dream.
It’s a very cool gun, even though it probably can’t take out a tiger tank in 1 hit

tldr chud
WW1 "trench gun" was an ineffective shit-tier meme gun
anyone who says otherwise is a reddit-fag who doesn't conduct their own research outside of "Simple History" youtube shorts
The Germans bitched about it when it was used, you sound like a fag
confirmed simple-history fag, who doesn't understand wider context, nuance, or conduct actual research outside of "muh chud guntuber lukas trans-kin told me le trench dialator made zee germans super bussin fr fr no cap"
Surely you will post this "actual research"
>inb4 find it yourself
He literally already posted it
Conversely, the 1912 and stevens 520 shotguns were universally beloved by US Marines and Army personnel who were issued them in World War 2
Finally giving the "trench gun" it's much deserved reputation as (ironically) an incredibly effective jungle (innawoods for reddit chud's) gun
why have a shotgun with cardboard shells instead of an artillery luger or mp18
I'd storm the trenches with power armor and a PK
That picture reminded me of this. Probably the same collection.
Reminds me of the "Russian liberator" meme
First time playing BF1?
had it since release, why is it so hated here ?
For me it's any pistol and a satchel of hand grenades.
