Ok here is a thing i have had cooking in my mind for a few years no and finally got to drawing. What IF AMERICA entered the WAR in 1915 when the ship with the military men from America as well as Civilians was sunk, this is a wip up of some ideas i have had. Here French Inventers with American and English Ingenuity to counter the Walls of Enemy Trenches as well as Enactments, this being after the catastrophic failure that was Gallipoli for the English Army, America would take the Rifle they already had that was simple in design which was the Springfield '03 rifle and give it the common English 1-5 Pounder Shell( yes i am aware i put a 8 pounder, this was my good after Drawing it) This Would be used for such actions as stated, later would be used for tanks and heavy bulkers, This would also be a very expensive weapon because of the industrial coiled spring on pare of a Model-T Car or Jeep from the time.
This version would have been a Quick made German counterpart of the same rifle, only change would be color differences really but they would be very much the same.
Enjoy.^^
