Just thought I'd post a list of semi-automatic rifles used in WW1 to liven up the forums.
First is a very interesting German weapon the Mondragón rifle.Mexican built and the worlds first automatic rifle and used throughout the war with either an 8 or a 20 round box magazine or a 100 round magazine as a light machine gun with a heavier barrel.

A nightmare for enemy troops in trench raids I should guess!
The next are two rifles field tested by the British army but never used in combat, the Farquhar-Hill rifle and the Huot Automatic Rifle.
