MAS 36

The MAS-36 was a French service rifle developed in 1936 to replace the 8mm Label M1886 rifles. The Fusil MAS Mle 1936 or "MAS 36" was used during World War II by the Vichy French forces in Africa and Italy, and the French underground or "Maquis", it proved to be a powerful, robust, and lethally accurate firearm all the way up to the 1970's, it achieved a legendary status by being used by the French Foreign Legion. It fired a 7.5mm round from a five round internal box magazine. One interesting feature is that the MAS 36 has a sleeve under the barrel in which a bayonet is housed, in order to use the bayonet the firer must pull it out of the sleeve and screw it into the muzzle of the weapon.

In-game appearances
This weapon is only in Call of Duty: Big Red One, it is very similar to the German K98 rifle. It is found in the level Baptism By Fire and is oddly used by the Axis forces occupying the area. This is strange as Kar98k's in real life are much more reliable and the fact that french weapons are seen in that level and used by Germans is very historically incorrect.
