The obscure firearms of World War I

In war, every country works on developing new weapons. Below are some that didn't see significant service, either because they were weird (the Thorneycroft), expensive (the Meunier), awkward (the Chauchat-Ribeyrolles), uncomfortable to use (the MARS), or just too late to enter service (the Annihilator, the MG 18 TuF, the RSC 1918). None of these would have significant use in a simulation of the war, but might be useful for games where the war lasts longer.
