Romanian Small Arms of WW1


For people who are interested in the weapons of World War 1, one of the best pop culture sources I've found is C&Rsenal's YouTube channel, where they discuss the history of the weapon and test it on range. Watching through the series has led me to stat up the weapons they've discussed, along with a few that get mentioned as being relevant but that haven't had episodes shot yet. Below the break are the Romanian weapons of the First World War. Please note that these use Fire, Fusion & Steel calculations for Pen, rather than my revised penetration calculations.





Type Name Caliber Wt. Mag ROF Dam Pen Blk SS Brst Rng
Handgun Pieper-Bayard Mle 1915 8x27mm BP French 0.85 kg 6R DAR 1 Nil 2 3 N/A 4

Rifle Mannlicher 1893 Carbine 6.5x53.5R Mannlicher 3.3 kg 5c(5) BA 3 2-Nil 7 3 N/A 63

The Pieper-Bayard cannot use speedloaders.

Both of the rifles use enbloc clips.
