'France has always cloaked her military developments, particularly those concerning Ordnance, in a shroud of secrecy. Indeed, so little has been known of French arms developments and their impact on other designers that Proud Promise will obsolete everything in your library shelves on the subject of military autoloading rifle designs and whence they came. Two hitherto misattributed milestones in arms development, both part and parcel of the featured MAS series of autoloading rifles, are the no-moving-parts gas system, universally thought to have been introduced in the Swedish AG m/42B Ljungmann but in fact invented by a Monsieur Rossignol in 1900; and the rear-locking, tilting bolt, invented not by Saive or Tokarev but by the French, in 1926!
