1911’s in ww1 had something called hammer bite, where your hand could be nipped by the hammer as it was pushed down. If you look closely, you can also see that ww1 era 1911s lacked the cutouts near the trigger, and had a flat mainspring housing

It’s still magazine fed though, as in there’s a magazine that feeds the ammunition into the chamber, doesn’t have anything to do with how it was reloaded.
By definition, a magazine has to be a replaceable ammo container that's integrated into the guns design. The Lee did in fact have this, as conversations were eventually made to turn it into a semi automatic rifle. It's just internally fed for the standard soldier to cut costs. Can't take the ammo well out of a Mosin and replace it 🤷♂️
I as well need to point out that the Mosin Was actually loved by much soldiers even though the bolt was clunky, it is a legendary gun still used today and this thing has been in more wars than your great great grand father.

The Mosin Nagant rifle was designed in 1891, and later updated to the M91/30 rifle, along with different carbine versions like the M38 and M44. So it has been around a lot longer than just WW2.

Fun fact about the lee enfield, it remained in service until 2018 when the canadian mountain rangers finally retired it for a seperate bolt action I believe. The Lee Enfield operated very well in cold environments, which is exactly what the mt rangers operated in.
It was brought in at the end of the war, and trust me, as someone who owns one, that thing is way to fucking heavy compared to other rifles in the war, especially with its original stock

Soldiers only really hated the first models of the Mosin, the problems it had were fixed pretty quick and made to do better in extreme cold. It became loved fairly quickly once made more reliable and less complex.

Lewis gun was probably on par with 47 rounds of .303 in a mag can be operated by 1 man if need be (usually had a crew of 4 gunner, loader and 2 riflemen in support) these we the first true support weapon and because of how devastating they were just like the trench gun user they were also executed if caught the only reason the germans didn't try to ban it was the fact machine guns was to common by then. They were so effective every British platoon had a least 1 or 2 Lewis guns

It's drill rifles, because obviously you need to have those to do much

The dinnerplate (Lewis gun): YOU CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
We can all agree that the problem solver packing the gods caliber is not only iconic in ww1, but it has served much more and is a hero.
The LEE was used by some Canadian force up until recently for its reliability and effectiveness
Used a Mk 4 SMLE for pic when they weren’t around until after the war.

In the U.K. Lee Enfields still cost around £500 today if you want to buy one.

The Luger, Gewehr 98, Carcano, M1903, M1917, Vickers, and Lewis would all like to have a word with you.
British "Doughboys" almost never wore the netting due to snipers being able to easily spot their helmets
Slight correction, the 1911 has been obsolete for a long time due to the 1911A1 completely replacing it in the 1920s
Everybody loves the Mosin except the people who use the Mosin.
Slight correction. In the UK, we don't use cents. We use pence
Trench shotguns need to be in here. Slam fire was the goat of the frontline
Lewis gun was probably on par with 47 rounds of .303 in a mag can be operated by 1 man if need be (usually had a crew of 4 gunner, loader and 2 riflemen in support) these we the first true support weapon and because of how devastating they were just like the trench gun user they were also executed if caught the only reason the germans didn't try to ban it was the fact machine guns was to common by then. They were so effective every British platoon had a least 1 or 2 Lewis guns
I was thinking PO8s and C96s but fair enough.
Did he really just say 3 pounds and 75 cents? I can't anymore
Mauser C96 definitely deserves a spot. When I think WW1 firearms, I immediately think of the C96
