Lovecraft was basically a /k/ommando from 100 years ago, just image a bunch of folk like him minus the cosmic horror books.

People would have been very excited as actually new technology is released yearly. Not like today where the industry is strapped down by regulation and just plays "how many ways can we repackage an AR"

The military specified that it will adopt no caliber of pistol less than .45 and no rifle less than .30

Look at mister "massive" here with his undersized box mags. My Marlin 1894 holds 10+1.

The United States is neutral. We should be avoiding entangling alliances, and intervening in world affairs.

>/k/ now
The US global hegemony is the PILLAR or Western civilization. You think we shouldn't get involved in the Middle East, how about fuck you.

The industry will change to cater to civilian market, after this Great War in Europe will end all wars, the common gentleman will never find himself in a situation where he would need to put his arms against another of his kin, with such changes mass weapons manufacture will cease to exist and modern companies will only sell equipment for casual outdoors hunting.

Lovecraft was actually a big time gun lover, he owned his first revolver when he was 13, apparently his collection later in life was "fairly impressive" according to his biographer Sunand Joshi

In 1916??? I'd buy an SMG without any bullshit tax stamps, I'd SBR it, and I'd get all this Gucci shit before the feds fucked it all up.

>>31576356
Indeed. During an exercise of our kings Royal Dragoons an NCO had the audacity of claiming to have killed everyone twice over whilst the noble dragoons were charging up the hill to his maxim he brought back from Natal colony. How dare he, call himself an NCO of the cavallerie?!?

>>31574679
I would not mind the game having niggers if they were in the colonies, but dice made 3 out if 5 soldiers black in the battle of the Somme which makes me unhappy.

>>31577254
Theyll never show the German African NCOs of Deutsch Südost Afrika.
Lets not forget: France and Russia 2 of the 3 major Entante are not in the game and will be included as DLC.

>>31577296
It has Italians and ANZACs though.
Two groups that only a small amount of people give a damn about.
Barely anyone would have complained about them not being in the game
Sure no Russians and French is dumb, but the idea that soldiers from major powers are more important is also dumb.
