It's a French Chauchat light machine gun. The Americans used it early in the war until the much superior Browning was available.

One of the worst pieces of crap fielded by any army. Not the Browning.

One of the worst light MGs ever.

Open sided semi circular. This led to its greatest weakness, because the magazine was open sided it was very easy for dirt to enter, causing the weapon to jam repeatedly.
