The country that avoids war and the country that fights but has a hard time winning have been combined. The Swiss made some excellent firearms and the French made some unique and occasionally inspiring ones. We have added the Belgian and Dutch since they are neighbors.

8x59R Lebel? I presume you mean 8x50R Lebel. I have one of those and it shoots very well.
