Interestingly enough, the weapon here is a Ross MkIII Rifle Infantry variant (which isn't in BF1 yet atm - but is in the Test Environment). It was used by the Canadians, and was known to jam a lot in trench warfare-like conditions. It was still used as a very accurate sniper rifle though in the war.



Too bad they didn't go all the way and introduce the Canadian Army as a new faction, but it seems like DICE had too much on their plate with BF2018.
