Content

There is a well-documented incident of the French intercepting a couple hundred CETME-B rifles being smuggled to the FLN in Algeria, and putting them into service with the Marine Commandos. I managed to get a CETME-B parts kit and have it built into a complete rifle (thanks, Parabellum Combat Systems!) and I figured that a 2-Gun match would be a good place to try it out, complete with French lizard camo and a MAC-50 pistol. And it turned out it performed great!

The CETME-B is a really neat developmental step on the path that led to the G3 rifle. I'll have a full video on the rifle coming later.
