Lore:
The CMMA (Commonwealth Minutemen Arms mfg.) MR39 “Riveter” Machine Rifle is an evolutionary automatic rifle based on the original Chauchat Light Machine-Gun, Developed as an expedient wartime stop-gap weapon design during the late stages of the Great War as the first widely-adopted light-machinegun. The Riveter is the result of multiple retrofits, modification, and simplification by of the collaboration of pre-war civilian hobbyist and small-time gunsmiths answering much of the design-woes while remaining to be an uncomplicated weapon to produce and function. It’s surviving examples were later found by survivors in the harsh post-war wasteland.
The Riveter’s claim to fame lies in its controllable and accurate long continuous bursts of automatic-fire full-powered rifle cartridges with a steady and distinct cadence. Departing from the original Chauchat, it was modified to fire the common 308-Round, and to have a closed-bolt short-recoil action with a long bolt-travel that is maximized by its telescoping bolt that doesn’t bottom-out; reducing recoil but offset by low firing rate. It retained the simple solid-metal tube mated with sheet-metal lower-receivers build, a set of familiar trigger-grip close to the AR15 and a forestock, with an uncomplicated trigger-group with only two modes.
While often considered unfriendly for modification, its simple and ramshackle design lends flexibility to gunsmiths that knows what they are doing, including a popular rechamber to the civilian 20-Gauge 2.75-inch shells as a shotgun, or to the 45-70 Gov’t rounds for hunting. It was adopted by the Minutemen for a short time, with valiant efforts mass-reproducing them intending to standardize their equipment at the peak of their power at the fall of Castle.
