The M1 Theimer is a .30 caliber semi-automatic rifle that was the standard Gallian service rifle during the Second Europan War and the War of Lorican Aggression. It was intended to replace the Galliagewehr 35 rifle, which was much more prone to jamming. Most M1 rifles were issued to Gallian forces, though many hundreds of thousands were also provided as foreign aid to Gallian allies. The Theimer is still used by drill teams and military honor guards.

It is named after its designer, Wolfgang Theimer or simply known as Theimer, who experienced the hardships of the Galliagewehr 35. Compared to the Lucian Lee-Enfield, it was more prone to jamming and less reliable that some soldiers refused to trade in their Lee-Enfield for the latter. When the M1 was introduced, the Gallian Army started to replace their Galliangewehr's with the M1 whilst retaining the Lee-Enfields, most of which were added with a scope for sniper usage.
