The Galliangewehr 35, also known as Gallian Rifle Model 35 is a 7.92 caliber semi-automatic rifle used by the Royal Gallian Army. It was one of the earliest known semi-automatic rifles ever made.
It first saw service during the First Europan War and it was a favorite of many, including the Gallia Militia but its shortcomings made it saw its service short and was replaced by the M1 Theimer in 1943. It was also made as a standard issue rifle for the Gallian Army to replace the Lee-Enfield (which were supplied by the UK through its Commonwealth Realms in 1913) but the popularity, reliability and far-superior accuracy of the Enfield ensured that the Lee-Enfield remained in Gallian service until 1969.
